Configuring your CSB200-S 

Please follow these steps to configure your CSB200-S AIS Transponder correctly: 

1.

 

Select the 

Configuration 

page to configure the AIS vessel data that will be transmitted by your 

CSB200-S. 

2.

 

Enter your vessel’s name (20 characters maximum), call sign (optional, 7 characters maximum) 
and MMSI number. An MMSI number is required for the CSB200-S to operate. The MMSI number 
configured in  your  CSB200-S  should be the same as that configured in any other radio 
equipment on board. If you do not have an MMSI number contact the relevant authority in your 
country for more information. 

CAUTION:

 Once programmed, the MMSI number 

cannot

 be changed by the end user. 

If  the MMSI number needs to be changed in any way,  the unit must be returned to 
COMAR SYSTEMS or one of our authorised dealers 

3.

 

Select the vessel type most appropriate to your vessel from the drop down list.  

4.

 

Enter the dimensions of your vessel and the location of the GPS antenna in the 

Ship’s 

Dimensions and GPS Antenna Location 

box. The dimensions should be entered in metres and 

rounded up to the nearest whole metre (1 foot is approximately 0.3 metres

2

). 

5.

 

Save the configuration to your CSB200-S by clicking the 

Write Configuration

 button at the top 

right of the configuration page. Please read the warning message and check the MMSI number 
is correct before clicking the programme button.  

6.

 

Your CSB200-S is now fully configured and ready for use.

Important information for US Customers: 

CAUTION:

  There are specific laws in the United States of America  (US)  regarding the 

configuration of AIS Class ‘B’ transponders. If you are a US resident and intend to use your 
CSB200-S in US waters, you should make sure that your retailer has configured your product 
prior to supplying it to you. If your CSB200-S has not been pre-configured please contact 
your dealer for details of how to have it configured. 

WARNING:

 It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) 

to input an MMSI number that has not been properly assigned to the end user, or to otherwise 
input any inaccurate data in this device.
