Chapter 3: Installation
3.1 Selecting a location
General location requirements
When selecting a location for your NAVIOM AIS it is important to consider a number of factors.
• GPS Signal Access - Open and clear of metal obstructions that could block line-of-sight to the sky.
Can be placed placement behind plastic and wooden structures that do not impede the spread of
the radio signal.
• Wi-Fi signal access - Place NAVIOM AIS not further than 10m (30 feet) from your Wi-Fi router or the
place where you will connect to the device via Wi-Fi. There should be no large metal structures
between the device and the Wi-Fi router, that shield the radio signal.
• Water ingress —Although the NAVIOM AIS is waterproof, it is good practice to locate it in a
protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray.
• Ventilation — To ensure adequate airflow:
– Ensure that NAVIOM AIS is mounted in a compartment of suitable size.
– Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed. Allow adequate separation of all equipment.
• Electrical interference — Select a location that is far enough away from devices that may cause
interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters / receivers.
• Power supply — Select a location that is as close as possible to the vessel’s DC power source. This
will help to keep cable runs to a minimum.
• Diagnostics — The NAVIOM AIS must be mounted in a location where diagnostics LED are easily
visible.
• Mounting surface — Ensure the NAVIOM AIS is adequately supported on a secure surface. Do not
mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the structure of the vessel.
• Cabling — Ensure the NAVIOM AIS is mounted in a location which allows proper routing, support
and connection of cables:
– Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) unless otherwise stated.
– Use cable clips to prevent stress on connectors.
– If your installation requires multiple ferrites to be added to a cable then additional cable clips
should be used to ensure the extra weight of the cable is supported.
Warning: Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do
NOT install in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere (such as in an engine room or
near fuel tanks).

GPS antenna location requirements
The NAVIOM AIS includes a built-in GPS receiver and a built-in GPS antenna. GPS antenna is
installed under the NAVIOM AIS lid indicated on the picture.
Ensure that the selected mounting location is:
• Open and clear all metal obstructions that could block line-of-sight to the sky. Can be placed only
behind plastic and wooden structures, that do not impede the transmission of the radio signal.
• As low as possible, to keep the antenna as stable as possible. The more stable the antenna, the
more effectively it will track satellites and provide stable data.
• As far as possible (at least 1 m (3 ft)) from other antennae and electronic equipment.
Do NOT mount the antenna:
• In any area where it could be stepped on or tripped over.
• Up a mast. This will cause the antenna to swing and give significant errors in position data.
• In the direct path of a Radar beam.
EMC installation guidelines
Naviom Electronics® equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and
minimize the effect such interference could have on the performance of your system
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible:
• Naviom Electronics® equipment and cables connected to it are:
– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios,
cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft).
– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a Radar beam. A Radar beam can normally be assumed to
spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
• The NAVIOM AIS is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is
important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not
have a separate battery.
Note: In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slight interference may be noticed. Where this
occurs the NAVIOM AIS and the source of the interference should be separated by a greater
distance.
Important: The device should be placed either vertically or horizontally with a lid NAVIOM up (as
shown on the picture). It is not allowed to mount the device with the lid NAVIOM down, in this
case the GPS antenna will not be able to receive the signal from the GPS satellites.

10
• Naviom Electronics® specified cables are used.
Suppression ferrites
• Use data cables with pre-fitted or supplied with suppression ferrites. These are importantfor correct
EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit
the supplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions.
• If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it must be replaced
in the original position before the product is used.
• Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to be added to a cable, additional cable clips should
be used to prevent stress on the connectors due to the extra weight of the ferrites.
RF interference
Certain third-party external electrical equipment can cause Radio Frequency (RF) interference with
GPS, AIS or VHF devices if the external equipment is not adequately insulated and emits excessive
levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Some common examples of such external equipment include LED spot or strip lights, and terrestrial
TV tuners.
To minimize interference from such equipment:
• Keep it as far away from GPS, AIS or VHF devices as possible.
• Ensure that any power cables for external equipment are not entangled with the power or data
cables for GPS, AIS or VHF devices.
• Consider fitting one or more high frequency suppression ferrites to the EMI-emitting device. The
ferrite(s) should be rated to be effective in the range 100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, and should be fitted to
the power cable and any other cables exiting the EMI-emitting device, as close as possible to the
position where the cable exits the device.
Compass safe distance
To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance
is maintained from the NAVIOM AIS.
When choosing a suitable location for the NAVIOM AIS you should aim to maintain the maximum
possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all
directions.
However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the NAVIOM AIS this far away from
a compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location, ensure that the compass is not
affected by the NAVIOM AIS when it is in a powered state.
Note: Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations,
always ensure the maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment,
to provide the best conditions for EMC performance throughout the installation

