1.1 Description of AIS
What does the abbreviation AIS stand for?
AIS stands for: “Automatic Identification System”
What is AIS?
According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows:
Very simply, the AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime
mobile Band. It is capable of sending ship information such as identification, position
course, speed and more, to other ships and to shore. It can handle multiple reports at
rapid update rates and uses Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA)
technology to meet these high broadcast rates and ensure reliable and robust ship to ship
operation.
What are the performance standards of AIS?
The IMO defines the performance standards as follows:
Which modules make up an AIS-Transponder?
The Modules:
Appropriate application software connects the individual modules.
In which modes does AIS function?
AIS are required to function flawlessly in a variety of modes. The relevant regulations require:
The system shall be capable of
- Ship to Ship working
- Ship to Shore working, including Long Range Application
- Automatic and continuous operation
- Provision of information messaging
- Utilization of maritime VHF channels
- DGPS / GPS receiver
- VHF Radio
- Antenna
- Computer (CPU)
- Power Supply
- An "autonomous and continuous" mode for operation in all areas. This mode
shall be capable of being switched to/from one of the following alternate modes by
a competent authority;
- An "assigned" mode for operation in an area subject to a competent authority
responsible for traffic monitoring such that the data transmission interval and/or
time slots may be set remotely by that authority;
- A "polling or controlled" mode, where the data transfer occurs in response to
interrogation from a ship or competent authority.
1.2 AIS in an Operational Environment

Y1-03-0212H
This illustration depicts a typical AIS System, where two or more AIS
equipped vessels (and shore based systems) are automatically
communicating with each other.
On the bottom, a typical NAUTICAST™ installation in a common environment is shown.
The NAUTICAST™ is connected to the vessels emergency power supply, and in
connection with the VHF, and GPS-Antennas, the minimal requirements for Transponder
operation are fulfilled.
Both vessels in the above illustration are equipped with a NAUTICAST™ (or any other
certified AIS-Transponder). Due to “Time – Synchronization” they use the same
organization of free and allocated windows (Slots) in the shared VHF Data Link (this
method is called “Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access”) to send and receive
messages.
Without the necessity of any active interaction, both vessels know exactly who or what is
cruising nearby and where the individual object is heading.
1.3 AIS Networks

The scenario below shows a full AIS coverage area (including all applications and complete
shore infrastructure).
The Carriage Requirement currently applies to SOLAS Vessels and will be extended on
Inland Waterways.

2.1 System Overview
Unlike other AIS devices, the NAUTICAST™ combines all required functions into one cabinet.
Additionally, the NAUTICAST™ gives the operator a number of additional features (easy
mounting & installation, environmental protection and smallest dimensions).
3 Installation
Y1-03-0212H
5
IMPORTANT: AUTHORITIES MANDATE that after the physical installation has
been successfully completed, all ships data and settings be entered into the AIS
transponder. See Section 4 for further instructions.
3.1 Installation Requirements
General Requirements
Please note that international conventions, regulations, instructions and guidelines have to be
adhered to when installing the NAUTICAST™.
The following points must be observed before installation can commence:
- Permission by the local authority to install such a device must be granted.
- Trained service personnel must undertake the installation.
- The NAUTICAST™ must be fitted in a suitable place on the bridge.
- The VHF and GPS Antennas must be installed in a suitable position, where excellent
reception conditions apply (refer to Chapter 3.10 Installation of VHF antenna)
- All available interfaces must be installed.
- The vessels power supply must suffice, and the GMDSS power supply has to be
used.
- Installation of the pilot plug in conning position (close to the pilot working place).
3.2 Installation Overview
Survey
AIS is considered part of the ship‟s radio station and is surveyed together with radio
installation. Surveys on SOLAS Convention ships should be carried out in accordance with
the rules laid down in IMO Res. A 746(18) "Survey Guidelines under the harmonized system
of survey and certification" (R) 8, and "Protocol of 1988 relating to the International
Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974."
The NAUTICAST™ consists of one unit, which integrates all necessary modules.
Step-by-Step Installation Procedure:
6
Y1-03-0212H
Mount the NAUTICAST™ close to ships operation workstation for traffic surveillance
and maneuvering.
Use the VHF adapter cable (P/N 2612) together with the VHF plug and TNC plug to
connect the VHF and GPS antenna cables and antennas.
The sensors, ECDIS, PC, pilot case, long range devices and auxiliary displays can be
connected to the NAUTICAST™ cabinet by the AIS cable by means of the connection
box. The device is driven by a 24V DC 7A supply, which is connected to the power
terminal at the connection box. The AIS should be connected to an emergency power
source. A battery capacity calculation together with GMDSS-equipment is needed!
Please refer to Appendix 9.1 for examples of battery capacity calculations.
After performing these steps, the NAUTICAST™ automatically starts operation.
The NAUTICAST™ has a ground terminal which has to be connected to ship ground.
Now configure the required initial system parameters according to Chapter 4 “Starting
the NAUTICAST™.”
NAUTICAST Connection Diagram
Note: The optional ACR connection box includes a fuse of 6,3A. If it is not used, then the unit
has to be protected against high current by an external slow blow fuse of 6,3A.

