Why does my ACR Electronics GPS AIS antenna VSWR exceed the limit?
- H
  Harry CervantesAug 25, 2025
  If the AIS reports that the antenna VSWR exceeds the limit, inspect the VHF antenna and its installation. Ensure that you are using RG214 / 50 Ohm cable for the antenna cabling.

How to fix ACR Electronics GPS AIS when no sensor position is in use?
- M
  Michael MataAug 26, 2025
  If the AIS indicates that no sensor position is in use, check the sensor cabling and the antenna of the internal GPS sensor. This issue arises when there's no valid position data from either the internal GPS or an external position sensor.

What to do if ACR Electronics NAUTICAST inland AIS Marine Equipment AIS shows 'External EPFS lost'?
- A
  Ashley BarnettSep 16, 2025
  If your ACR Electronics Marine Equipment AIS displays 'External EPFS lost', it means no valid data is available on Ch1, Ch2, or Ch3. Check the sensor and its cabling and verify the system that delivers the data is working. Also, check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs, ensuring that the AIS uses the NMEA 0183 V3.0 protocol.

What does 'AIS: PRESS ENTER TO EXIT 1W/AUTO TX MODE' mean on ACR Electronics GPS?
- R
  Robin WeeksSep 12, 2025
  If your ACR Electronics GPS displays 'AIS: PRESS ENTER TO EXIT 1W/AUTO TX MODE', check the conditions (SOG, Navstat, Shiptype) to ensure they are valid. An invalid GPS can also trigger this alarm.

What does 'PRESS ENTER TO EXIT 1W/AUTO TX MODE' mean on ACR Electronics Intercom System?
- A
  Angela WhiteSep 2, 2025
  The 'PRESS ENTER TO EXIT 1W/AUTO TX MODE' message on your ACR Electronics Intercom System indicates that the output power is at 1 Watt. Check the AIS configuration, including Navstat and Shiptype settings. This alarm can also occur if the GPS is not functioning correctly.

What to do if ACR Electronics Intercom System says 'External EPFS lost'?
- R
  robertadamsSep 3, 2025
  If your ACR Electronics Intercom System displays 'AIS; External EPFS lost,' it means sensor data from the external GPS is missing. Check the output and settings of the external GPS unit. Ensure it transmits NMEA 0183 V2.5 sentences such as GLL, GNS, GGA, and RMC. If you are not using an external GPS, no action is required.

What causes ACR Electronics Marine Equipment AIS 'Antenna VSWR exceeds limit'?
- D
  Daniel BridgesSep 23, 2025
  If your ACR Electronics Marine Equipment AIS displays 'Antenna VSWR exceeds limit', it is related to the VHF antenna or its installation. Check the antenna and the antenna cabling, ensuring that RG214 / 50 Ohm cable is used.

What does it mean when ACR Electronics GPS AIS displays 'No valid ROT Information'?
- T
  Timothy BrooksAug 29, 2025
  If the AIS shows 'No valid ROT Information', it means either no Rate Of Turn indicator is in use, or there is no valid data from the external sensor. If a Rate Of Turn indicator is not in use, acknowledging the alarm is sufficient. Otherwise, check the sensor and the cabling, ensure the system providing the data is working, and verify the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs, as the AIS requires the NMEA 0183 V3.0 protocol. Note that inland vessels typically do not have a ROT indicator, so no action may be needed.
