Page: 32 / 68

3.1 AIS650 Class B transceiver unit 3.2 Static data requirement
The AIS transceiver needs to be correctly programmed with the
following vessel data (static data) before use:
• Vessel Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number
• Vessel name
• Vessel call sign
• Vessel dimensions including AIS GPS antenna location
• Vessel type
A MMSI number comprises 9 digits, and a full, valid 9 digit value
must be entered in order to be accepted during setup. Any number
that does not meet these criteria will not be accepted by the system.
All other fields (i.e. vessel type, name etc.) are optional.
If your vessel already has an MMSI number (used for a VHF DSC
radio) then the same MMSI number must be used to program the
transceiver.
If a valid MMSI number is not entered, the device will enter Silent
Mode and will not transmit. However, it will still operate as a receiver.
Important: In the United States of America, the MMSI and
Static Data must be entered only by a Raymarine dealer or
other appropriately qualified installer of marine communications
equipment on board vessels.The user is NOT authorized to do
this.
In Europe and other parts of the world outside of the United States
of America, the MMSI and Static Data can be set up by the user.
For further details, refer to the requirements for the area in which
you are operating.
