10.1.3.3.4 Transition Zone
A Region must be between 20 an 200 Nautical miles and within this region there will be a “Transition
zone” between 1 and 8 Nautical miles:
This zone is used for frequency transition so only
one frequency is changed at a time. There are
defined rules for how the AIS will behave
through this zone.
The AIS will continuously monitor for its own
position and range to the regional areas defined.
When entering transition zone for Region 1,
frequency is changed on the primary channel.
The AIS is now sending the primary frequency
defined for each of the regions.
When the boundary for the Region 1 is crossed,
the second frequency shall be changed. Then the primary frequency for the old region (or default
setting) is switched with the secondary frequency for the new region. Then both frequencies have
changed.
When entering another region, frequency transition is performed as described above with the
frequencies (settings) of the new region. When leaving a region, frequency transition is performed back
to default values.
To change the value of this “Transition Zone”, select the button and input value
between 1 and 8 (Nautical miles)
