2Overview
The 3410 is an AIS Electronics Unit which receives data from other vessels by means of a VHF radio
and sends these data to the radar/navigation system. In the opposite direction, the AIS receives data from
the radar/navigation system and the ship’s sensors and transmits these data by means of the VHF radio.
Access to these data and access to the VHF radio for a pilot is prepared by means of an additional pilot
port.
The AIS has a long range port to connect a long distance communication system, for instance a satellite
communication system. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. These data are sent
back via the long range port to the questioner.
The AIS 3410 is equipped with a 16 channel GPS receiver and provides position data according to IEC
61162 Edition 3, so that it is suitable for the use as a position sensor. In areas where the VTS stations
provide differential correction data via VHF link the AIS 3410 switches automatically into DGPS mode.
For further details see Section 4.
2.1 Compatibility with Other Systems
The AIS 3410 can be used in the following system:
- RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR 1000/1100
-NACOS xx-5
-NACOS xx-4
- CHARTPILOT Stand-alone
- NACOS xx-3 (Radar 9xxx AIS Interface needed for the display of AIS targets at Radar 9xxx indica-
tors and MULTIPILOTs in radar mode)
- mixed systems consisting of Radar 9xxx and RADARPILOT 1000
- Radar 9xxx (with Radar 9xxx AIS Interface)
The AIS might not work with SAM Electronics systems/components which are running with older software
versions. For further information, see the Technical Manuals of these systems or the Software Release
Notes.
It is also possible to use the AIS 3410 within systems from other manufacturers which support the IEC-
defined interfaces.