The used sentence formatters for the pilot plug are the same as those listed for the ECDIS
port.
Note: A pilot input/output port is part of an AIS Class A installation. A plug connected to this
port should be installed on the bridge near the pilot‟s operating position, so that a pilot can
connect a Personal Pilot Unit (PPU) if required. Also, a power connector for the pilot unit
should be available nearby.
The pilot plug should be configured as follows: (Refer to SUB-COMMITTEE ON SAFETY OF
NAVIGATION NAV48/18 2.4.2002)
AMP/Receptacle (Square Flanged (-1) or Free-Hanging (-2)), Shell size 11, 9-pin,
Std. Sex 206486-1/2 or equivalent with the following connections:
- Tx A (out-) is connected to Pin 1
- Tx B (out+) is connected to Pin 4
- Rx A (in-) is connected to Pin 5
- Rx B (in+) is connected to Pin 6
- Shield is connected to Pin 9
3.4.4 Long Range CH 8
The AIS long range function requires a compatible long range communication system (e.g.
Inmarsat-C or MF/HF radio as part of GMDSS). This connection is required in order to
activate the long range function of the AIS. Its input/output port must meet the IEC 61162-2
requirements.

Field / Protocol information:
All fields are provided with further information; please refer to ITU-R M.823-2 / RTCM SC 104
for detailed field information.
3.4.6 Alarm Circuit – BIIT Channel 10
The AIS requires that an alarm output (relay) must be connected to an audible alarm device
or the ships alarm system, if available.
Alternatively, the BIIT (built-in integrity test) alarm system may use the alarm messages
output on the presentation port (ECDIS Port Channel 5), provided the ECDIS alarm system is
connected and AIS compatible.
3.4.7 Proprietary Sentences
The proprietary ACR NMEA sentences have the NMEA registered manufacture talker ID
“NAU”. The $PNAU sentences are an addition to the standard sentences and offer other
manufactures full remote control to the Transponder. The additional “Extended NMEA
command set” – manual, which could be requested on demand, includes the full description
of how to use the proprietary NAUTICAST sentences.

