Technical Manual
2.1 Compatibility with Other Systems
2Overview
The 3410 is an AIS Electronics Unit which receives data from other vessels by means of a VHF radio
and sends these data to the radar/navigation system. In the opposite direction, the AIS receives data from
the radar/navigation system and the ship’s sensors and transmits these data by means of the VHF radio.
Access to these data and access to the VHF radio for a pilot is prepared by means of an additional pilot
port.
The AIS has a long range port to connect a long distance communication system, for instance a satellite
communication system. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. These data are sent
back via the long range port to the questioner.
The AIS 3410 is equipped with a 16 channel GPS receiver and provides position data according to IEC
61162 Edition 3, so that it is suitable for the use as a position sensor. In areas where the VTS stations
provide differential correction data via VHF link the AIS 3410 switches automatically into DGPS mode.
For further details see Section 4.
2.1 Compatibility with Other Systems
2 Overview
The AIS 3410 can be used in the following system:
- RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR 1000/1100
-NACOS xx-5
-NACOS xx-4
- CHARTPILOT Stand-alone
- NACOS xx-3 (Radar 9xxx AIS Interface needed for the display of AIS targets at Radar 9xxx indicators and MULTIPILOTs in radar mode)
- mixed systems consisting of Radar 9xxx and RADARPILOT 1000
- Radar 9xxx (with Radar 9xxx AIS Interface)
The AIS might not work with SAM Electronics systems/components which are running with older software
versions. For further information, see the Technical Manuals of these systems or the Software Release
Notes.
It is also possible to use the AIS 3410 within systems from other manufacturers which support the IECdefined interfaces.

2.5 AIS 3410 in NACOS xx-3 Systems (Radar 9xxx and CHARTPILOT)
2 Overview
Fig. 2-4 AIS 3410 in NACOS xx-3 systems
The AIS 3410 is connected to the CHARTPILOT via Ethernet LAN.
The ship’s sensors are connected to the Ship’s Interface. The sensor data are transferred to the AIS, to
the CHARTPILOT and to other radars or MULTIPILOTs.
If two Ship’s Interfaces are existing because of redundancy purposes, the ship’s sensor output(s) of both
Ship’s Interfaces must be connected to the Electronics Unit.
Without the Radar 9xxx AIS Interface it is not possible to display the AIS data at the Radar 9xxx or at the
MULTIPILOT 91x0 in radar mode. One interface is sufficient for the complete system, regardless of the
number of Radars 9xxx/MULTIPILOTs.
NOTE:
If the AIS Electronics Unit receives the ship’s sensor data from Ship’s Interface, the output interfaces of
the Ship’s Interface must be configured as follows:
- Select "IEC 61162-1 edition 3, 04/2007 (NMEA0183 version 3.01)" as driver
- Set a repetition interval of 1 s for the following telegrams:
-GLL

Technical Manual
Fig. 2-5 AIS 3410 in Radar 9xxx systems with RADARPILOT 1000/1100
The AIS 3410 is connected to the CHARTPILOT via Ethernet LAN and to the Analog Interface of the
RADARPILOT 1000/1100. The RADARPILOT 1000/1100 transfers the AIS data via CAN1, so that the
data can be displayed also at the Radar 9xxx (or at a MULTPILOT 91x0). It is not necessary to install
the Radar 9xxx AIS Interface. If the RADARPILOT 1000/1100 is connected via LAN instead of Primary
Display Port, the AIS data is not available on CAN1 for the Radar 9xxx.
The ship’s sensors are connected to the Ship’s Interface. The sensor data are transferred to the AIS, to
the CHARTPILOT and to a MULTIPILOT.
NOTE:
If the AIS Electronics Unit receives the ship’s sensor data from Ship’s Interface, the output interfaces of
the Ship’s Interface must be configured as follows:
- Select "IEC 61162-1 edition 3, 04/2000 (NMEA0183 version 3.01)" as driver
- Set a repetition interval of 1 s for the following telegrams:

3.1 General Recommendations
3.1.1 Cables
Cable types, cable data, maximum cable length, special instructions for cable laying and connection
details are defined in the Cabling Documents of the corresponding equipment (consisting of schematic
diagram, remarks, cable list and connection diagram).
Interface connections should be discussed and agreed with SAM Electronics
In order to ensure proper functioning of the equipment, the cable types should be selected according to
the cable lists.
In general, the following points must be taken into account:
-For the cables inside the units (cabinets), an extra length of 1 metre is necessary at each end. If
the height of the unit exceeds 0.5 metre, an extension by 1 m plus the height of the cabinet is neces
sary.
- All cables should be kept as short as possible, especially coaxial cables to minimize attenuation of
signal.
In order to fulfil all abovementioned requirements, install cables in two steps:
Install cables and leave extra length of 1 metre or more as described above
Cut cables to correct length in order to reach its terminal, but do not leave extra lengths furled
inside or outside the cabinet
-The cables must be marked by the electrician at both ends with the cable numbers corresponding
to the SAM Electronics cabling documents.
- Where necessary, particular cable glands - marked with letters and/or numbers - are assigned to
the cables.
The identification letters and numbers are stated in the connection diagrams; they are either fixed to
the unit or can be seen from the outline drawings (...BZ or ...MB).
- All connectors installed outdoors (e.g. on coaxial cables) should be waterproof by design to protect
against water penetration into the cable.
- Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away
from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°). Coaxial cables
should not have any to sharp bends, which may lead to a change in the characteristic impedance of
the cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the cable’s outside diameter.
-
- It must be ensured that all cables - including their screens - are passed into the units in contin-
uous lengths and are not terminated before reaching the destination equipment.
-With multicore cables, it is useful to strip down and lace the single wires according to the terminal
sequence.
- Existing cable grippers in the units must be used.
- All cable connections must be carefully checked after completion of the cable work and all cable
screens must be grounded via the shortest possible connections - if not stated otherwise in the
Cabling Documents/Connection Diagram.

