1 Introduction 1.1 General overview The NAIS-00 is a Class B Transponder that’s purpose is to transmit the position and other information about your vessel, to other AIS equipped vessels. It is housed in a rugged waterproof enclosure to withstand the rigors of the marine environment. The NAIS- 00 uses a sophisticated automatic digital time sharing technology which enables the exchange of static information like; MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identifier) Number, Vessel’s Name, Call Sign

2 Installation 2.1 General The NAIS-00 is designed to be mounted on a flat surface somewhere out of sight, but easily accessible. However, to determine the best possible location, you need to consider how and where, you are going to run the cabling from the sides of the unit. The NAIS-00 is very simple to install, however, the performance of the equipment is directly affected by the quality of the installation. Please read these instructions carefully before attempting installation. If

Rx Tx BIIT PWR NAIS-300 The cable can be routed in the molding to drop down directly underneath, or by breaking out the thin traps, the cable can be routed out of the side of the antenna. Alternatively, the antenna may be fixed on a standard 1” threaded mounting pole (Not supplied). Attach the supplied mounting base to the antenna with the four screws, thread the cable down the center hole and through the pole. Thread the pole into the mounting base, before attaching the pole to the s

The most important factor in the performance of any AIS transceiver will be the quality and positioning of the antenna. As the range of VHF signals are governed by line of sight, the antenna should be placed as high as possible, while remaining clear of any metallic objects. Long whip antennas are generally recommended for larger boats, although the most popular antennas for marine use is 1m (ft in) long. On sailboats these are usually mounted on the masthead, where the length of t

The antenna cable should terminate in a standard marine PL59 plug fitting. Connect the antenna plug to the socket on the side of the unit and screw the retaining collar down. Figure .. To avoid possible water damage to the transceiver, it is recommended that all cables are looped to provide a drip path. Installation 1

3 Configuration 3.1 General Before the NAIS-00 can become fully functional, it will be necessary to load the following information about your vessel into the unit: • Vessels Name • Call Sign • MMSI Number • Vessels Dimensions • Vessel Type In order to enter this information, you will need to connect your NAIS-00 to your PC or laptop through the supplied RS cable. This can be done in the comfort of your living room at home. 3.2 Connecting to a computer Wire one end of the supplied RS

For security reasons the MMSI of the vessel cannot be changed once programmed. Do not programme the MMSI unless you are certain you have the correct information. Please check the number entered carefully. If the MMSI programmed is incorrect the AIS transponder will need to be returned to the supplier for factory reset. Should it become necessary to change your MMSI, for example, if you wish to re-install your NAIS-00 into a new vessel; you will need to contact your local Navico dealer

4 Operation 4.1 General The NAIS-00 has a limited user interface , consisting of a transmit enable/disable switch, (not supplied), and four indicators on the top of the unit, they are: • PWR [Green] - Power/GPS Lock Status/Silent Mode • BIIT [Red] - Built In Integrity Test • TX [Yellow] - Transmit • RX [Blue] -AIS Message Received 4.2 Indicators At power up, all four LED’s will light continuously for five seconds to show that they are working, then they will go into the following routines

6 flashes - noise threshold exceeded 7 flashes - voltage supply fault The “BIIT” message will remain there until the fault is cleared by the NAIS- 00 circuitry, or the unit has been repaired. TX After the initial five seconds the LED will then go out. It will light for one second every time the unit transmits its AIS data. The LED will also light continuously if a transmitter time-out fault occurs. RX After the initial five seconds the LED will flash every time an AIS message is received.
