1. Product definition

1.1. Purpose

KanAtoN 1 AIS and KanAtoN 3 AIS Transponders are designed to be installed on a buoy to
transmit information relating to this buoy using a HF transmitter in the 160 MHz band with AIS

Transmitted data are:

 buoy identification;
 name;
 ON or OFF signaling lights information;
 buoy position;
 Optionally meteorological and hydrological data.

The transponder is housed in a dome comprising a cover and a moulded base.
This manual describes the installation and start up of KanAtoN 3 AIS Transponder. The software
