Description

How to test the s1000 ais sart.

The AIS SART should be tested annually to confirm correct operation. In order to maximise the available battery capacity it is not recommended to test the AIS SART more frequently. Carry out the following steps to test the AIS SART:

• Remove the AIS SART from the bracket or bag and move to an outdoor location with a clear view of the sky. Do not hold the AIS SART in the location marked over the internal GPS antenna.
• Press and hold the ‘Test’ button for three seconds until the indicator starts flashing. The test is now active and the AIS SART will attempt to obtain a GPS position fix for five minutes.
• The outcome of the test is indicated as shown in Figure 11. During the test AIS messages are transmitted and will be received by all nearby vessels. Refer to section 4.5 for further information on display of AIS SART position and messages on other equipment.
• If a pass is not indicated by the end of the test period then the AIS SART should be relocated and the test repeated.
• If battery expiry is indicated please contact your dealer to arrange for battery replacement. Section 5 provides further details on battery replacement.

The AIS SART test can be cancelled at any time by pressing and holding the ‘Test’ button for three seconds. The indicator will extinguish when the test has been cancelled.

KEY FEATURES

An AIS SART (Search and rescue transponder) is a mandatory fit for live saving apparatus on all vessels over 300GRT. Traditional technology used a radar type device. However, new legislation allow the use of an AIS SART with associated performance and cost benefits. AIS SARTs positively identify the casualty and give a regular position update. A Class A MKD, ECDIS or plotter will then display this as a graphic. The S1000 has full IMO compliance and approval as an AIS SART (Wheel Marked) which once activated, will display a target on any Class A or B transponder system or on an AIS receiver. As such it greatly aids recovery of the casualty or liferaft.

SART alarms like our AIS Lifeguard are also activated by the signal from these devices. The S1000 utilises specialist VHF antenna technology to offer exceptional range (typically up to 10NM) and has a battery life of 96 hours under operation. It comes with a storage bag and bracket mount and has a 1m telescopic pole integrated so it can be used in a liferaft. The 50 channel GPS built in within the device offers a very fast time to first fix (typically under 40 seconds). Thereafter it is able to transmit position information 8 times per minute.

The SART shows as a SART target on any AIS system and a safety message (SART ACTIVE) is sent every 4 minutes. The S1000 SART also offers considerable safety benefits for leisure users and should be part of any safety pack for coastal or ocean sailing.

AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS)

What is AIS?

Automatic Identification System (AIS)  is the name given to an international maritime communications protocol developed back in the late 90s. AIS is now one of the most widely used and significant navigation safety technologies since the introduction of radar. The system was originally developed as a collision avoidance tool to enable commercial vessels to ‘see’ each other more clearly in all conditions and improve the helmsman’s information about his surrounding environment.

AIS uses GPS and VHF radio technologies to automatically communicate between vessels allowing vessel identity, position, course and speed (and other data) to be shared to other AIS users within range. These could be vessels, aircraft, coast stations or satellites. A single AIS transmission (message) can contain up to 27 pieces of information and can be used to carry numerous different types of data.

AIS forms an important part of a toolbox of aids to navigation. Information received via AIS can supplement and improve radar information and therefore is a valuable aid to assist in collision avoidance. It’s affordable, easy to install and also easier to interpret for leisure users compared to small radar systems. An AIS transponder is a mandatory fit on all vessels greater than 300 tonnes or carrying 12 or more passengers.

Benefits of AIS

CPA and TCPA

Most navigation system can calculate the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) of every AIS target and also the Time to CPA (TCPA). The navigation system can trigger an audible and visual alarm when dangerous targets are detected.

See around corners

Useful to see around corners vessels, AtoNs, rescue Craft, etc. AIS is a low power and low cost alternative to radar for small boats.

Identification

Receive MMSI number, vessel name and boat type of all AIS equipped vessels. Useful to find any of your friends’ boats.

Collision Avoidance

Receive clear and regular position reports of all AIS equipped vessels in your area. You can identify and make a DSC radio call to a dangerous vessel using their MMSI number.

Emergency services and port authorities are using AIS for surveillance, safety with quick and easy vessel identification. Also, your friends and family can use online AIS services to track your trip/race from home.

Types of AIS

Digital Yacht’s extensive range of AIS products provides solutions for every type of boat, from an open cockpit RIB to a SOLAS Super Tanker. An AIS which sends and receives data is known as a  transceiver (or often called a transponder) . There are also simple devices called  AIS receivers  which pick up transmissions and decode for displaying on a compatible chart plotter or PC based navigation system – or even an iPad or tablet.

TRANSPONDERS

• Class B AIS Transponder
• Class B+ 5W AIS Transponder
• Class A AIS Transponder

Class B AIS Transponder  is for recreational craft installation and is a simplified, lower powered 2W transceiver which is normally a black box and uses a connected chart plotter to display local AIS targets. It transmits every 30 seconds regardless of vessel speed and can’t transmit additional data like destination port.

Class B+ AIS   Transponder  (also called Class B SOTDMA) is a new standard that utilises SOTDMA format transmissions which offer a 5W power output (2.5 x more powerful than a regular Class B), a guaranteed time slot for transmission in busy traffic areas and faster update rates depending upon the speed of the vessel. It’s ideal for ocean sailors requiring the best possible performance and future proof satellite tracking applications, fast power boats and smaller non-mandated commercial vessels.

Class A AIS Transponder  must have a dedicated (and type approved) display to show the location of nearby AIS targets and transmits at 12.5W. Data is sent at up to every 2 seconds depending upon the vessel speed and the display also allows for data to be inputted to the transmission such as vessel destination. A Class A device is normally used on commercial vessels as its Type Approved to IMO specifications.

If you don’t know which AIS transponder or receiver to choose, then you can fill in this questionnaire, which will recommend a model for you.

TYPES OF AIS

• AIS base stations

ATON (Aids To Navigation)  is an AIS transceiver specifically for use on marine infrastructure and buoys to provide real time hazard alerts as well as live monitoring data such as weather, sea and lantern status. ATON transmissions can be displayed on compatible chart plotter and ECDIS systems and allow a buoy or structure to be positively identified as well as the ability to display local wind, tide or metrological data.

AIS SART (Search And Rescue Transmitter)  is a homing beacon designed for use in an emergency. When activated an AIS SART transmits its GPS position using AIS in a special SART message. This message is recognised by the AIS display systems on other vessels (and potentially on shore) as an emergency message and generates an alarm.

An AIS SART can be used to locate a life raft or lifeboat in an emergency situation. Available in vessel versions (SART) or personal versions (PLB) with the difference being size and range. An AIS SART with its position close to the waterline and limited 2W output would typically have a maximum range of 5-6NM. A PLB device would typically have a range of 2-3NM.

AIS base stations  are fixed (non-mobile) stations that port authorities use to monitor and control vessel traffic. Major ports and harbours install these systems to give additional control over local AIS users. These base stations can also control other AIS devices with the ability to turn other AIS devices on or off, reserve time slots for special transmissions, control which time slots mobile AIS devices use and even control the power level of AIS transponders.

Digital Yacht also manufacture many accessories

Such as AIS alarms, interfaces for AIS and Zero-Loss VHF antenna-splitter allowing the VHF antenna to be shared with an AIS receiver/transponder and with a VHF radio.
