What is AIS?
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a Very High Frequency
(VHF) radio broadcasting system that transfers packets of data
over the VHF data link (VDL) and enables AIS equipped vessels and
shore-based stations to exchange identification information and
navigational data. Ships with AIS transponders continually transmit
their ID, position, course, speed and other data to all nearby ships
and shore stations. Such information can aid greatly in situational
awareness and provide a means to assist in collision avoidance.
AIS equipment is standardized by ITU, IEC, IALA and IMO and is subject to approval by a certification body. The following AIS devices
have been developed for variant applications.
• AIS Class A:
Mandated by the IMO for vessels of 300 gross tonnages and upwards engaged on international voyages, cargo ships of 500 gross
tonnages and upwards, as well as passenger ships. It transmits typically on 12.5 watt output power.
• AIS Class B:
Provides limited functionality and is intended for non-SOLAS commercial vessels and recreational vessels. It transmits typically on 2
watt output power.
8 |
• AIS Receiver:
Only receives AIS signal and does not have transmitter to send out
AIS signal. Suitable for recreational vessels that do not want to send
out its vessel information.
• AIS Base Station:
Is provided by aids-to-navigation authorities to enable the ship to
shore / shore to ship transmission of information. Networked AIS
Base Stations can assist in providing overall maritime domain awareness.
What is AIS? | V5035 Operator and Installation Manual
• AIS AtoN (Aids to Navigation):
Provides an opportunity to transmit position and status of buoys
and lights through the same VDL, which can then show up on AISready devices within the range.
• AIS SART:
Search and Rescue Transmitter using AIS can be used to assist in
determining the location of a vessel in distress. It is typically used on
life rafts.
• AIS on Search and Rescue (SAR) Aircraft:
Used on airplanes and helicopters to assist search and rescue operation.

System overview
Product description
The SIMRAD V5035 is a new generation AIS Class A transponder
fully compliance with IMO, IEC, and ITU international standards. It
provides a compact single box solution, easy to install and operate.
The unit is designed with advanced technology which sets a new
standard for quality, performance, and value. It is an excellent choice
for SOLAS vessels, commercial vessels, and professional vessels.
The V5035 consists of a transceiver radio unit, an integrated GPS receiver, a controller unit, and a color 3.5” LCD display with menu keypads. The radio has three receivers -- two TDMA receivers and one
DSC receiver. The transmitter alternates its transmission between
the two operating TDMA. The controller unit creates and schedules
data packets (containing dynamic, static and voyage related data)
for transmission based on the IMO performance standard for AIS.
The V5035 can be connected to the ship’s sensors as required by
the IALA guidelines through an external junction box (supplied in
the package). The unit can also interface external navigation and
presentation systems that support IEC 61162-1 related sentences. It
is also capable for connection to Long Range system like Inmarsat C.
The V5035 supports both IMO and Inland AIS which is configurable
by the software.
The color LCD display and menu keypads provide an intuitive
graphical user-friendly interface to the system. It can display the
location of other vessels, aids to navigation and search and rescue
vessels. The AIS transmit and receive status are shown on the screen
which helps user to know the working status of the unit easily. The
LCD and keypad can also be used to send and receive messages,
perform configuration as well as supervise the systems status.

VHF antenna installation
The quality and positioning of the antenna are the most important
factors dictating AIS performance. It is recommended that a VHF
antenna with omni directional vertical polarization be specifically
tuned for AIS operation band. Since the range of VHF signals is
largely decided by line of sight distance, the VHF antenna should
be placed as high as possible and at least 5 meters away from any
constructions made of conductive materials.
To avoid interference, the VHF antenna location should be placed
accordingly as diagram below:
Ensure a free 360° horizon with
a vertical observation of 5°.
5°
Ensure the GPS antenna is not
on the transmitting beam with
other high power transmitting
antenna.
The recommended
vertical distance

VHF/GPS antenna locations
GPS antenna installation
The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of
the sky, so that it may access the horizon freely with 360° degrees,
with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as
illustrated below.

GPS antenna location
Enter the GPS antenna location data in “SHIP SETTING” after the
installation.
Mounting SIMRAD V5035
Use the following guidelines to check the installation location for
your AIS transponder:
• The AIS transponder should be mounted in a location that is acces-
sible and readable to user at all time.
• The transponder should be installed in a protected environment
away from direct rain and water contact.
• The transponder is designed to operate in an environment with 15°C
~ 55°C temperature. Environments with excessive heat may cause
damages to the transponder.
• The transponder should not be installed near flammable or hazard-
ous environments.
• The AIS transponder should be installed at least 0.5 m away from
magnetic compasses.

Vessel power supply requirement
Connect to the ship’s power source, ideally an uninterrupted power
supply (UPS), through a 2-pole switched fused supply to allow
isolation for servicing. Power requirement is 12-24 V DC typical 5 A
minimum. Required conductor area, cable length 0-10 m is 1.5 mm2
ø minimum.
¼ Note: The Class A power supply requirement should comply with
IMO guidelines for the class of vessel concerned. National authorities and classification societies may have their own power supply
requirements; these should also be considered.
¼ Note: Some boats require frame ground connection of all electronic
devices on the ship frame.
