GENERAL
1.1 Features The TR-2500 is a universal ship borne AIS Class A transponder (Automatic Identification System) capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship, other ships and coastal stations. It complies with international standards: IMO MSC.74(69) Annex3, A.694, ITUR M.1371-1, DSC ITU-R M.825, IEC 60945 and IEC 61993-2. The TR-2500 system consists of a transponder, a junction box with connections for Input/Output of signals for associated units, a cable and connector to connect between the junction box and the transponder, a power cable for 24VDC input to the transponder from the junction box, VHF and GPS antenna or a combined VHF/GPS antenna and several associated units. The main features are: Safety of navigation by automatically exchanging navigational data between ships (Class A transponders), coast stations and Class B transponders (from SW version: AIS 01-01-02). Static data: - MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity). - IMO number (where available). - Call sign and name. - Length and beam. - Type of ship. - Location of position-fixing antenna on the ship. Dynamic data: - Ships position with accuracy indication and integrity status. - UTC. - Course over ground (COG). - Speed over ground (SOG). - Heading. - Navigation status (manual input). - Rate of turn (where available). Voyage related data - Ships draught. - Hazardous cargo (type). - Destination and ETA (at masters discretion). Short safety related messages and other short messages . LCD panel satisfying the IMO minimum requirements. Interfaces for radar, ECDIS, PC, LAN for future networking expansion. GPS and VHF antenna, separate or combined, for easy installation available. Built-in GPS receiver for UTC synchronization and backup position fixing.
Page 1-1
1.2 TR-2500 description The transponder consists of: 1.2.1 Front board The Front board consists of keyboard, LCD panel and four status lights for alarm, power, RX and TX. The Front board communicates directly with the MMI micro controller at the Digital board. The LCD panel displays all required information about static data, dynamic data, voyage related data and short safety related messages. The information and messages are automatically updated according to the necessary international standards. 1.2.2 Digital board The Digital board consists of DSP section, timer/MMI section, PC module and DGPS module. DSP section The DSP sections main task is to decode and code AIS. Timer/MMI section The main task of the Timer MMI section is to receive DGPS information and consider synchronization of the Tron AIS against the GPS system or against other transponders in the AIS system. Embedded Controller(EC) The EC module is the communication centre for the Tron TR-2500 Transponder: analyzing data, building and controlling data base, communication with external units and controlling RX and TX messages into the right time slots. DGPS module The DGPS board receive GPS information from the GPS network. The internal GPS is a 12 channel all-in-view receiver with a differential capacity, and provides UTC reference for system synchronization to eliminate synchronization problems among multiple users. 1.2.3 RF board The RF board consists of three receiver units and one transmitter unit. Two of the receiver units are TDMA receivers. One of the receiver units is dedicated to receive DSC messages. The transmitter unit is transmitting TDMA messages. 1.2.4 Power board The Power board consists of a DC/DC converter giving the necessary internal voltages to operate the TR-2500. 1.2.5 Connector board The connector board is the interface between the internal modules in Tron AIS and external units.

1.3 System overview The system is based on the IMO regulation for Universal AIS using Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology based on a VHF Data Link (VDL). The system operates in three modes: Autonomous (continuous operation in all areas) Assigned (data transmission interval remotely controlled by authority in traffic monitoring service) Polled (in response to interrogation from a ship or authority) The system is based on the IMO regulation for Universal AIS using Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access technology based on a VHF Data Link (VDL). The system is synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users. The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used in addition to local AIS frequencies. AIS transponders onboard ships exchange various data as specified by IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand. The DSC receiver in the transponder receives these frequencies. The VHF transmit power is set automatically at 2W or 12.5W. 1W transmission power during tanker loading
1.3.1
Implementation of ISGOTT demand stating 1W Transmission power during tanker loading. This implementation is included in SW version: 01-01-00. See paragraph 5.5.8.3 and 8.3 in this manual. Two new parameters describing power level associated with 1W output power. These parameters can be set with proprietary JOT nmea message which now accepts 22 parameters. When Type of ship = tanker, nav status = moored and SOG < 3kn (or SOG is default due to lack of sensor input), the AIS will substitute the 2.5W power parameters with the 1W power parameters and enter low power mode. When the criteria is not met, the AIS will revert to the 2.5W power parameters, and enter the power level associated with high sea area or the current region.

