The Seatec AIS units are equipped with virtual reception LEDs. They start blinking  

 

when a class A or B AIS signal has been received.

These signals contain more information than Class B signals.

 

Class B: These signals are normally transmitted by sport boats and contain  

 

 

     

  basic information about the boat. 

 

You will find a detailed list of the class A and B signals in chapter 3.1.1 

 

 

Hint:  Use the LED´s to check the function of the AIS receiver.
