The market for AIS Class B Transponders is complicated by the fact that many vendors have bought in technology under license arrangements from one supplier. This makes it very difficult for smaller companies like ourselves to design in and maintain any kind of competitive edge over the bigger corporations. We would respectfully ask that our parts list, equipment schematics, test instructions and internal photographs be maintained as confidential. And during the approval process, we feel it would also be beneficial to protect the User Manual, Attestation Statements, License authorisation and Operational Description. As a small company it is important to protect our hard work and use of precious resources in preparing these documents. I have today uploaded a later revision of the FCC ID placement document, and have also added our BSH certificate to the test results folder. Please let me know if there is anything else you require for your consideration. Please also accept my thanks for your assistance during this application.

This document remains the property of SevenStar Electronics Limited. The contents are provided solely for the purpose of Type Approval, and shall not be used for any other purpose without written authorisation. ©SevenStar Electronics 2007 3 DOC.287/FT1/1.0 Compliance Our evidence of compliance with the specifications is based on: 1. Design & Construction – the SeaTraceR S.287 is built around the previously-submitted SRT-MTB-PCA circuit board assembly from SRT. A high-quality IP-65 rated enclosure has been used in this instance to provide a professional, robust, water proof unit suitable for use in both the leisure and commercial marine environments (see para. 3) 2. Functional Performance - the PCB assembly SRT-MTB-PCA forms the heart of the unit, and is responsible for all the electrical functionality of the unit. This PCB assembly is procured under a license agreement from Software Radio Technology of the UK, and has already been granted a EU Type Approval certificate by BABT – reference NC/12921, from BSH (Germany) and the USCG. A letter from SRT is attached in the Appendices allowing use of their previous test results, Technical Construction File, waivers and other data in support of this unit’s compliance to the specifications. 3. Environmental performance - the mechanical assembly and external connections of the SevenStar unit are slightly different to those previously submitted on the SRT unit, so the EMC tests, vibration and shock tests, and safety tests have been repeated specifically for this unit. Test reports for these are included in the 'Test Reports' section. We have designed a high-quality professional enclosure, rated to IP-65 standard, which is equally well suited to professional & commercial applications as well as leisure use. 4. Quality Environment - SevenStar operates a Quality System consistent with the requirements of BS EN ISO9001:2000, and is inspected annually. A copy of the Registration Certificate is included in the appendices. SevenStar’s processes and premises are also approved and inspected annually to the Marine Equipment Directive schedules B and D by Bureau Veritas with respect to its GMDSS marine products.

They operate in the marine VHF band, using GPS to provide the location, speed over ground and course over ground information. Class A transponders are mandatory fitment to ‘deep-sea’ and passenger vessels according to the rules referred to as the SOLAS convention. In 2006 an IEC specification was formally released to enable the use of a simplified transponder, applicable to smaller vessels and leisure craft. The specification number is IEC 62287-1; Technical Requirements for Class B AIS Transponders, Part 1, and the product under test has been designed to this specification. The major differences from the Class A units are reduced transmit power and use of simple carrier sense transmit collision avoidance, rather than the self-organising system used in Class A. Only a small number of messages are transmitted, but Class B units can receive all the Class A and Class B message types. Class B AIS is backward compatible with ITU-R M.1371-1. Appendix 9 – Safety Report DOC.S.287/SR/1.1 Page 2 of 14 SPECIFIC PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The SeaTraceR S.827 Class B AIS Transponder has been designed for permanent fit onto leisure or professional vessels.