Page 3-1
3.1 Not all ships carry AIS It is important to remember that not all ships carry AIS, in particular leisure crafts, fishing boats, warships and some coastal shore stations including Vessel Traffic Service Centers. 3.2 Use of AIS in collision avoidance As an anti-collision aid the AIS has some advantages over radar: - Information provided in near real-time. - Capable of instant presentation of target course alternations. - Not subject to target swap. - Not subject to target loss in clutter. - Not subject to target loss due to fast maneuvers. - Able to detect ships within VHF/FM coverage. IMPORTANT When using the AIS for anti-collision purposes it is important to remember that the AIS is an additional source of navigation information. It does not replace other navigational systems. The AIS may not always give the right picture of the traffic in your area separately. 3.3 Erroneous information Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured or calibrated sensors might lead to transmission of incorrect information. It is the users responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

4.1.1 GPS antenna location Install the GPS antenna unit referring to figure 4.1.3. When selecting a mounting location for the antenna, keep in mind the following points. 1. Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal. 2. There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within the line-of-sight to a satellite, for example a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time. 3. Mount the antenna unit as high as possible to keep it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes. 4.1.2 VHF antenna location Location of the mandatory AIS VHF-antenna should be carefully considered. Digital communication is more sensitive than analogue/voice communication to interference created by reflections in obstructions like masts and booms. It may be necessary to relocate the VHF radiotelephone antenna to minimize interference effects. Install the VHF whip antenna referring to figure 4.1.3. Separate this antenna from other VHF radiotelephone antennas to prevent interference to the TR-2500. To minimize interference effects, the following guidelines apply: 1. The AIS VHF antenna should be placed in an elevated position that is as free as possible with a minimum of 0.5 meters in the horizontal direction from constructions made of conductive materials. The antenna should not be installed close to any large vertical obstruction. The objective for the AIS VHF antenna is to see the horizon freely through 360 degrees. 2. The AIS VHF antenna should be installed safely away from interfering high-power energy sources like radar and other transmitting radio antennas, preferably at least 3 meters away from and out of the transmitting beam. 3. There should not be more than one antenna on the same plane. The AIS VHF antenna should be mounted directly above or below the ship's primary VHF radiotelephone antenna, with no horizontal separation and with a minimum of 2.8 meters vertical separation. If it is located on the same plane as other antennas, the distance apart should be at least 10 meters.

4.1.3 GPS/VHF combined antenna See figure 4.1.3. Select a location out of the radar beam. The radar beam will obstruct or prevent reception of the GPS satellite signal. There should be no interfering object within the line-of-sight to the satellites. Objects within lineof-sight to a satellite, for example, a mast, may block reception or prolong acquisition time. Mount the antenna unit as high as possible. Mounting it this way keeps it free of interfering objects and water spray, which can interrupt reception of GPS satellite signal if the water freezes.

