SYSTEM OVERVIEW
System overview
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) was originally developed to aid the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) by use of a VHF transponder working on Digital Selective Call (DSC) at VHF CH70, and is still in use along the UK coastal areas and others. Some time later the IMO developed a
Universal AIS using the new sophisticated technology called Self-Organized Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) 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) and polled
(in response to interrogation from a ship or authority). It is synchronized with GPS time to avoid conflict among multiple users (IMO minimum 2000 reports per minute and IEC requires 4500 reports on two channels). The VHF channels 87B and 88B are commonly used and in addition there are local AIS frequencies. Shipborne AIS transponders exchange various data as specified by the
IMO and ITU on either frequency automatically set up by the frequency management telecommand received by the DSC receiver on ship.
AIS-fitted AtoN broadcasts its identification, type of operation, location, displacement, etc. at
3-min intervals or at a reporting rate designated by the
Administration authorities.

Navigation
(AtoN)
VTS Center transmits TDMA CH management message including code, type, position, etc. of buoys every 3 min, and the AtoN broadcasts these messages for ships.
VTS center
The VTS center transmits a command on frequency assignment, slots, report rate,
VHF output power, channel spacing, etc.

Ship 1
All ships broadcast Static and Dynamic information (autonomous and continuous mode). If OS wants to know information about ship 1, OS shall send an interrogation in polling mode; then ship 1 will transmit her response on the same VHF channel without operator intervention.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Not all ships carry AIS
The Officer of the Watch (OOW) should always be aware that other ships, and in particular leisure craft, fishing boats and warships, and some coastal shore stations (including Vessel Traffic Service centers) might not be fitted with AIS.
The OOW should also be aware that AIS fitted on other ships as a mandatory carriage requirement might be switched off by the master if its use might compromise the security of the vessel.
Thus, users are therefore cautioned to always bear in mind that information provided by AIS may not be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in their vicinity.
Use of AIS in collision avoidance
As an anti-collision aid, the AIS has the following advantages over radar:
• Information provided in near real-time
• Capable of instant presentation of target course alterations
• Not subject to target swap
• Not subject to target loss in clutter
• Not subject to target loss due to abrupt maneuvers
• Able to "detect" ships within VHF/FM coverage, including in some circumstances, around bends and behind islands.
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 be giving a complete or correct “picture” of shipping traffic in its vicinity.
The use of the AIS does not negate the responsibility of the OOW to comply with all collision regulation requirements, especially the maintaining of a proper look-out. The prudent navigator uses all aids available to navigate the ship.
Erroneous information
Erroneous information implies a risk to other ships as well as your own. Poorly configured or improperly calibrated sensors might lead to incorrect information being transmitted. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all information entered into the system is correct and up to date.

Features
The FA-150 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) for open sea and inland waterways, capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. It complies with IMO MSC.74(69) Annex 3, A.694, ITU-R M.1371-4 and DSC ITU-R
M.825. It also complies with IEC 61993-2 (Type testing standard), IEC 60945 (EMC and environmental conditions).
The FA-150 consists of VHF and GPS antennas, a transponder unit, a monitor unit, and several associated units. The transponder contains a VHF transmitter, two TDMA receivers on two parallel
VHF channels, a DSC channel 70 receiver, interface, communication processor, and internal GPS receiver. The internal GPS is a 12-channel all-in-view receiver with a differential capability, and provides UTC reference for system synchronization to eliminate clash among multiple users. It also gives position, COG and SOG when the external GPS fails.

FOREWORD
The main features are:
• Safety of navigation by automatically exchanging navigational data between ships and between ship and coast
• Static data:
- MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
- IMO number (where available)
- Call sign & name
- Length and beam
- Type of ship
- Location of position-fixing antenna on the ship
• Dynamic data:
- Ship’s position with accuracy indication and integrity status
- Universal Time Coordinated (UTC)
- Course over ground (COG)
- Speed over ground (SOG)
- Heading
- Rate of turn (ROT) where available
• Voyage-related data
- Ship’s draught
- Navigation status (manual input)
- Hazardous cargo (type)
- Destination and ETA (at master’s discretion)
• Short safety-related messages, free messages
• LCD panel satisfies the IMO minimum requirements plus simple plotting modes
• Interfaces for radar, ECDIS, PC for future networking expansion
• GPS/VHF combined antenna for easy installation available
• CPA/TCPA alarm
• Built-in GPS receiver for UTC synchronization and backup position-fixing device
• The Inland AIS feature is based on CCNR (Vessel Tracking and Tracing Standard for Inland
Navigation). Inland AIS receives and sends SOLAS AIS information, and interfaces automatic data input such as blue sign, draught (in centimeters), air draught (height from waterline), hazardous cargo blue cone indication, euro ship identifier and inland ship type. Further, the inland
AIS sends ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) to lock, bridge, terminal, etc. and displays response as RTA (Requested Time of Arrival) from the lock, bridge or terminal. Information receivable from land stations include EMMA warning, water level data, etc.

