AIS?isWhat
AIS permits the non-verbal exchange of navigation information between vessels and shore-side vessel traffic centers. AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast information about the vessel to other ships and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies in the maritime band.
AIS will not replace radar because it is unable to detect landmasses and navigational beacons, but it can be used as a significant enhancement to currently available technology.
AISofClasses
Your AIS250 is a receive-only unit that will receive messages from vessels carrying Class A or Class B transceivers.
AClass
A Class A transceiver transmits and receives AIS signals. It is currently compulsory on all commercial vessels that exceed 300 tons that also travel internationally
transmittedInformation
The following information can be transmitted by a Class A AIS system:
•Static data
This includes information such as Ship’s name, type, MMSI number, call sign, IMO number, length and beam and GPS antenna location.
•Voyage related data
This includes information such as draft, cargo, destination, ETA and other relevant information.
•Dynamic data
5
This includes information such as time (UTC), ship’s position, COG, SOG, heading, rate of turn and navigational status.
•Dynamic reports
These are ship’s speed and status.
•Messages
These are alarms and safety messages.
You should remember that not all vessels will transmit all of the information.
bycoverednotvessels(Recreational-BClass A)Classsuitable
Class B transceiver’s are suitable to vessels under 65 feet in length and is not compulsory.
You should NOT assume that any class of AIS receiver is displaying all/any smaller vessels within your range.
Note: All messages contain the Ships individual MMSI number for unique reference identification purposes along with the data in the following table. Not all the information in the following table is necessarily transmitted by every vessel.

informationdynamicandStatic
Defined transmit rates for Class A vessels shown below are provided for reference purposes only. The frequency of messages received (using the AIS250 receive-only unit) will vary due to a number of factors including but not limited to such factors as antenna height, gain and signal interference.
•Static information is either broadcast every 6 minutes, when data has been amended, or upon request.
•Dynamic information is broadcast depending on speed and course alteration based on the following tables

Installation2:Chapter
Installation2:Chapter guidelinesinstallationEMC2.1
Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•Raymarine equipment and the cables connected to it are:
•At least 3 ft. (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m).
•More than 7 ft. (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
•The product is supplied by a separate battery from that used to start the engine. Power supply voltages below the
9
minimum specified for a product, and starter motor transients, can cause the product to reset. This will not damage the product, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.
•Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
FerritesSuppression
If a supplied cable is fitted with a suppression ferrite, the ferrite must not be removed, unless it is necessary to facilitate installation. Any ferrite thus removed must be replaced in the original position immediately after installation is complete.
If additional suppression ferrites are required, use only ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
EquipmentOthertoConnections
If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
