Chart plotter
To display received AIS position reports as other vessels on your
chart plotter, you will need to connect your AIS receiver to your chart
plotter. Please refer to the user manual supplied with your chart
plotter for details of how to connect and configure your chart plotter
for use with AIS devices. For general guidance your chart plotter
should be configured to accept NMEA data at 38400 baud
(sometimes referred to as 'NMEA HS' in the plotter configuration
menu). You may also need to enable the display of AIS targets in
the chart options.
Connection to a PC
If you choose to use a PC with suitable charting software to display
received AIS messages as other vessels, this can be accomplished
by connecting the USB connector directly to the PC. Your PC may
require USB software drivers to connect to the AIS receiver and
these can be found on the CD included with the product.
3.2 Installation procedures
Before beginning installation of your AIS receiver, please ensure
you have the necessary additional items as detailed in section 3.1.
It is strongly recommended that you read all of the instructions in
this manual prior to installation.
If after reading this manual you are unsure about any element of the
installation process please contact your dealer for advice.
The following sections explain the installation process step by step
for each of the main elements of the system.
Step 1 - Installing the AIS receiver
Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for
your AIS receiver:
• The AIS receiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least
0.5m from a compass.
• There should be adequate space around the AIS receiver for
routing of cables. See Figure 5 for details of the AIS receiver
dimensions.
• The ambient temperature around the AIS receiver should be
maintained between -10°C and +55°C.
• The AIS receiver should not be located in a flammable or
hazardous atmosphere such as in an engine room or near to fuel
tanks.
• The AIS receiver is not designed to be waterproof and it is
therefore not recommended that the AIS receiver be subjected to
spray or submersion.
