1.1 Safety warnings
1.2 General notices
Position source
All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceivers utilise
a satellite based location system such as the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) network.
The accuracy of a GPS position fix is variable and is affected by
factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are
used to determine a position and for how long satellite information
has been received.
Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.5m or greater for 0.3°
deviation.
RF emissions notice
Caution: The AIS transceiver generates and radiates radio
frequency electromagnetic energy. This equipment must be
installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this
manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and / or AIS
transceiver malfunction.
Caution: Never operate the AIS transceiver unless it is connected to
a VHF antenna.
To maximise performance and minimise human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy you must make sure that the
antenna is mounted at least 1.5 meters away from the AIS
transceiver and is connected to the AIS transceiver before power is
applied. The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)
radius of 1.5m. This has been determined assuming the maximum
power of the AIS transceiver and using antennas with a maximum
gain of 3dBi. The antenna should be mounted 3.5m above the deck
in order to meet RF exposure requirements. Higher gain antennas
will require a greater MPE radius. Do not operate the unit when
anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna (unless they are
shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier).
The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other transmitting antenna.
The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

2 About your AIS class B
transceiver
2.1 About AIS
The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and
vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with
AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update
their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel
identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from the
Global Positioning System (GPS) and communication between
vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.
Figure 1 The AIS network
There are a number of types of AIS device as follows:
•Class A transceivers. These are similar to class B transceivers,
but are designed to be fitted to large vessels such as cargo ships
and large passenger vessels. Class A transceivers transmit at a
higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore
can be received by more distant vessels, and also transmit more
frequently. Class A transceivers are mandatory on all vessels
over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages and certain types
of passenger vessels under the SOLAS mandate.
•Class B transceivers. Similar to class A transceivers in many
ways, but are normally lower cost due to the less stringent
performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a
lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A
transceivers.
•AIS basestations. AIS basestations are used by Vessel Traffic
Systems to monitor and control the transmissions of AIS
transceivers.
•Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoNs are
transceivers mounted on buoys or other hazards to shipping
which transmit details of their location to the surroundingvessels.
•AIS receivers. AIS receivers will generally receive transmissions
from class A transceivers, class B transceivers, AtoNs and AIS
basestations but do not transmit any information about the vessel
on which they are installed.
The em-trak B212 is a Class B AIS transceiver.

2.2 Static and dynamic vessel data
There are two categories of information transmitted by an
AIS transceiver
: static and dynamic data.
The vessel's dynamic data, which includes location, speed over
ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG), is calculated
automatically using the internal GPS receiver.
Static data is information about the vessel which must be
programmed into the AIS transceiver. This includes:
• Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)
• Vessel name
• Vessel call sign (if available)
• Vessel type
• Vessel dimensions
In most countries the operation of an AIS transceiver is included
under the vessel's marine VHF licence provisions. The vessel on to
which the AIS unit is to be installed must therefore possess a
current VHF radiotelephone licence which lists the AIS system,
vessel Call Sign and MMSI number.
!
An MMSI number is required in order for the AIS
transceiver to operate. Please contact the relevant
authority in your country for more information.

Step 2 - Installing the GPS antenna
For mounting of the GPS antenna provided with your AIS
transceiver you will require a one inch 14 TPI thread pole.
You should ensure the GPS antenna has a good clear view of the
entire sky.
It is not recommended that the GPS antenna is mounted up a mast
where the motion of the vessel will cause the antenna to swing and
potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position.
Do not mount your antenna in the direct path of a radar transmitter.
Feed the ten metre long cable attached to the GPS antenna cable
through the pole and screw the antenna onto the pole mount as
shown in Figure 8.
Route the cable to your AIS transceiver unit, adding any necessary
extension cables.

Step 5 - Connecting mode switches
The mode switches connector (green label) provides connections
for two toggle switches (not supplied). These switches can be used
to control the AIS transceiver silent mode and transmitter power
mode. When enabled, silent mode will block all transmissions from
your AIS transceiver. You will continue to receive position reports
from other AIS equipped vessels.
Warning: Your AIS position is not visible to other AIS
equipped vessels when silent mode is active.
The transmitter power mode switch is used to adjust the transmitter
power between 2W (Class B default) and 12.5W (high power
mode). Use of the high power transmit mode may be subject to
authorisation by the relevant local authority.
Switch connections can either be made using the 9 way D-type
connector provided, or by cutting off the connector and connecting
the wires according to the colour code in the tables below. The

Step 6 - Connecting to a PC
The AIS transceiver is supplied with an RS232 port for connection
to a PC. The RS232 connector (red label) can be connected directly
to the RS232 port on the PC or via a serial to USB converter if no
RS232 port is available. For configuration of the AIS transceiver it is
necessary to connect to a PC if your AIS transceiver has not been
pre-configured by your dealer. See section 4 for more details of
configuration. The RS232 connection is also described in Figure 13.
Figure 13 RS232 connection
Step 7 - Connecting to a power supply
The AIS transceiver requires a 12V power supply typically provided
by the vessel's battery.
It is recommended that crimped and soldered lugs are used to
connect the AIS transceiver to the power source. It is recommended
that the power supply is connected via a suitable circuit breaker
and/or 3A fuse block.
1. Connect the red wire to a 12V power supply positive terminal.
2. Connect the black wire to the supply negative terminal.

4.1 Switching on your AIS transceiver
for the first time
A few seconds after applying power to the AIS transceiver for the
first time all five indicators will blink twice. The indicator sequence
following this will depend on whether your transceiver is pre-
configured.
Transceiver is pre-configured:
The amber indicator will illuminate until the transceiver has
transmitted an AIS message.
Transceiver is not pre-configured:
The amber and red indicator will illuminate. This indicates the unit
cannot transmit until it is configured with a valid MMSI.
