Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Introduction 1.1. General The L-3 ProTec is an Automatic Identification System transponder which is fully compliant to the technical specifications defined by the IMO and outlined in ITU.R.M 1371-1. The transponder employs the latest radio frequency and Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and DSC controller technology to provide a high performance, automated, and reliable identification system for commercial mariners.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems When it has been determined that one or more of these assemblies is faulty, the faulty assembly(ies) should be removed and returned to the Aviation Recorders factory for repair or replacement. Attempts to repair any of these assemblies will void the warranty. Extreme care should be used when handling these assemblies.

Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3. AIS Description 1.3.1. Compact Design The completely self-contained L-3 ProTec is the most compact AIS unit available on the market today with outside dimensions of 6.5” W (16.5cm.) x 3.4” H (8.6cm.) x 7.4” D (18.8cm.). It is easily mounted on any surface using either a trunion bracket or flush-mount bracket. The data port on the faceplate provides for easy connection to any external display in either mounting configuration. 1.3.2.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.5. Equipment List The Standard AIS Installation Kit includes the following equipment: F Transponder Unit F Flush Mount Kit F Trunion Mount Kit F IEC NMEA Data Cable F Terminal Strips (Qty: 3) F Power Cable F Ground Cable F Installation Manuals In order to complete the installation, the following items will be required.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Table 1-- 2. AIS Parts List for AISA3000-10 Component Rev. 06 Mar.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.6. Operational Modes The ProTec AIS is designed to operate in each of three modes: Autonomous and Continuous, Assigned and Polled which are defined below. 1.3.6.1 Autonomous and Continuous This is the default mode. The ProTec AIS will determine its own schedule for transmission of position and identification and will automatically resolve scheduling conflicts with other stations using the SOTDMA methodology. 1.3.6.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 1.3.7. DSC Functionality The Assigned and Polled operational modes are activated through a DSC message transmitted by the competent authority. In order to provide for this, the ProTec AIS contains a dedicated DSC receiver that is tuned to channel 70. DSC messages originating from shore stations of competent authorities will define regional AIS frequencies, regions of coverage, required transmission schedule and/or interrogation request.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems F Dimensions of ship - to nearest meter. F Location on ship where reference point for position reports is located. F 1.3.9. Type of position fixing device - various options from differential GPS to undefined. F Draught of ship - 1/10 to 25.5m [note “air-draught” is not provided]. F Destination - 20 alphanumeric characters are provided.

Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Operation 2.1. Operation The L-3 ProTec has been designed to require minimal user interaction during normal operation. The interface consists of an integral alphanumeric display with alphanumeric keypad providing for data entry, retrieval and display. 2.1.1. Minimum Keyboard Display The L-3 ProTec includes and integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems NOTE: 2.1.1.1 When the AIS is in operation it is normal for the housing to be warm to the touch. Power/Dim Control A single control knob controls both the on/off function and backlighting level for the LCD. To turn the unit ON, rotate the knob clockwise. To turn unit OFF rotate counterclockwise fully. The degree of rotation determines the brightness of the LCD backlight and clockwise rotation will dim the backlighting.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Directional ARROW Keys Used to navigate between data entry fields on a data entry form and scroll right/left and up/down in an alphanumeric display field. When in the NAV (default) screen, the Left or Right arrow keys will allow the user to toggle between the Ship Name display and the MMSI screen. (The MMSI screen will always be displayed for a vessel if the ship name is not known.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems Repeated key presses will result in cycling through the character options repeatedly. When the operator stops pressing keys for longer than the preset timeout, the last value is retained and the cursor moves to the next location in the field. Pressing a different key forces acceptance of the last character for the field and moves the cursor along. FNC-ENT 2.1.3. Displays the Vessel/Voyage Setup screen.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems if it stops flashing and is displayed statically, it indicates that the display has become unresponsive. If this happens, cycle power. Text messaging can be disabled by pressing the FNC 1 button. When text messaging is disabled, a Tx Disabled message will appear in the upper right hand area of the display window.

Aviation Recorders Marine Systems ProTec AIS Installation 3.1. Installation The L-3 ProTec Transponder has been designed for easy installation into any existing bridge layout. Figure 3--1 gives a general representation of the system layout. Installation can be broken down into five distinct operations as follows: F F F F F Transponder VHF Antenna GPS Antenna Data Interface Powerup and Configuration Each operation will be discussed in detail below.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.1. Transponder The L-3 ProTec is a single box design which is easily installed into any existing bridge layout. The compact design requires minimal clearance (refer to Section 4 Figure 4--1 and Figure 4--2) and can be mounted in a trunion bracket or mounted flush using the available flush--mount bracket. F F F F F Mount the transponder in a position which provides easy access to the keyboard and display.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems For steps (5) through (9) refer to Paragraph 3.1.2. (5) Connect the IEC cable to data port on back of Transponder. NOTE: If an interface adapter must be used to convert either Gyro output and/or dGPS output to IEC (NMEA 0183) standard, the output from the interfaces should be located as near as possible to the sending unit (Gyro or dGPS) and the output cables led to the IEC terminal block. (6) Lead data cables from Gyrocompass data output port to terminal block.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems (12) Connect the other two leads to external alarm system if desired (see Figure 3--2). +24 VDC Rear of AIS Green Pass = Open Failed = Closed White Light or Buzzer 24 Red VDC To Power Supply Black Internal to AIS Power Connector Figure 3-- 2. Sample Alarm Setup (13) If an external display system is to be connected, lead the pilot port cable from the display unit to the terminal block. (Refer to Figure 3--8.) CAUTION: Do not power up the unit at this time.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.2. Connecting the IEC Data Interface Cable The AIS Transponder receives data from the ship’s sensors through a data interface cable which is connected to the back of the transponder through a data port. IMO regulations require that the ship heading, speed--over--ground (SOG), course--over--ground (COG), rate--of--turn (ROT) and position be transmitted from the AIS.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems The IEC I/O electrical characteristics are as follows: The A, B and C leads are as defined in IEC 61162--1, 61162--2 and V.11. A and B are both signal leads with C being the effective return for both the A and B leads. A and B operate differentially to each other. High--level output voltage is 4V minimum from the A lead to the C lead and from the B lead to the C lead. Low--level output voltage is 0.4V maximum. Recommended maximum output current capability is 110mA.

Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.3. Installing the VHF Antenna Installation of a VHF antenna is as important to reliable communications as the transceiver itself. It is recommended that a high quality antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instructions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation.
Aviation Recorders Marine Systems 3.1.4. Installing the GPS Antenna The correct installation of a GPS antenna is crucial to the operation of the transponder because the internal transmission synchronization relies on the accuracy of the time signal obtained from the GPS. It is recommended that a high quality GPS antenna be purchased from an established source and that all manufactures instructions be followed with particular attention to cable routing and connector installation.
