AIS Receivers
Picture a shipboard display that includes a mark for every ship within VHF
range. This information can be yours with an
inexpensive Smart Radio AIS Receiver (added to
your navigation software or compatible GPS or Radar
Chart Plotter) or a Si-tex AIS Radar standalone
unit. Add a display to any AIS receiver with the
AISWatchMate.

Smart Radio AIS Receivers
The Smart Radio AIS Receivers are compact, easy
to install, stand alone marine receivers that monitor
the channels assigned to the Automatic Identification
System or AIS. These radio receivers are specially built
for marine environments for the intended use of
deciphering Automatic Identification System data. Most
commercial vessels are required to have an AIS
transponder that transmits information about the vessel
and its movements. The system is designed to assist
vessels with identifying the traffic around them and to
help with marine safety and collision avoidance.
Smart Radios come in two versions:
a low cost, single channel scanning receiver
designed for recreational vessels and a full
time dual channel receiver designed for
recreational and professional use.
- High-sensitivity AIS data reception
- Line of sight reception similar to
marine VHF reception distances
- Very low power consumption
- Receives AIS Class A & B vessel reports
- Sends information to a PC or
chart-plotter via a serial interface
- Ability to track and display information
on multiple targets
- Easy installation: connect a VHF antenna
(not included), 12 volt DC power and a
serial cable to your PC
- Can an be used to consolidate incoming
NMEA positional data from a GPS into a
combined high-speed data stream on a single
serial port with optional AIS/GPS cable
- Dual AIS channel support

AISWatchMate
Add a display and simple user control to your AIS
receiver or transponder.
Whether you're voyaging near or far, the AISWatchMate
is the ideal partner for maximizing the benefits of AIS. Compatible with most "black box" receivers or
transponders, it provides a graphical situation display
of targets, filters to manage data and prevent false
alarms, and prioritized display of data so that you get
the most critical information first--all in a waterproof
package with low power consumption. Features
include:
- Adjustable daylight viewable backlit
125mm (5") LCD.
- Simple 4-button control with on-screen
help.
- A radar-like "heading up" display of all
vessels within the selected range.
- Shows the relative position of a target
to your vessel at the closest point of
approach and indicates whether a target will
pass ahead or behind.
- Vessels and alarms are presented in
priority order.
- Vessels can be filtered from either
display or alarms.
- Internal alarms sound for close
approaches or guard ranges. An
external buzzer, alarm, or light can be
interfaced without requiring additional
relays.
- Typically uses less than 100 mA at 12V.
- Watertight (USCG CFR-46, IP67).
- Includes mounting bracket and screws,
flush mounting template and gasket,
power/data cable, protective cover, and
installation instructions.

AIS Radar
The Si-tex AIS Radar receives
transmissions from vessels carrying AIS
transponders and displays information from up to
30 targets on a 5" monochrome LCD screen with a
radar-like display.
-
Any vessel on the screen can be selected to
display vessel's MMSI number, name, course
over ground, speed over ground, range,
latitude and longitude
-
Each vessel is independently labeled so the
user can see if a vessel is underway, at
anchor, fishing etc. This information is
sent continuously and is useful in
navigating, traffic monitoring, and
collision avoidance
-
Zoom feature allows 6 ranges to be selected:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 NM
-
An alarm can be selected to give an audible
warning if a vessel enters a preset range
ring
-
Dual channel--161.975 and 162.02
MHz--operation
- Ability to track and display information
on up to 30 targets
- Accepts position information from an
onboard GPS (optional) to display user at
the center of the screen and all other AIS
transponding vessels displayed with relative
bearing and range
- Easy installation: connect a VHF antenna
(not included) and 12 volt DC power
-
Case Size: 6"W x 4 1/2"H x 1 5/8"D
-
No NMEA/computer connectivity
