AIS TRANSPONDER

3

When the optional MA-500TR/MA-510TR 

CLASS B AIS TRANSPON-

DER

 is connected to your transceiver, an individual DSC call can 

be transmitted to a selected AIS target, without needing to enter 
the target’s MMSI code. In this case, the call type is automatically 
set to Routine. See page 7 for connecting instructions.

To ensure correct operation of the DSC function, make 

sure you correctly set the CH70 SQL LEVEL. See (

¤5

) of 

the HM-195 instruction manual. 

Step 1: Transponder’s operation

This instruction is for the MA-500TR. See the MA-510TR 

Instruction manual for the MA-510TR’s step.

 

q

 Select a desired AIS target on the plotter, target list or dan-
ger list display.

  •  You can also go to the next step whenever the detail screen of 

the AIS target is displayed.

  •  Make sure the transceiver is in the normal operating mode. Other-

wise, you cannot make an individual DSC call using the transponder.

 

w

 Push [DSC] to display the voice channel selection screen, 
and then push [

Y

] or [

Z

] to select a desired voice channel*.

 

•  Voice channels are already preset into the transponder in recom-

mended order.

 

  * When a coast station is selected in step 

q

, a voice channel will 

be specified by the coast station, therefore you cannot change 
the channel. The transponder will display “Voice Channel is 
specified by the Base station,” in this case.

 

e

 Push [DSC] to transmit an individual DSC call to the AIS 
target.

 

•  If Channel 70 is busy, the transceiver stands by until the channel 

becomes clear.

  •  If the transceiver cannot make the call, the transponder will dis-

play “DSC Transmission FAILED.”
