7. Read the warning message carefully and proceed only if the MMSI number is correct.
8. Should you make a mistake or need to change anything in the future, all configurations and settings, except the
MMSI, can be changed by running proAIS2 and following this procedure again
9. Configuration of the AIS Class B Transponder is now complete
*Note:
For security reasons the MMSI can only be programmed once. Make sure you enter the correct
number and double check when ProAIS2 warns you regarding MMSI programming. The MMSI can
only be changed by returning the unit to your dealer.
5. Operation
Once installed and configured, correct operation of the AIS transponder should be verified as follows:
1. After turning ON the 12v/24v supply to the AIT3000 and the initial flash of the four transponder LED lights, ensure
that the Yellow “
Time Out
” LED flashes while the AIT3000 waits to receive its first GPS fix. Then the Yellow
“
Time Out
” LED will stay ON until the AIT3000 makes its first AIS transmission < 3 minutes.
2.
As soon as the AIT3000 makes its first AIS transmission the Yellow “
Time Out
” LED will go out and the Green
“
Power
” LED will come ON. This is the normal, everything is OK, indication and as long as the Green “
Power
”
LED is ON, you can be confident that the AIT3000 is working correctly and transmitting your position.
3.
If the RED “
Status
” LED comes on then a serious problem has occurred with either the supply voltage or the
transmission through the VHF antenna.
4.
If the Yellow “
Time Out
” LED illuminates then something has stopped the AIT3000 from transmitting, such as
another AIS transponder stealing its time slot or a temporary loss of GPS signal. This should only happen
occasionally and normal operation should quickly be resumed. If the Yell
ow “Time Out” LED regularly comes on
or flashes for long periods, then this may indicate a problem with the GPS antenna.
5. The proAIS2 program can be used to diagnose problems and has a very good Diagnostics page that in
conjunction with the GPS Status page provides a good indication of how the AIT3000 is performing.