3.5 Sensor Interface Definitions
All interface ports of the NAUTICAST comply with IEC-61162-1 / -2 and NMEA-0183 HS 3.0
specifications (aligned to RS422 parameters).
3.5.1 Talker drive circuits
The maximum output current is I
requirements of ITU-T V.11.
3.5.2 Listener Receiver Circuits
Multiple listeners may be connected to a single talker. Optional termination resistors
(120Ohm) for the input lines are provided in the connection box. The input terminals A, B and
C are electrically isolated from the remaining electronics of the listening device.
The input impedance is 30kOhm between A and B lines, disregarding the connection of
termination resistors. The minimum input voltage is ±0,3V.
The listener's receiver circuit complies with ITU-T V.11.
= 50mA on each port. The drive circuit meets the
max
3.5.3 Electrical isolation
There are no direct electrical connections between the signal lines A and B.
The signal ground C must not be connected to the ship main ground or power line!
This isolation is in accordance with IEC 60945.
3.5.4 Maximum voltage on the bus
The maximum applied voltage between signal lines A and B and between either line and
ground C is in accordance with ITU-T V.11. For protection against incorrect wiring and for
unintended connection to older TALKER models, all receiver circuit devices are capable of
withstanding 15 V between both lines and signal ground for an indefinite period.
3.5.5 Data transmission
Data is transmitted in serial asynchronous form in accordance with IEC 61162-1. The first bit
is a start bit, and is followed by data bits, whereby the least significant bit is first.
The following parameters are used:
– Baud rate 38 400 (bits/s) 9600 (bits/s) 4 800 (bits/s)
– Data bits 8 (D7 = 0), parity none
– Stop bits 1.
3.6 Sensor notes
12
Y1-03-0212H
External Sensor
The AIS has interfaces (configurable as IEC 61162-1 or 61162-2) for position, bottom track
(BT) speed, heading and rate of turn (ROT) sensors. In general, sensors installed in
compliance with other carriage requirements of SOLAS Chapter V should be connected to the
AIS System.*1. The sensor information transmitted by AIS should be the same information
being used for navigation of the ship. Interfacing problems might occur if the existing on board
sensors do not have serial (IEC 61162) outputs. A converter is needed to translate the non
conform data to IEC 61162 – sensor data. For Example ACR Converter type P/N 2641.
*1) The fact that AIS is fitted on board a vessel does NOT entail the need to install additional sensors
other than those stated in the carriage requirements.
External GPS
GNSS position sensors normally have IEC 61162 outputs suitable for direct AIS interfacing.
However, it is important to note that:
• The Geodetic Datum of the position data is transmitted by the sensor in WGS84 so that an
IEC 61162 DTM sentence is configured.
• AIS is able to process two reference points for its antenna position, one for external, and
one for an internal sensor. If more than one external reference point is used, the appropriate
information needs to be input to the AIS, so that the reference point information is suitably
adjusted.
External Heading
A gyrocompass providing heading information is a mandatory sensor input to the AIS. A
converter unit (synchro or step-signal converter to NMEA 0183 v.3.0 for example ACR
Converter type P/N 2641 will be needed for AIS connection in the case that the ship‟s
gyrocompass does not provide IEC 61162 output.
External Speed and Course
If a bottom track (BT) log for Speed Over Ground (SOG) is available, it may be connected. A
converter (for example ACR Converter type P/N 2641) is needed if the BT-log does not
provide IEC 61162 outputs.
External Rate of Turn
Not all ships will carry a Rate-Of-Turn (ROT) indicator according to IMO A.526. However, if a
rate-of-turn indicator is available and it includes an IEC 61162 interface, it should be
connected to the AIS.
If ROT information is not available from a ROT indicator, it may (optionally) be derived from
heading information through:
• The gyrocompass itself,
• An external converter unit (see Heading),
• The AIS itself (calculated ROT).

3.7.1 Installation of an RS422 serial interface:
In most cases, the output from a GPS is already being used by existing navigation equipment.
It is possible to split an RS 422 output for two devices. If the signal becomes too low, then an
NMEA splitter has to be used.
Example for single talk multi-listener connection:
Each interface on the Transponder is a RS422 serial interface
The shield or ship main ground should not be connected with the signal ground (GND).

3.8.1 Introduction
The NAUTICAST™ AIS requires a connection to various sensor devices. Sensor
Configuration should enable compatibility with existing navigation devises aboard any vessel.
This chapter deals with several ways to configure the NAUTICAST™ and to comply with the
requirements of the specific sensor interfaces.
Configuration and display is visible on two screens of the Sensor Configuration Menu. The
NAUTICAST™ offers the following configuration options:
Set up data speed 4800/9600/38400 baud.
Monitor the connected sensor inputs for each sensor channel.
Verify and edit the Sensor Configuration on the display screen.
Analyze the information received from the connected sensor devices.
Produce an electronic installation report.
Configuration of various NMEA protocols.
The individual options may be repeated until the required configuration for the connected
sensor devices is achieved.
During the configuration process, the NAUTICAST™ is not operational.
3.8.2 Set up Sensor Speed, Checksum (CRC) and NMEA Talker and Sentence ID
The Sensor configuration is accessible via the submenu „5. Sensor Settings‟ in the Service
Password protected menu: „5. Transponder Configuration‟. Please see the appendix in your
User Manual for password information.
After accessing the Sensor Configuration menu this main configuration screen is active:

