AtoN Installation & Operation Manual
GENERAL
This product and related documentation must be reviewed for familiarization with safety
markings and instructions before operation.
This board was constructed in an ESD (electro–static discharge) protected environment. This is
because most of the semiconductor devices used in this board are susceptible to damage by static
discharge.
Depending on the magnitude of the charge, device substrates can be punctured or destroyed by
contact or mere proximity of a static charge. The results can cause degradation of device performance, early failure, or immediate destruction.
These charges are generated in numerous ways such as simple contact, separation of materials,
and normal motions of persons working with static sensitive devices.
When handling or servicing equipment containing static sensitive devices, adequate precautions
must be taken to prevent device damage or destruction.
Only those who are thoroughly familiar with industry accepted techniques for handling static sensitive devices should attempt to service circuitry with these devices.
In all instances, measures must be taken to prevent static charge build–up on work surfaces and
persons handling the devices.

1.1. General
The Aids to Navigation (AtoN) is an Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmitter
that is fully compliant to the technical specifications defined by the IMO and outlined
in ITU.R.M 1371-1
gation buoys with no periodic maintenance required. The transmitter employs the
latest radio frequency and FATDMA technology to provide a high performance, automated, and reliable identification system. The transmitter is a fully automated system, which ties into the buoy’s navigational and/or weather monitoring instrumentation to provide automatic transmission of navigational and meteorological data (dependent on the installation).
The Transponder is a fully automated system. This means that once it is installed
and turned on, no maintenance is required to keep it operational.

The L --3 ProTec Inland Waterways/Class A Automatic Identification System
transponder is manufactured in Sarasota, Florida, United States of America, pursuant to ISO 9000.
1.1.1. System Overview
The AtoN is an Aids to Navigation System fully compliant with the IMO specifications
defined in IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, IEC 62320--2-2
addition of the FATDMA controllers, the AtoN provides a cost-effective AIS solution,
which will meet the needs of any waterway required to transmit AtoN data. The compact, single-box design allows the AtoN to be easily incorporated into any buoy layout thus simplifying installation and cabling requirements.
The AtoN has been designed as maintenance-free unit, which makes extensive use
of surface mount technology (SMT). The repair of printed wiring assemblies (PWAs)
containing SMT components requires specialized factory equipment, training, and
techniques, therefore, such PWAs are not field-repairable.
As a result, maintenance philosophy for the AtoN is replacement of failed assemblies. In the case of the AtoN, the entire unit should be sent back to the factory, in the
unlikely case of a failure.
, and ITU.R M.1371-3.Withthe
Attempts by anyone but an authorized L --3 representative to repair the AtoN will void
the warranty.
