8.3.1.5 External display – ECDIS/Radar connections
The TR-8000 have a very flexible solution when it comes to connecting ECS/ECDIS, Modern Radar or
Chart plotter for displaying AIS data on a more advanced display than the TR-8000 Display unit, which
only gives you basic text/graphic information.
On modern ECS, Radars, Chart plotters etc. the vessels received by the TR-8000 will be shown as a
separate “Layer” or “Overlay” with configurable alarms on collision probability (CPA/TCPA) together
with high resolution accurate charts.
The TR-8000 Transponder unit can be connected in three different ways:
1. RS422 (Default) , connections 4-9
2. RS232 , connections 42-44
3. Ethernet (UDP), connected either instead of the TR-8000 display unit, or together with a
network Switch in parallel with the Display Unit
See also chapter 10.2.1.2 which describes how to configure “External Display” options
and table in chapter 8.3.1.2 for details of pinouts
Default speed on this port is 38400 baud.
Please note! The “Ethernet” interface is auto detecting RX and TX similar as a network switch. You don’t
need to think about crossed cable or not !
