Introduction 2 Introduction 2.1 About AIS The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.
Introduction 2.2 Static and dynamic vessel data Information transmitted by an AIS transceiver is in two categories: static and dynamic data. The vessel's dynamic data which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) is calculated automatically using the internal GPS receiver. Static data is information about the vessel which must be programmed into the AIS transceiver.
Operation 3 Operation This section assumes that the Poseidon transceiver has been installed in accordance with the instructions provided in the Installation section of this manual. Please read the warning notices at the front of this manual before operating the AIS transceiver. 3.

Installation 4 Installation The Poseidon AIS transceiver has been designed for ease of installation. The transceiver is a ‘one box’ design containing both the transceiver and display. An external junction box is provided to simplify connection of sensor and display data wiring. A typical system and connection diagram is provided in Figure 30.
Installation 4.1 What’s in the box? Figure 31 shows the items included with your AIS transceiver purchase. The following section gives a brief overview of each item. Please ensure all items are present and if any of the items are missing please contact your dealer.
Installation 4.2 Preparing for installation In addition to the items provided with thePoseidon transceiver the following items will be required to complete the installation: 4.2.1 VHF Antenna Connection of a suitable VHF antenna will be required for the AIS transceiver to operate. A standard marine band VHF antenna such as that used with VHF voice radios is sufficient. The antenna cable should be terminated with a PL-259 (or UHF) connector.
Installation ● An AC power port should be available near to the pilot plug. A pilot plug is located on the front panel of the AIS transceiver and can also be relocated using the junction box. Please refer to section 4.4.2 for guidance.
Installation Figure 34 Panel mounting the AIS transceiver 4.3.2 Step 2 - Installing the junction box The AIS transceiver receives data from the ship’s sensors via the 50 way data cable which connects to the rear of the transceiver. The other end of this cable is connected to the junction box which provides a convenient screw terminal system for connection of ships sensor data cables.
Installation 52 mm 58 mm 165 mm 178 mm 76 mm Figure 35 Junction box dimensions Figure 36 Mounting the junction box 4.3.3 Installing the GPS antenna The Poseidon AIS transceiver includes an internal GPS receiver for time synchronisation. An independent GPS antenna is required for this receiver in addition to any GPS equipment already installed on board. For mounting of the GPS antenna supplied with your AIS transceiver you will require a one inch 14 TPI pole mount.
Installation ● If possible mount the antenna at least 5m (16ft) from any RADAR or Satellite communications antennas, and ensure the GPS antenna is not in the beam path from any RADAR antenna. ● Route the GPS antenna cable through the pole mount and then to the AIS transceiver. If extension cables are required all junctions should be made using appropriate co-axial connectors and made watertight. ● Connect the GPS antenna cable to the GPS connector on the AIS transceiver as shown in Figure 38.
Installation Please note the following guidelines when selecting and locating the AIS VHF antenna: ● The VHF antenna should be located as high as possible and positioned as far from other antennas as possible. ● The VHF antenna should have omnidirectional vertical polarisation. ● Where possible the VHF antenna should be installed at least 3m (10ft) away from other transmitting radio, satellite and RADAR antennas.
Installation VHF antenna connection Figure 40 VHF antenna connection 4.4 Connecting the equipment With the transceiver, junction box and antenna installed it is now possible to connect the equipment in preparation for commissioning. 4.4.1 Antenna connections If antenna connections have not already been made the GPS and VHF antennas should now be connected to the transceiver. Refer to Figure 38 and Figure 40 for guidance. 4.4.2 Data connections The Poseidon transceiver is supplied with a 1m (3.
Installation 4.4.3 Sensor configuration The Poseidon transceiver has seven NMEA0183 (IEC61162-1/2) data ports for connection of ship’s sensors and display equipment as described in Table 3. There are three input ports for ship’s sensor data and three bidirectional ports for connection of display equipment such as Radar or electronic chart displays. It is recommended that an AIS compatible electronic charting system is connected to the Poseidon transceiver for display of AIS targets.

Installation Data port Junction box signal label Description Function Sensor 1 SEN1 A Sensor port 1 input A SEN1 B Sensor port 1 input B SEN1 GND Sensor port 1 isolated ground Connect to data source, typically ships primary GPS at 4800baud. This port can be configured to operate at either 4800 or 38400 baud*.
Installation An example of connection to external display equipment is provided in Figure 43, and connections to other equipment and sensors follow the same scheme. To determine the ‘A’ and ‘B’ signal lines on external equipment use a digital volt meter to measure the signal line voltage referenced to ground. If the voltmeter shows a negative voltage the ‘A’ signal line is being measured, a positive voltage indicates the ‘B’ signal line.
Installation Along with data port connections the junction box also provides connections to the AIS transceiver alarm relay contacts. The common and normally open alarm contacts are duplicates of the alarm relay connections available at the power connector (see Table 5) whilst the normally closed contact is only provided at the junction box. The alarm relay connections are described in Table 5. Use the alarm connections appropriate to the vessels alarm system.
Installation The alarm relay is rated to 220VDC or 2ADC or 60W maximum. The alarm connections provided at the power connections are a duplicate of the those available via the junction box and described in section 4.4. A chassis ground stud is provided on the rear panel of the transceiver. Note that the transceiver chassis is isolated from the incoming power supply so this stud must not be connected to power supply ground. 4.4.
Installation 4.5 Configuring the Poseidon transceiver Once all connections have been made the transceiver can be powered and configured for operation. During configuration information about the vessel on which the transceiver is installed is entered into the transceiver. It is important this information is entered accurately as it will be broadcast to other AIS equipped vessels and shore stations.
Installation To enter the GNSS antenna locations go back to the main menu and select the ‘Dimensions’ then ‘Internal’ or 'External’ option as appropriate. Dimensions for both the internal and external GNSS antennas must be entered if an external GNSS is connected to the AIS transceiver. The antenna dimensions should be entered in metres according to the diagram provided in Figure 47.
