Class B Marine AIS
General Warnings
All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) units utilise a satellite based system such as the Global Positioning Satellite
(GPS) network or the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) network to determine position.
The accuracy of these networks is variable and is affected by factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are
used to determine a position and how long satellite information has been received for.
It is desirable wherever possible therefore to verify both your vessels AIS derived position data and other vessels AIS derived
position data with visual or radar based observations.
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.5m or greater for 0.3° deviation.
In accordance with a policy of continual development and product improvement the TRANSAS AIS CLASS B hardware and
software may be upgraded from time to time and future versions of the TRANSAS AIS CLASS B may therefore not correspond
exactly with this manual.
When necessary upgrades to the product will be accompanied by updates or addenda to this manual.
Please take time to read this manual carefully and to understand its contents fully so that you can install and operate your AIS
system correctly.

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•

RF Emissions Notice
Caution: The TRANSAS AIS CLASS B Class B AIS transponder generates and radiates radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This equipment must be installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this
handbook. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and / or product malfunction.
Caution: Never operate the transponder unless it is connected to a VHF antenna.
To maximise performance and minimise human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy you must make sure that
the antenna is mounted at least 1.5 meters away from the transponder and is connected to the transponder before power is
