AIS Installation Manual Issue 1 51
12 Commissioning guide
The sequence of operations given here MUST be performed in order to set essential
parameters of the AIS system, and to make it operational.
The Operation manual contains detailed information on the method of setting these parameters.
Refer to that manual if difficulty is found with any of the outline steps given below.
1. select “Setup mode: Ship's static data” by pressing and holding 'ENTER'
2. select “edit SHIP'S DATA”
3. enter service mode by using the service password (default 'SERVICE')
4. go to page "Setup mode: Configuration"
5. change the baud rate of each serial port in turn to match the baud rate of the external
equipment connected to that port
6. go to page “Setup mode: Ship’s static data”
7. enter valid data for 'MMSI', 'IMO', 'vessel' & 'call sign'
8. select 'vessel type'
9. enter 'beam' & 'length'
10. enter internal & external GNSS antenna positions
11. press 'Save SHIP'S DATA' to save settings
CAUTION: as soon as a valid MMSI number is saved, the AIS will begin operation. Allow at
least 2 minutes for the system to initialise and obtain a valid GNSS fix.
The next stage is to check that the sensors are operational.
12. select “Voyage mode: Current status”
13. check that all available sensors are recognised
14. temporarily disconnect the external GNSS signal (This will cause an alarm.)
15. check that the internal GNSS is providing data, and that the display indicates the
GNSS source as internal
16. reconnect the external GNSS signal. Check that the GNSS source is now external
Now change the service password:
17. select “Setup mode: Ship's static data”
18. select “edit SHIP'S DATA”
19. enter current service password (default 'SERVICE')
20. enter new password in 'change password' field
21. enter new password in ‘confirm password' field
22. press 'verify password' to store the new service password
This completes the entry of required parameters. The M-2 system is now fully operational.
If it becomes necessary to disable an alarm, refer to the Operation manual.
