3.2 Installation procedures
Before beginning installation of your AIS transceiver, please ensure you have
any necessary additional items as detailed in section
3.1. It is strongly
recommended that you read all of the instructions in this manual prior to
installation.
If after reading this manual you are unsure about any element of the
installation process please contact your dealer or support@em-trak.com for
advice.
The following sections explain the installation process step by step for each
of the main elements of the system.
Step 1 - Installing the AIS transceiver
Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for your AIS
transceiver:
● The AIS transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least
0.2m from a compass or any magnetic device.
● There should be adequate space around the AIS transceiver for
routing of cables. See
Figure 6 for details of the AIS transceiver
dimensions.
● The ambient temperature around the AIS transceiver should be
maintained between -25°C and +55°C.
● The AIS transceiver should not be located in a flammable or
hazardous atmosphere such as in an engine room or near to fuel
tanks.
● The transceiver should be mounted horizontally, with the LEDs facing
up, for optimum performance of the internal GNSS antenna.
● A mounting bracket and four self tapping screws are supplied for
attachment of the AIS transceiver to a suitable surface. Please refer
to
Figure 7 for guidance.
● The AIS transceiver should be mounted in a location where the
indicators are readily visible as they provide important information on
the status of the AIS transceiver.