4.2 Cabling The cable should be kept as short as possible to minimize signal attenuation. The table below gives recommendations on cables that can be used for the GPS antenna connections: Type Attenuation Remark @1.5 GHz (dB/100m) 90 Default for use if length< 20 m and antenna = Procom GPS4 35 If combined GPS/VHF antenna from either Procom or Comrod is used, this or better can be used 30 Cable with lower loss
RG58 RG214 RG225
For optimum performance of the transponder approximately +10dB gain should be available when the cable attenuation has been subtracted from the GPS antenna preamplifier gain. Note that Procom AIS2/GPS and Comrod AC17-AIS are combined VHF/GPS antennas and additional attenuation from connectors/ diplexer must be taken in consideration. Some examples below: Cable Type RG58 RG214 RG225 Antenna Procom GPS4 Procom AIS2/GPS Comrod AC17-AIS Procom AIS2/GPS Comrod AC17-AIS Preamplifier Gain (dB/100m) 30 28 20 28 20 Recommended cable length (m) <20 meter 10-30 meter 10-20 meter 10-40 meter 10-30 meter
The table below is gives you the attenuation on the VHF frequencies with different cable types:
Cable Type
RG214 RG225
Attenuation @150 MHz (dB/100m) 7 8
Diameter (mm)
Weight (kg/100m)
10,8 10,9
18,5 23,3
Example: A RG 214 cable with length of 40 meters will have an attenuation of 2,8 dB. Please keep the cables as short as possible, and be aware that 3 dB losses mean only half the output power. If you have a transmitter delivering 12,5 W, and you have 3 dB losses in the cable, only 6,25 Watts will be at the antenna.
4-3
4.2.1 Cable installation All outdoor installed connectors on coaxial cables should be fitted with preventive isolation such as vulcanizing tape to protect against water penetration into the antenna cable. Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 10 cm away from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90). The minimum bend radius of the coaxial cable should be 5 times the cable's outer diameter.
4.2.2 Cable between Transponder and Junction Box The cable is connected to a 37-pin D-sub male connector and is delivered in 10m length.
Figure 4.2.2, Connection cable
4.3 Mounting of transponder unit The transponder unit can be installed as desktop mounted, roof mounted, flush mounted in a panel or mounted in a 19`` rack. Install it on the chart table or near the steering place. When selecting a mounting location for the transponder the following guidelines apply: 1. Keep the transponder out of direct sunlight. 2. The temperature and humidity should be moderate and stable. 3. Locate the unit away from exhaust pipes and vents. The mounting location should be well ventilated. 4. Mount the unit where shock and vibration are minimal. 5. Keep the unit away from electromagnetic field generating equipment such as motor and generator. 6. Leave sufficient space at the sides and rear of the unit for maintenance and repair. Also leave slack in cables for the same reason. 7. A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to it. Observe the following compass safe distance to prevent disturbance to the compass: Standard Compass: 1.0 meters Magnetic Compass: 0.4 meters

4.5.2.1 Signal state definitions Junction Box interfaces Port 1 to 7 are RS422 with A and B lines. The idle, marking, logical 1, OFF or stop bit states are defined by a negative voltage on line A with respect to line B. The active, spacing, logical 0, ON or start bit states are defined by a positive voltage on line A with respect to line B. It should be noted that the above A with respect to B levels are inverted from the voltage input/output requirements of standard UARTs and that many line drivers and receivers provide a logic inversion. 4.5.3 DC Power Input/output of Junction Box Function GND 0VDC +24VDC MAIN GND 0VDC FUSED +24VDC FUSED GND 0VDC +24VDC BACKUP Input/Output In In Out Out In In

The TR-2500 will not start to transmit own ship static data, or receive other stations before the MMSI number is entered and the unit is rebooted. See chapter 5.3.1.2 for entering the MMSI number. After a reboot it will then start to transmit within 2 minutes. Static data includes MMSI number, IMO number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS antenna position. The ships dynamic data like the ships position with accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. is also transmitted in intervals between two seconds and 3 minutes depending of the ships speed and course change. See chapter 8.1 for list of Ships navigation status and reporting interval. After a while the alarm status will be indicated. See chapter 8.2 for Alarm messages.

In addition to the limits of the region, a transition zone must be defined between 1 and 8 nautical miles. This is done in the menu line marked ZONE This zone is used for frequency transition so only one frequency is changed at a time. There are defined rules for how the AIS will behave through this zone. The AIS will continuously monitor for its own position and range to the regional areas defined. When entering transition zone for Region 1, frequency is changed on the primary channel. The AIS is now sending the primary frequency defined for each of the regions. When the boundary for the Region 1 is crossed, the second frequency shall be changed. Then the primary frequency for the old region (or default setting) is switched with the secondary frequency for the new region. Then both frequencies have changed. When entering another region, frequency transition is performed as described above with the frequencies (settings) of the new region. When leaving a region, frequency transition is performed back to default values.