A variety of possible settings can be made on this screen. It is possible to navigate from one
configuration item to another by pressing the up and down arrow keys. Value will be changed
by pressing the left and right arrow key. The fastest way to jump from one sensor to another
is by pressing numbers 1 – 3 on the keyboard. (Refer also to chapter 3.8.4 for specific
information on a particular sensor)
The following changes can be undertaken for each of the sensor interfaces (by left and right
arrow key):
o Changing the baud rate (4800, 9600 and 38400) to the required speed of the sensor
device by pressing the right or left arrow keys.
o Enabling or disabling CRC-Checking by pressing the right or left arrow keys.
<auto> Sentence will be accepted with or without Checksum
<on> Checksum must be available
o Configuring NMEA sentences, which the system filters and ignores
There are 5 entry fields where characters can be input. Two positions of each entry
field are for Talker-Id, and three for Sentence-Id, which represents the NMEAsentence which should be ignored by the system.
(i.e. the default setting: “HC“ means ignore all NMEA records starting with HC on this
particular sensor interface)
Note: HC stands for magnetic north and should be ignored.
For Example:
--VTG means all VTG sentence IDs will be ignored like GPVTG, GNVTG…

Processed dynamic ship data such as position, SOG etc. is generated by NMEA sentences.
Exceptions:
If "Calc" is displayed on the sensor analyze screen, this means that this sentence is used for
calculating dynamic ship data.
ROT out of HDT
ROT direction left / right -/+ will be calculated out of the HDT Message, if a TIROT sentence
(only “TI”-Talker devices are valid) is not connected.
COG information out of VBW
COG will be generated out of VBW, if HDT is available. In this case the atan2 of the
longitudinal and transversal speed plus heading is basis of the calculation.
Longitudinal/Transversal SOG from VBW
If VBW is available, SOG is also calculated without HDT.

3.13 Installation of VHF / GPS Antennas
Y1-03-0212H

Interference to the Ship’s VHF Radiotelephone
The AIS ship borne equipment, like any other ship borne transceiver operating in the VHF
maritime band, may cause interference to a ship‟s VHF radiotelephone. Because AIS is a
digital system, this interference may occur as a periodic (e.g. every 20 seconds) soft clicking
sound on the ship‟s radiotelephone. This affect may become more noticeable if the VHF
radiotelephone antenna is located close to the AIS VHF antenna, and when the
radiotelephone is operating on channels near the AIS operating channels (e.g. channels 27,
28 and 86).
Attention should be paid to the location and installation of the various antennas, in order to
support the antenna characteristics in the best possible way.
3.13.1 VHF Antenna Installation
Antenna Location
Location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital
communication is more sensitive than analogue/voice communication to interference created
by reflections caused by obstructions such as masts and booms. It may be necessary to
relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects.
To minimize the interference effects, the following guidelines apply:
The AIS VHF antenna should have omni directional vertical polarisation.
The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position, as free standing as
possible, with a minimum of 2 meters in horizontal direction from constructions made
of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical
obstruction. The AIS VHF antenna should have a visible sky of 360°.
The AIS VHF antenna should be installed at least 3 meters away from interfering high-
power energy sources such as radar and other transmitting radio antennas, and out of
the way of the transmitting beam.
There should not be more than one antenna on each level. The AIS VHF antenna
should be mounted directly above or below the ship‟s primary VHF radiotelephone
antenna, with no horizontal separation and a minimum of 2 meters vertical separation.
If it is located on the same level as other antennas, the distance apart should measure
at least 10 meters.
See also sample for antenna layout in the Appendix (Drawings and Approvals)
Cabling
The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize attenuation of the signal. Double
shielded coaxial cables equal to or better than RG214 is recommended.
RG214 at VHF attenuation per meter of app. 0,07 dB/m (45m = 3,15db)
VHF AIS frequency app. 162MHz
All outdoor connectors on the coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation, such
30
Y1-03-0212H
as shrink-stocking with silicone to protect the antenna cable against water penetration.
Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes, and at least 10
cm away from any power supply cables. Crossing of cables should take place at right angles
(90°). Coaxial cables should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to changes to
the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the
cables outside diameter.
Grounding
Coaxial down-leads must be used for all receiving antennas, and the coaxial screen should
be connected to the ground at one end.
3.13.2 GNSS Antenna installation
A Class A AIS must be connected to a GNSS antenna.
Location
The GNSS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it accesses
the horizon freely through 360°, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the
horizon. Small diameter obstructions, such as masts and booms, do not seriously impair
signal reception, but such objects must not eclipse more than a few degrees of any given
bearing.
The antenna must be located at least three meters away from, and out of the transmitting
beam of high-power transmitters (S-Band Radar and/or Inmarsat systems). This includes the
ship‟s own AIS VHF antenna, if it is designed and installed separately. See also sample for
antenna layout in Installation Manual Appendix 8.2 (Drawings)
If a DGNSS system is included or connected to the AIS system, the installation of the antenna
should be undertaken in accordance with IEC 61108-4, Edition 1.
Cabling
To achieve optimum performance, the gain of the antenna pre-amplifier should match the
cable attenuation. The NAUTICAST can be equipped with two different types of internal GPS
receivers. It differs between „Jupiter‟ and „µBlox‟
The resulting installation gain for Jupiter (pre-amplifier gain - cable attenuation) should be
within 0 to 10 dB and for µBlox 5 to 15 dB. RG214 as GPS antenna cable has an attenuation
per meter of app. 0,35 dB/m (45m = 15,75dB); GPS frequency app. 1,2GHz).
The coaxial cable between the antenna and the AIS ship borne station connector should be
routed directly, in order to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable should not be
installed close to high-power lines, such as radar or radio-transmitter lines, or near the AIS
VHF antenna cable. A space of one meter or more is recommended in order to avoid
degradation due to RF-coupling. Crossing of antenna cables should take place at 90 degrees,
to minimize magnetic field coupling.

