HOW TO USE AIS-CTRX CARBON
AIS-CTRX CARBON has four (4) LEDs that indicate status on your transponder and
help to monitor that all as it should be.
AIS RX YACHT provides more possibilities to improve navigation safety as a
complement to i.e. radar and electronic sea charts. The built-in GPS receiver makes
AIS RX YACHT a small navigation system together with the SeaClear navigation
software that is included. An AIS receiver increases your safety when navigating in
the fog and dark. Out at sea, it also provides increased security and support for radar
information during i.e. squalls, snow or choppy seas. AIS also lets you see behind
islands and peninsulas, giving you a good idea of what's around the corner.
Figure 34 AIS can see behind islands and peninsulas.
The Swedish National Maritime Administration will also be using the land-based AIS
grid to transmit safety related messages. These messages will contain information
about sudden obstacles in the waterways, navigational warnings, weather
information etc.
Weather information will also be transmitted in real-time from strategic places along
the coast. This will contain information regarding wind direction and speed, water
levels, temperature, currents and tides.
