11.7 LED Indicators
ON This is a green LED which indicates, when lit, that power has been connected correctly to the
transponder.
Status This is a green LED which indicates, when lit, that the transponder hardware has been
configured, the operating software is present, the CPU has booted up, the application software is
running and everything is correct.
RX This is a green LED which indicates when flashing that the CSB200-S is receiving data from
other AIS transponders and is outputting this data as a VDM NMEA sentence on the output data
ports. If the Green LED is on continuously the unit has not been programmed with its personalised
data, it will still send received data to the output port but will not transmit.
TX This is a red LED which flashes momentarily when the CSB200-S transmits its own AIS data.
This is a yellow LED which indicates when lit that the transmitter is prevented from
transmitting. Reasons for this include the following:
●
The transponder’s internal GPS receiver is not operating or is not yet ready
●
The transponder was unable to transmit an AIS message due to the channel being already
occupied,
e.g. by transmissions from other AIS transponders, or the TX Off function is in
operation
Error This is a red LED which indicates when lit, one of the following status conditions is possible:
●
Transmitter lockout timer (1 second maximum) has operated
●
GPS is unable to gain lock after 30 minutes
●
VHF antenna VSWR is out of range
●
Power Supply is out of range
●
Background noise level is above the threshold level (-77dBm)
TX Off This is a blue LED which indicates that the remote TX Off switch has been operated to
manually stop the CSB200-S transmitting data.