The data input field is fitted with the recommended default value (<on>). M5 button is used for
saving the settings.
NOTE: The system will be restarted after saving the settings.
<µBlox> GPS Receiver:
This GPS receiver is installed in later versions of NAUTICAST™. It is designed for use with
passive and active antennas. The recommended GPS antenna should have a minimum gain
of 15 - 20 dB to compensate signal loss in RF cable. The supplied ACR – GPS antenna is a
active type and has a gain of +30dB it is able to drive cable lengths of 45 meters. Antennas
with more than 50 dB should not be used. This high signal level can damage the GPS
receiver.
<Jupiter> GPS receiver:
As described above, the resulting installation gain should be between 0 to 10 dB. If the
internal GPS receiver will be overloaded with more than 18dB, then it could be damaged.

5.1 Reading and understanding Alarms:
The NAUTICAST differentiates between Alarm and TXT messages. An Alarm informs the
user about major system malfunctions and failings in the connected sensors.
The Alarm Status informs the user about all active Alarms. The Alarm will be disabled and
deleted from the Alarm Status, as soon as the displayed problem has been rectified.
The TXT status displays additional sensor information and the UTC clock status.
See tables (Section 5.2 and 5.3) for Alarm and TXT Messages.
Select “AIS Status” with cursor button [Up] & [Down]
or press Number 2 on the keyboard.
Select “Alarm Status” or “TXT Status” with cursor button [Up] & [Down]
or press Number 4 or 5 on the keyboard.
5.2 Alarm Codes
ID
Description Text
Cause/Source
System Reaction / Remedy
01
AIS: Tx malfunction
VHF Antenna,
cabling
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and ID 02
are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has arisen.
Remedy:
Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the antenna
cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the connectors.
If the ID 01 is displayed as a stand alone message, then the unit requires
replacing.
02
AIS: Antenna VSWR exceeds limit
(VSWR - Voltage Standing Wave
Ratio)
VHF antenna,
installation
Reaction: The transponder unit continues transmission.
Remedy:
Check the antenna and the antenna cabling (RG214 / 50 Ohm cable
required).
03
AIS: Rx channel 1 malfunction
Internal error
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission on the affected channel,
Remedy;
If this alarm reoccurs regularly, then the transponder unit requires replacing.
04
AIS; Rx channel 2 malfunction
05
AIS: Rx channel 70 malfunction
06
AIS: General failure
Internal error
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission.
Remedy;
The transponder unit requires replacing.
25
AIS; External EPFS lost (EPFS =
electronic Position Fixing System
such as GPS)
No valid data on
Ch1, Ch2 or Ch3
is available
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the position data
of the internal GPS. If there is no valid position data available from the
internal GPS, error 026 is additionally displayed.
Remedy:
Id 25 indicates that the sentences GLL, GNS, GGA, RMC cannot be
received. Check the sensor and the cabling; check if the system that delivers
the data is working. Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. AIS
requires the protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0!
26
AIS: No sensor position in use
No valid position
from internal
GPS or external
position sensor
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation.
Remedy:
Check the sensor cabling and the antenna of the internal GPS sensor.
29
AIS: No valid SOG information
No valid data
from external
speed sensor or
internal GPS
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation and displays SOG: N/A
Remedy:
The sentences VBW, VTG, RMC cannot be received. Check the sensor and
the cabling; check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check the
baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. AIS requires the protocol NMEA
0183 V3.0!
30
AIS: No valid COG Information
No valid data
from external
sensor or internal
GPS
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation and displays COG: N/A
Remedy:
The sentences VBW, VTG, RMC cannot be received. Check the sensor and
the cabling, check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check the
baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. AIS requires the protocol NMEA
0183 V3.0!
32
AIS: Heading lost/invalid
No valid data
from external
sensor
(Gyrocompass)
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation
Remedy:
The sentence for HDT cannot be received. Check the sensor and the
cabling, check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check the baud
rate settings of the sensor inputs. Mention AIS accepts true heading only (no
magnetic).
35
AIS: No valid ROT Information
No ROT indicator
is used.
No valid data
from external
sensor
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation
Remedy:
The sentence for ROT cannot be received. If a Rate Of Turn indicator is not
in use, then it suffices to just acknowledge the alarm. The Alarm Status will
store the information that no ROT sensor is available. Otherwise, check the
sensor and the cabling. Check if the system that delivers the data is working.
Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. The AIS requires the
protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0!
53
AIS: BATTERY SOON LOW
Battery is soon
out of capacity
Reaction: Own ship data is lost after powering on/off the system.
Remedy: consider to contact Technical Support for additional help
55
AIS: PRESS ENTER TO EXIT
1W/AUTO TX MODE
Conditions for
enabling 1 Watt
TX power are not
valid
Reaction: Conditions for enabling 1 Watt TX power are not valid.
This means that:
the speed is >3kn and / or
the navigational status is NOT moored / at anchor and / or
the ship type is NOT “Tanker”
Remedy:
Check the conditions (SOG, Navstat, Shiptype)
if GPS is valid ( a invalid GPS causes also this alarm)
56
AIS: ENTER MMSI NUMBER
No valid MMSI
entered.
Reaction: During the initial boot or after “factory settings” the user is asked to
enter a valid MMSI. As long as this is not done, the system does not
transmit.
Remedy: Enter a valid MMSI

