1 WHAT IS AIS? The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio broadcasting system that transfers packets of data over the VHF data link (VDL) and enables AIS equipped vessels and shore-based stations to exchange identification information and navigational data. Ships with AIS transponders continually transmit their ID, position, course, speed and other data to all nearby ships and shore stations.
2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.1 Product Description The AMEC CAMINO-701 is a new generation AIS Class A transponder fully compliance with IMO, IEC, and ITU international standards. It provides a compact single box solution, easy to install and operate. The unit is designed with advanced technology which sets a new standard for quality, performance, and value. It is an excellent choice for SOLAS vessels, commercial vessels, and professional vessels.

3 INSTALLATION 3.1 Equipments in the Box The standard supply in the package includes the following items. Please contact your local representative if any item is missing. Description Quantity CAMINO-701 Class A AIS Transponder Junction box U-shaped mounting bracket Knobs for u-shaped mounting brackets 37-pin extension cable 1.8 m Connector: CDS-37P 3-pin power cable 1m Connector: LTW:BB-03RMMS-LC7001 USB to Mini-USB data cable 1.8 m Panel mount stainless bracket and screw M3.
3.3 RF Cable Requirements The following RF cables are recommended to install the CAMINO-701. VHF Antenna Cable Type: 5D-FB or equivalent Connector: SO-239 (Male) GPS Antenna Cable Type: RG58A/U or equivalent Connector: TNC (Male) 3.4 VHF Antenna Installation The quality and positioning of the antenna are the most important factors dictating AIS performance. It is recommended that a VHF antenna with omni directional vertical polarization be specifically tuned for AIS operation band.
3.5 GPS Antenna Installation The GPS antenna must be installed where it has a clear view of the sky, so that it may access the horizon freely with 360° degrees, with a vertical observation of 5 to 90 degrees above the horizon as illustrated below. GPS ANTENNA LOCATION Enter the GPS antenna location data in “SHIP SETTING” after the installation.
3.6 Mounting CAMINO-701 Use the following guidelines to check the installation location for your AIS transponder: The AIS transponder should be mounted in a location that is accessible and readable to user at all time. The transponder should be installed in a protected environment away from direct rain and water contact. The transponder is designed to operate in an environment with 15°C ~ 55°C temperature. Environments with excessive heat may cause damages to the transponder.
Panel Mounting (1) 1. Line up the mounting template on control panel to sketch an outline for the cutting area. 2. Using a jigsaw carefully cut along the sketched cutting area. 3. If necessary, clean up edge with glass paper or file. 4. Mount the transponder through the opening. 5. From the rear, install the mounting brackets with the M4X6 screws. 6. Apply the mounting bracket screw on each side for a firm fix.
3.6.
3.6.3 Mounting Pilot Plug The Pilot Plug device provides connecting interface to pilots and other mariners to connect their own PC or other portable device to Camino701 on board.
Connecting to Camino-701 Junction Box Use the following guidelines to connect the Pilot Plug to the Camino701 Junction box. Please refer to section 3.8 External Connectors (Junction Box).

ITEM USAGE The switches provide line termination configuration. Termination off Termination on Termination Switches Jumper for NMEA2000 shield and ground The jumper’s purpose is to wire together NMEA2000 cable’s shield and ground. Depending on your scenario, you may choose not to connect them together.
3.9 Connecting Extension Cable Use the 37-pin- extension cable (1.8M) provided in the package connect CAMINO-701 to the junction box.
3.10 Configuring CAMINO-701 The following items must be completed before initial configuration. 1. Ensure VHF and GPS antennas are well connected to the transponder main unit. 2. Ensure the 37-pin-connector extension cable is well connected from the transponder main unit to the junction box. 3. Ensure the power cable is well connected and supplied with stable voltage/current power source. 4. Ensure applicable external devices are well connected through the junction box. 3.10.

APPENDIX (A) A.1 IEC 61162-2 Data Interface The CAMINO-701 Class A AIS Transponder provides 2 types of IEC 61162-2 data interfaces for user applications. The first interface type includes 3 input-only sensor data ports and the second interface type includes 4 bidirectional input/output ports. Data port for each interface type will be described in the following section below. A.1.1 Sensor Data Input Ports The schematic of input-only sensor data port is shown in Figure A1.
A.1.2 Bidirectional Data Ports The schematic of bidirectional data port is shown in Figure A2. The schematics inscludes an isoltated full duplex RS-485 transceiver IC (Texas Instrument ISO3080) which is used as the main component to handle both data input and output from external data source. The transceiver IC is isolated from external input.
