AIS Description
1.3.1.
Compact Design
The completely self--contained L--3 ProTec is the most compact AIS unit available on
the market today with outside dimensions of 6.5” W (16.5 cm) x 3.4” H (8.6 cm) x
7.4” D (18.8 cm). It is easily mounted on any surface using either a trunion bracket
or flush--mount bracket. The data port on the faceplate provides for easy connection
to any external display in either mounting configuration.

Integral Minimum Keyboard Display (MKD)
In line with the compact design, the L--3 ProTec is a single--box design incorporating
an integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant. The interface includes a of 2.58” L (6.5
cm) x 1.16” H (2.9 cm) (160 x 64 Dots) backlit LCD screen for displaying alphanu-
meric text and a multifunction keypad. The closest three vessels within AIS range
will be displayed with each vessel identified by MMSI and ship name and will display
both range and bearing to each vessel.

The interface has been designed to facilitate data entry and retrieval with a minimum
of keystrokes. It also includes a Pilot port designed to allow any user to quickly and
easily attach a portable AIS--compatible display system directly to the AIS trans-
ponder for display of the AIS data. This display system can consist of any system
which recognizes the NMEA AIS string whether it’s installed on a handheld PC, lap-
top PC, or dedicated display.

Integral GPS
The L--3 ProTec includes an internal GPS receiver card. The internal GPS provides
timing data required for synchronization of transmission. By specifications, ship posi-
tional information in NMEA format is to be fed to the transponder from the ships ex-
ternal electronic position indicating system through the supplied data cable. The in-
ternal GPS requires a dedicated GPS antenna to be mounted on the superstructure
and the appropriate connections are supplied on the transponder unit back panel.

Data Interface
Each transponder will be delivered with an IEC--specified NMEA standard data cable
required to interface to ship’s sensors and external display. The description of this
interface cable is given in the Installation Section of this manual. The standard kit
includes an eight (8) ft. (2.5 meters) cable and a terminal block to facilitate the final
linkup to the ship’s navigational instruments.
