It is an autonomous and continuous information reporting system, operating in the VHF maritime mobile band. It allows AIS equipped vessels to automatically and dynamically exchange and display information with similarly equipped vessels and shore based traffi c stations. Fig. 1.1 The AI50 uses a sophisticated automatic digital time sharing technology which allows a large number of similarly equipped vessels within VHF range of each other, to time share the same radio channel without interference. This enables the automatic exchange of static information like; MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identifi er) Number, Vessel’s Name, Call Sign and Type. Also dynamic data like; Position, Course, Distance and more, from ship to ship, and from ship to shore based traffi c stations. The advantages of the AI50 are: Increased awareness of the current shipping situation within your VHF range through the exchange of data between vessels. Improving traffi c management in busy shipping lanes through exchanging information between vessels and shore based traffi c stations. • • Fig. 1.1 - AI50 Class B Transceiver AIS Class B Transceiver 10 Reporting information automatically in shipping areas where it is mandatory. WARNING As with all electronic navigational equipment, it is only an aid to navigation and should not be used as a substitute for good seamanship. Remember - Maritime law requires that you keep a good lookout at all times. The position of a vessel on the screen is the position of the most recent transmission and may not be the current position. 1.2 About this manual The manual combines operating and installation information for the AI50. Operation is sub-divided into main working categories for easy reference. 1.3 SimNet/NMEA2000 Network System SimNet is Simrad’s proprietary high speed data bus network complete with NMEA2000. It provides intelligent sharing of data and control information between a wide range of marine electro…