Alarm ID 29 or
ID 30
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the data from the
internal GPS.
Remedy:
Check the sensor and the cabling; Check if the system that delivers the data
is working; Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs
31
AIS: Heading valid
Information
Reaction: Heading is in full operation
Remedy: no action required
33
AIS: Rate of Turn Indicator in use
Information
Reaction: A Rate Of Turn indicator is connected and in full operation
Remedy: no action required
34
AIS: Other ROT source in use
Information
Reaction: The transponder unit is operating with ROT data rather than with
TIROT data - therefore the AIS only differs between
+ 127 (turning right at 720 degrees per minute or higher) and
– 127 (turning left at 720 degrees per minute or higher)

9.1 Samples for battery calculation
9.1.1 Typical Installation
GMDSS Battery size calculation for 1 hour (Battery size calculation based on the IMO regulations
Chapter IV - Reg.13)
Ship Name QMIII
Battery capacity 230Ah
Battery Type 2x (12V / 135)
Area A1, A2, A3
Battery located in battery chest on observation deck
K1
partly discharged battery
K1
= K1 x 1 / 0,30 106,78 Ah
-30°
K5 =K1
Selected Battery (K5) = 230,00 Ah
K1
partly discharged battery
correction factor taking care that the battery might not be fully charged
(we assume that in worst case the battery is only at 80% fully charged)
K1
=
-30°
correction factor taking care that the battery may be used
at ambient temperature of - 30 degress
(at -30 degrees the battery has only 30% of nominal capacity)
K5 = correction factor taking care of that the battery
is defined by manufacturer for 5 hours discharge time
Calculation for AIS =
transmit pulse length 26,6ms with a maximum repetition rate of 2 seconds results in a maximum of 30
pulses/minute 1800 pulses/hour x 26,6 ms 47880 ms 47,88 seconds transmit time during one
hour 47,88 seconds 0,8 minutes 0,0133 hours transmitting time during one hour operation
Up-Rounded to 0,02 hrs transmitting time
Above mentioned calculation assumes that all equipment is in operation which is normally not valid,
that means that the actual consumption is lower.
= Total consumption x 1,25 =58,73 Ah
