Greatly improves the level of the situational awareness
even in fog, darkness or congested waterways
s
Outputs data to NavNet 3D, NavNet vx2 and PC through Ethernet
s
Flexible integration with various AIS compatible radar and chart plotters
s
AIS Viewer software for PC (Standard supply)
s
Sturdy design mounts easily on a bulkhead

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) improves the safety level of boating by exchanging
information about the status of your ship with other AIS-equipped craft nearby. The system
utilizes VHF broadcasts to handle information about the surrounding area, such as other
craft and buoys and other aids-to-navigation.
The AIS data includes target position, course and speed over ground, allowing you to
foresee the course changes of particular targets. AIS targets are constantly visible even when
they are shrouded in fog, in darkness, behind headlands, river bends or other obstructions.

* Usually FA-50 uses the internal GPS. When connecting the external GPS, use one which satisfies
the followings.
1) Outputs DTM sentence. (WGS-84 can be chosen.)
2) Outputs GBS sentence.
3) Outputs sentences with the mode indicator;
GNS: Ver. 3.0 or later GLL: Ver. 2.0 or later GGA: Ver. 2.0 or later RMC: Ver. 1.5 or later
4) The measured result of internal and external GPSs should be within 26 m. (These antenna should
be located within 6 m.)
