DSC (Digital Selective Calling)

Digital Selective Calling oers signicant safety and convenience
advantages over older VHF radios without this functionality.

Preface | Installation Manual

• A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before DSC

functions can be used.

• Many countries do not have radio repeaters that support DSC
message relaying. However DSC can still be useful for direct ship­to- ship communication, where the other vessel is also equipped
with a DSC capable radio.

• DSC distress calls generated by this radio are limited to the same
range restrictions that apply to regular VHF transmissions. The
vessel sending a distress can only rely upon DSC if within range
of a GMDSS Coast Radio Station. Typical VHF range may be about
20NM, though this varies greatly depending upon installation,
antenna type, meteorological conditions, etc.

ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identication
System)

• ATIS is required for vessels making VHF transmissions whilst on the

inland waterways of the Regional Arrangement Concerning the
Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (RAINWAT) signatory
countries.

• RAINWAT is an agreement to implement common principles
and rules for the safe carriage of people and goods on Inland
Waterways.

• The signatory countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, the
Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Moldova,
Montenegro, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak
Republic and Switzerland.

• Where a VHF is required on the inland waterways of the signatory
countries, this must be capable of ATIS transmissions, and have the
feature activated.

• The use of ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland
waterways covered by the Basel Agreement.

MMSI and ATIS ID

The user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) is a unique nine digit
number. It is used on marine transceivers that are capable of using
DSC (Digital Selective Calling).

• An MMSI remains with a vessel, even if the vessel is sold on.

• Your vessel MMSI must be assigned to you by an approved

authority. It is illegal to use a self-assigned (made up) MMSI
number.

• A Group Call ID begins with ‘0’ followed by 8 numeric digits
(0xxxxxxxx).

Preface | Installation Manual

| 11

• A Coast Station MMSI begins with 00 followed by 7 numeric digits

(00xxxxxxx).

• By law, you are not able to change your MMSI once it is entered
into the radio. This is why there is a conrmation screen when
entering the MMSI. If you need to have the MMSI in the radio
changed, the radio must be taken back to your Simrad or B&G
dealer.

• An ATIS ID is only required in certain EU countries when navigating
some inland waterways. It is usually a dierent number to your
MMSI. Your ATIS ID must be assigned to you by an approved
authority.

AIS CLASS-B Safety Warning (NRS-2 only)

⚠Warning: The AIS transceiver in the NRS-2 Blackbox is an aid

to navigation and must not be relied upon to provide accurate
navigation information. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant
human lookouts and other navigation aids such as RADAR.
Also, take note that not all vessels will have an AIS transceiver
turned on, or installed. The performance of the transceiver may
be seriously impaired if not installed as instructed in the user
manual, or due to other factors such as weather and or nearby
transmitting devices.

12 |

Important information for US customers

There are specic laws in the USA regarding the conguration of AIS
class B transceivers. If you are a US resident and intend to use your
AIS class B transceiver in US waters, you should make sure that your
retailer has congured your product prior to supplying it to you. If
your AIS transceiver has not been pre-congured, please contact your
dealer for details of how to have it congured

S.A.M.E. Code

The NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio Service (NWR) works in
conjunction with the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to issue weather
alerts for specic geographic areas or weather warnings. It uses a
digital encoding system known as Specic Area Message Encoding
(SAME) to broadcast these alerts.

Each transmitter in the NWR network is identied with a unique
6-digit SAME code. Refer to: https://www.weather.gov/nwr/counties.

AIS menu (NRS-2 only)

⚠Warning: Valid GPS data must be entered into this radio before

the AIS functions can be used. The plotter PPI function will not
display targets accurately with incorrect GPS data.

⚠Warning: Take note that not all vessels will have an AIS

transceiver installed or turned on, so will NOT be taken into
consideration for Collision Avoidance.

⚠Warning: Not all vessels transmit AIS information and therefore

will be displayed or listed in the following AIS screens.

About AIS

The marine Automatic Identication System (AIS) is a location and
vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with
AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their
position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity
with similarly equipped vessels.

Position is derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and
communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF)
digital transmissions.

The NRS-2 radio contains an AIS Class-B CSTDMA transceiver. The
AIS function requires a separate VHF antenna to be installed and
connected to the AIS antenna socket on the NRS-2 blackbox radio.

For installation details, refer to “Wiring diagram” on page 83.

AIS receiver function

Providing that other vessels with AIS transceivers installed are within
radio range of your vessel, you should see their details appear on the
AIS plotter screen. These details are also repeated on the NMEA ports
for display on a compatible MFD. Specic details of how to congure
your MFD to make use of the AIS receiver features are provided in
your MFD manual. If you are using charting software running on a PC,
refer to the instructions provided with your chart-plotting software for
details of how to congure it to display AIS information.

Mounting guidelines

Choose the mounting location carefully, ensuring there are no hidden
electrical wires or other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut.

Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken
the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualied boat builder, or
marine electronics installer.

¼ Note: If more than one VHF antenna is installed, ensure

adequate separation between antennas to prevent antenna
cross-talk. This may vary between installations and should be
tested before mounting locations are conrmed. Mount units
at least 50 cm (1.5 ft) away from a compass to avoid creating
magnetic deviation of the compass.

Don’ts:

• Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold,

where it might be submerged, or where it will interfere with the
operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.

• Do not install in a hazardous or ammable environment.

Do’s:

• Mount to surface areas that are clean with no dirt, old paint, nor

debris.

• Mount units at least 1 m (3 ft) away from the VHF antenna.

Mounting the Blackbox

¼ Notes: Allow easy access to the Blackbox for connection to the

12 V DC power supply, the antenna(s), and additional wiring.

connectors.

• Do not run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/
high current carrying cables or high frequency signal cables.

• Do not run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems.

• Do not run cables over sharp edges or burrs.

Do’s:

• Make drip and service loops.

• Use cable-tie on all cables to keep them secure.

• Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or

shortening the cables. Extending cables should be done with
suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink. Keep joins as
high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.

• Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and
unplugging of cables.

• Connect the radio to a 12 V DC, negative ground power supply.

⚠Warning: All wiring on the radio should be done with the

vessel power supply turned o. While the radio power is polarity
protected, the fuse will blow if the connection is made the
wrong way round.

⚠Warning: All cables provided with the system is designed to

ensure the systems operates as designed under the stated
operating conditions. Ensure that if any wiring is extended, the
additional cabling is suitable to meet the system operating
requirements.

⚠Warning: A Halier cable is not supplied. If using the Hailer/Fog

You can easily check if a repeater is in range:
select a Duplex channel, press PTT for a short time
and then listen for a short burst/crack over the
speaker shortly after releasing the PTT. If no burst,
then there is no repeater in range.

Adjust squelch so that noise just clears.
