1 General Introduction 1.1 Description of AIS What does the abbreviation AIS stand for? AIS stands for: “Automatic Identification System” What is AIS? According to IALA regulations, AIS is defined as follows: Very simply, the AIS is a broadcast Transponder system, operating in the VHF maritime mobile Band. It is capable of sending ship information such as identification, position course, speed and more, to other ships and to shore.
2 GlobalWatch2TM AIS 2.1 System Overview Unlike other AIS devices, the GlobalWatch2TM AIS combines all required functions into one cabinet. Additionally, the GlobalWatch2TM AIS gives the operator a number of additional features (easy mounting & installation, environmental protection, smallest dimensions).

3 Installation 3.1 Installation Requirements General Requirements Please note that international conventions, regulations, instructions and guidelines have to be adhered to when installing the GlobalWatch2TM AIS. The following points must be observed before installation can commence: - Permission by the local authority to install such a device must be granted. Trained service personnel must undertake the installation. The GlobalWatch2TM AIS must be fitted in a suitable place on the bridge.
GlobalWatch2TM AIS Connection Diagram Note: The ACR connection box includes a fuse of 6,3A. If it is not used, then the unit has to be protected against high current by an external slow blow fuse of 6,3A. GlobalWatch2TM AIS Installation Manual 4 Version 1.0 Y1-03-0183-1 Rev.

3.3 Installation of VHF / GPS Antennas Interference to the Ship’s VHF Radiotelephone The AIS ship borne equipment, like any other ship borne transceiver operating in the VHF maritime band, may cause interference to a ship’s VHF radiotelephone. Because AIS is a digital system, this interference may occur as a periodic (e.g. every 20 seconds) soft clicking sound on the ship’s radiotelephone.
Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes, and at least 10 cm away from any power supply cables. Crossing of cables should take place at right angles (90°). Coaxial cables should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to changes to the characteristic impedance of the cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the cables outside diameter.
4 Starting the GlobalWatch2TM AIS After completing the hardware, antennas and external equipment installation, the initial system start-up can commence. To start the system, connect the GlobalWatch2TM AIS with the power supply. The next step is to enter the configuration like password and the MMSI number. L 4.1 MMSI Number: BoatU.S is an organization for advancing the interests of boaters. The “BoatU.S. MMSI Program” has been certified by both the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S.
4.2 Service and User Passwords: The Transponder system is equipped with two separate Passwords. 1) The User Password, which is the lower security level allows access to all menus except Menu 6: Service Configuration - please refer to the User Manual for further details on password protection. 2) The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu.

5 Troubleshooting 5.1 Reading and understanding Alarms: The GlobalWatch2TM AIS differentiates between Alarm and TXT messages. An Alarm informs the user about major system malfunctions and failings in the connected sensors. The Alarm Status informs the user about all active Alarms. The Alarm will be disabled and deleted from the Alarm Status, as soon as the displayed problem has been rectified. The TXT status displays additional sensor information and the UTC clock status.
