Operation with an ERS Device
The general operation of the product detailed in Section 2 described the Basic configuration
of the product, which is just the AIS Transceiver installed on the vessel.
The other two configurations both use a device known as the ERS1 to act as a mechanism
for entering data into the transceiver and the transceiver reporting this to the control
centre, automatically.
The ERS1 device is a rugged mobile phone with a Bluetooth connection directly to the
transceiver. It also uses mobile data to connect to the control centre, as needed. Figure 2
shows the ERS1 device.

To use the ERS1, a user account name and password must have been set up when the VMS-
100 and ERS1 were installed on the vessel. If this is not the case, then contact must be made
with an authorised support contact. If the username or password have been lost or
forgotten, then a support contact must again be identified to reset this.
The ERS1 can be recharged by connecting the adapter cable provided into the USB port on
the front of the transceiver as shown below.
