PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
2-5
(2) AIS transponder installation
Installation of the AIS transponder requires welding. In case of new shipbuilding, the installation can be
performed under its construction. (Refer to PAGE 3-1 in order to install). On existing ships, the AIS
transponder should be installed during periodical inspection because of welding. However, the
installation might be performed during navigation or at the quay within a short period of time. Here are
some countermeasures. (See below)
①
The pole for installation must be
adjusted according to the
handrail’s height.
② Refer to page 3-6 and fix the AIS
transponder to the pole by
exclusive bands.
③
The pole for installation is fixed by
two or more stainless bands or
welded to the handrail and the
deck. (In case of stainless bands
and there is a space between the
handrail and the pole, insert a
spacer for stabilization.)
④
To run wires through a deck or a
wall, mount a cable grand and it
should be welded).
⑤ In case AIS is installed to the mast,
it is necessary to consider carefully
because the mast doesn’t have
enough space and its handrail is
low generally.
