ACR Electronics AIS - Pilot Port CH 5; Long Range CH 8

3.4.3 Pilot Port CH 5
The used sentence formatters for the pilot plug are the same as those listed for the ECDIS
port.
Note: A pilot input/output port is part of an AIS Class A installation. A plug connected to this
port should be installed on the bridge near the pilot‟s operating position, so that a pilot can
connect a Personal Pilot Unit (PPU) if required. Also, a power connector for the pilot unit
should be available nearby.
The pilot plug should be configured as follows: (Refer to SUB-COMMITTEE ON SAFETY OF
NAVIGATION NAV48/18 2.4.2002)
AMP/Receptacle (Square Flanged (-1) or Free-Hanging (-2)), Shell size 11, 9-pin,
Std. Sex 206486-1/2 or equivalent with the following connections:
- Tx A (out-) is connected to Pin 1
- Tx B (out+) is connected to Pin 4
- Rx A (in-) is connected to Pin 5
- Rx B (in+) is connected to Pin 6
- Shield is connected to Pin 9
3.4.4 Long Range CH 8
The AIS long range function requires a compatible long range communication system (e.g.
Inmarsat-C or MF/HF radio as part of GMDSS). This connection is required in order to
activate the long range function of the AIS. Its input/output port must meet the IEC 61162-2
requirements.
