Features  
The FA-150 is a universal AIS (Automatic Identification System) 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.1371-1 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.

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

Transponder  
Static and Dynamic information incl.  
MMSI, Name, POSN, HDG, COG, SOG  
Interrogation and Response  
Own ship  
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.

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 fast 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.

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” (No Good) appears for any of the check results, 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 vessel’s MMSI is not  
registered in the equipment, 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 disappeared.  
The equipment transmits own ship static data within two minutes of start-up  
and it is transmitted at six-minute intervals. 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 accuracy, SOG, COG, rate of turn, heading, etc. Dynamic  
data is transmitted every 2 s to 3 min depending on ship’s speed, course  
change. Voyage-related 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’ location on the plotter display is shown with the AIS  
symbol. (To learn more about the plotter display, see paragraph 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.  
Note 2: The reporting intervals are as follows:

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  
Automatic setting by AIS message from shore-based AIS

Monitor unit,  
Dirt and dust should be removed from units with a soft, dry  
Transponder unit cloth. For the LCD, wipe it carefully to prevent scratching,  
using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt  
deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tissue paper  
so as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so  
the salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use solvents  
such as thinner, acetone or benzene for cleaning any unit; they  
can remove paint and marks and deform the equipment.