PLOTTER DISPLAY
The startup screen displays the program version number and the results of the ROM,
RAM and backup data test, showing "OK" or "NG" (No Good) as the result. If "NG" appears for any of the check result, try resetting the power to restore normal operation.
If that does not work, contact your dealer for advice. After the startup test is completed the plotter display appears, showing the messages "NO OWN SHIP POSITION
AVAILABLE." and "NOW INITIALIZING." These messages mean that position data has not yet arrived and the transponder is initializing itself, respectively. When both messages disappear, the equipment is ready for use. If the message "ENTER MMSI!" appears, the vessel’s MMSI has not been registered in the equipment. Enter MMSI.
If there is no response from the transponder unit or AIS symbols do not appear, the message “COMMUNICATION ERROR” appears on the screen. Press any key to erase the message. Check if the transponder unit is powered. Also check the connection between the monitor unit and the transponder unit.
1. OPERATION
The FA-150 should be powered while underway or at anchor. The master may switch off the AIS if he believes that the continual operation of the AIS might compromise the safety or security of his ship. The AIS should be restarted once the source of danger has gone.
The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals thereafter. Static data includes MMSI number, IMO number, call sign, ship name, ship length and width, ship type and GPS antenna position.
In addition to static data, ship’s dynamic data is also transmitted. This data includes position with quality indication, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic data is transmitted every 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed and course change. Voyagerelated data, such as ship’s draft, hazardous cargo, destination and estimated time of arrival, are transmitted at six-minute intervals.
The FA-150 starts receiving data from AIS-equipped ships as soon as it is turned on, and those ships’ locations are shown on the plotter display with the AIS symbol. (To
learn more about the plotter display, see section 1.7.) With connection of a radar or
ECDIS, the AIS target symbols may be overlaid on the radar or ECDIS.
Note 1:
If no navigation sensor is installed or a sensor such as a gyrocompass has failed, the AIS automatically transmits “not available data” to AIS-equipped ships.
Note 2:
The reporting intervals are as follows:
Ship’s dynamic conditions and nominal reporting interval

Messages
You may send and receive messages via VHF channels, to a specified MMSI or all
AIS-equipped ships in the area. Messages can be sent to warn of safety of navigation; for example, an iceberg sighted. Routine messages are also permitted.
Short safety-related messages are only an additional means to broadcast safety information. They do not remove the requirements of the GMDSS.
When a message is received, the equipment beeps and the indication "MESSAGE" appears. The contents of the message may be viewed on the RX log.

Regional Operating Channels
AIS operates primarily on two dedicated VHF channels, CH 2087 and CH2088. Where these channels are not available regionally, the AIS is capable of being automatically switched to designated alternate channels by means of a message from a shore facility. Where no shore based AIS or GMDSS sea area A1 station is in place, the AIS
should be switched manually as in paragraph 1.9.2.
A regional operating area is set with the procedure shown below. The most recent eight areas are memorized.
• Automatic setting of VHF DSC (channel 70) from shore-based AIS. A
• Automatic setting by AIS message from shore-based AIS.
• Setting by shipboard system such as ECDIS.
• Manual setting
The default area is as follows:
• Tx power: 12.5 W
• Channel no. 2087, 2088
• Frequency Bandwidth: 25 kHz
• Tx/Rx mode: Tx/Rx

INLAND AIS OPERATION
This section provides the operating procedures for the Inland AIS feature, which allows use of the AIS transponder on inland waterways or the open sea. Only those procedures that are different from the Class A AIS transponder are presented.
Ships with Inland AIS transponders on board autonomously determine their actual position using the Global Positioning System (GPS), which is part of the AIS transponder. Furthermore they broadcast their ID and position to other ships over a distance of
10 to 30 kilometers (depending on the geographical environment). Other ships in the area receive this information and are able to display their own position and that of other ships. Inland AIS helps the skipper in his direct nautical decisions, especially in critical situations, like the approach of a bend or a constriction.
Further, authorities have the possibility to allow electronic submission of cargo lists e.g. for transports of dangerous cargo. The standard for “Electronic Reporting” (ERI) allows the digital, language independent submission of cargo or passenger reports from ships or agencies to authorities. In combination with electronic data exchange between the authorities of different countries this results in less reporting for the skippers. On the other hand all cargo information is available to authorities in case of an accident.

Detection of TDMA RX malfunction
Frequency error
PLL chip on receiver board generates lock or unlock signal for synthesizer.
MPU watches and sets status flag which reflects data of ALR sentence.
ID 003 for RX1, ID 004 for RX2
2)
Detection of DSC RX malfunction
General error
DSC Error (ID: 005) will happen in case of DSC MPU could not receive format specifier of the data from DSC amplifier unless RSSI exists more than 90 seconds.
Note 2:
Detection of TX malfunction
MPU detects TX malfunction (ID:001) in the following cases:
1) The signal indicated "LOCK" is not received from the PLL chip on the TX board.
2) The voltage of monitoring signal on the TX board is abnormal. The reason for TX board malfunction can be a hardware problem or software problem causing a continuous transmission that exceeds 250 msec.
Note:
The hardware stops automatically because of the continuous transmission.

This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1). Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO
Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location photo on page AP-6 and AP-7.
