WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE UAIS HAS BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH IMO GUIDELINES AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
BEFORE SWITCHING ON
Please read all the warning notices at the front of this manual before turning on the
Transponder.
Before switching on the power supply for the first time, conduct a thorough visual
inspection of all cabling and connections to determine that they are terminated
correctly and that the 24VDC power supply has been connected appropriately.
After installation, it is necessary to carry out an initial set-up procedure. This
procedure is carried out using the VDU and selecting the Enter setup menu.
It is now safe to switch on the system for the first time.
NOTE: If the display is not easy to read, refer to section 3.35 which details how to
adjust the display.
For a complete overview of the commissioning menu structure, please refer to
Appendix 2 “UAIS Commissioning Menu Hierarchy” at the back of this Manual.
The static data related to the vessel, such as Name and MMSI number, must be
entered via the VDU as well as configuring all input and output data interface ports.
It is very important that a record of the installation related parameters is kept on
board the ship, as these parameters may need to be changed. A record of these
parameters can be entered into the Warranty Registration & Acceptance Record
found in the Installation Manual. A copy of the completed record should be faxed to
the manufacturer in order to validate the 24-month warranty period.
4.1 Initial Start-up
Ensure that power is available to the Transponder unit and that the main power
on/off switch, located to the left side of the cable entry of the Transponder, is
switched to the “on” position (green LED illuminated). At this point the Transponder
is active and will wait for 1 minute before entering the network and starting
transmission as it is listening to other stations to determine its own transmission
time slot sequence schedule.
Press to switch on VDU. To switch off, press and hold for 2
seconds.
NOTE: When re-starting the VDU, the screen displayed will be that when the VDU
was switched off.