3.1 General Recommendations
AIS 3410, Electronics Unit
- All cables must be secured by means of suitable clamps (pull-relief) before entering the units.
- It must be ensured that cables do not block any moving parts within a unit.
- Power leads must be protected by "slow-blow" fuses according to their cross section.
- In the case of a unit whose cable inlet consists of a hole with brackets attached on the inside
and outside, the cable must be dressed as shown in
Figure 3-1.

3.1.2 Electronics Units
Dimensions, weights, spaces required for service and maintenance and special installation instructions
are stated in the outline drawings and installation drawings of the corresponding unit. In general, the
following points also apply:
- The useful life of the components of all Electronics Units (Pulse Generators, Transceivers etc.)
generally decreases with increasing ambient temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such
units in air-conditioned rooms. If there are no such facilities - e.g. deckhouse or space near or below
the water line - these rooms must at least be dry, adequately ventilated and kept at a suitable
temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensation inside these units.
- With most Electronics Units, cooling takes place via the surface of the casing.
The cooling must not be impaired by partial covering of the unit as a result of insulation (if any) of
the room (the wall on which the casing is mounted), or by installation of the unit in a confined
cabinet.
Furthermore, the distance from the ceiling and the floor or from a unit situated underneath must be
at least 300
mm.
- For service purposes, a power socket (AC 220/230 V) and adequate lighting are necessary in the
vicinity of each Electronics Unit.
- In the area of the wheel house, the distance of each Electronics Unit from the magnetic
standard compass or the magnetic steering compass
must not be less than the permitted
magnetic protection distance.

3 Installation Recommendations
3.2 Specific Recommendations
AIS 3410, Electronics Unit
This distance is measured from the centre of the magnetic system of the compass to the nearest
point on the corresponding unit concerned.
- Units which are to be used on the bridge wing must be installed inside the "wing control console" protected against the weather - if they do not at least correspond to the enclosure type IP 56. In
order to avoid misting of the viewing screen, 25 ... 50
W console-heating (power depending on the
volume) is recommended.
- When selecting the site of a unit, the maximum cable lengths have to be considered according to
the notes in the cabling documents (remarks, cable list).
-The accessibility for maintenance and service (stated in the outline drawings or installation draw-
ings) must be considered.
- The impairment of a digital read-out or a display screen by direct light from lamps or the sun must
be avoided. Rear windows must be blacked out by means of roller blinds or Venetian blinds.
- Disturbing reflections on the screen of a display caused by pilot lamps and illuminated signs must
be prevented by suitable measures (screening or relocating).
- When a unit is being installed, the base, floor or bulkhead must be checked to ensure that it is
flat in order to avoid twisting of the unit when the fixing screws are tightened, because such twisting
would impair mechanical functions. Any unevenness should be compensated for by means of
spacing-washers.
Technical Manual
-The grounding screws of the units must be connected to the body of the ship (ground); the wire
used should have a cross sectional area of at least 6 mm.
Aboard fibreglass (GRP) vessels, a "grounding network" with a high conductance - taking into
consideration the working frequencies of the other equipment - must be provided in order to achieve
satisfactory EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).
- In the interests of safety during maintaining or servicing, the shipyard should provide a common
isolating switch or circuit breaker (in conjunction with a contactor, if necessary) for all intercon
nected equipment.
- Transportation damage, even if apparently insignificant at first glance, must immediately be examined and be reported to the freight carrier. The moment of setting-to-work of the equipment is too
late, not only for reporting the damage but also for the supply of replacements.
- The equipment should never be switched on by the electricians who did the installation work
- not even just for a moment - never!
This is a job for the authorised SAM Electronics service engineer.
- After hand-over of the equipment in good operating condition to the customer, the Installation
Report (Annex of the Warranty Certificate) should be filled in completely and then forwarded to SAM
Electronics, Hamburg, as proof of such fulfilment. It is important that these requirements be fulfilled
in order to avoid the risk of losing the warranty.

Recommendations Concerning the Installation of the VHF Antenna
AIS 3410, Electronics Unit
Technical Manual
Fig. 3-3 Positioning of the VHF Antenna
The digital signals of the AIS may occur as a periodic clicking sound on a ship’s radiotelephone. This
effect may become stronger when the VHF antenna of the AIS is located near the VHF radiotelephone
antenna and when the radiotelephone is operating on channels near the AIS operating channels (for
example channels 27, 28, 86).
The antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as unobstructed as possible, with a
minimum of 2
m in the horizontal direction from any structures made of conductive materials. The
antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction. The objective for the VHF antenna
is that it should "see" the horizon freely through 360°.
The VHF antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power energy sources such as
the radar scanner and other transmitting radio antennas, preferably at least 3
m away from and out of the
transmitting beam.
Ideally there should not be more than one antenna on the same level. The AIS VHF antenna should be
mounted directly above or below the ship’s primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal sepa
ration and with a minimum of 2 m vertical separation. If it is located on the same level as other antennas,
the distance apart should be at least 10
m.
For further information, see Figure on page 82.