11
3.2 Mounting the NAVIOM AIS
Before mounting the NAVIOM AIS ensure that you have:
• selected a suitable location (a clear, flat surface is required).
• Identified the relevant cable connections and the route that the cable will take.
1. Using the NAVIOM AIS as a guide, mark the location of the mounting holes on the mounting
surface.
2. Drill holes for the mounting fixings using a 3.5 - 4 mm drill bit.
3. Connect the necessary cables. The power cable must be disconnected during installation!
4. Screw all the fixings approximately half way into the holes in the mounting surface.
5. Fully tighten the screws. Don't tighten too much it can damage the case tightness and damage
the device.
NAVIOM AIS dimensions
Important:
Use only a hand screwdriver to screw in the mounting screws. An electric tool may tighten the
screw too much and damage the case or its tightness. The fixing screws must not be too tight.
After installation, do not push on the device case or pull on the cables. Cables must have free
play.
During operation it is not allowed to distort the case of device. When choosing a mounting space,
consider the temperature deformations of materials and the displacement of the hull elements
during its movement.

Note: Despite the fact that NAVIOM AIS is equipped with moisture-proof connectors, to increase
the service life of the device, we recommend that when connecting the connectors to the device,
wear a heat-shrink tube, containing adhesive. To seal the connection, the tube must be uniformly
heated to a temperature of 130 - 160 degrees Celsius or 270 - 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Be careful
not to overheat the connector or the body of the device when heating the tube. Under the
influence of high temperature, the plastic case of the device may melt, change color, deform,
and lose tightness.

4.2 Universal power/data connector
1. Cable gland
2. Connector parsing ring
3. Ring fixing connector on the device
Connecting cable to the connector
1. Unscrew ring 1 and ring 2. Carefully remove the sealing elements located behind ring 1. Remember
the orientation and sequence of the sealing elements.
2. Check the cable. It must be disconnected from the data lines and -be off power line. Connecting the
connector to a live cable is dangerous to your health. A short circuit may cause a fire or damage the
equipment of your boat.
3. Thread the cable through ring 1, the sealing elements, and the connector case. Pay attention to the
correct installation of the sealing elements and ring 1 (they must be put on the cable in the reverse
order).
4. Strip the cable and using the screwdriver that comes with the connector, connect the cable to the
connector terminals according to the diagram below. For additional protection of the cable and
connector against corrosion, we recommend to treatthe cable and connector terminals with anti-
corrosion for electrical connections.
5. Gently push the cable through the connector case and tighten the ring 2. Make sure that the cable
does not come out of the connector terminals.
6. Screw on the ring 1. The sealing elements behind the ring 1 should tighten the cable tightly to
prevent moisture from entering the connector housing. Do not overtighten ring 1 and ring 2, but make
sure they are tightened securely.
Important: Damage of the connector, cable, or improper installation of the sealing elements can
lead to communication interruptions, short circuits, or equipment malfunctions over time. In the
case of absence of experience in installing electrical equipment, we recommend to contact a
qualified professional.

4.3 General cabling guidance
Routing cables
Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize performance and prolong cable life.
• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a minimum bend diameter of 200
mm (8 in) / minimum bend radius of 100 mm (4 in).
• Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat. Use trunking or conduit where
possible. Do NOT run cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the
way.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertight feed-
through.
• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.
Always route data cables as far away as possible from:
• Other equipment and cables.
• High current carrying ac and dc power lines.
• Antennas.
Strain relief
Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors from strain and ensure they will not pull
out under extreme sea conditions.
Important: When working with the Power/data connector, make sure to disconnect cables from
the data lines and especially from the power line. This can harm your health and damage your
property.
Note: The NMEA2000 bus terminals on the universal power/data connector are wired for test
purposes. Although they are fully functional, we recommend to use the dedicated NMEA2000
Micro-C M12 5-pin connector in conjunction with the NMEA2000 DeviceNet cables. Cable
lengths up to NMEA2000 backbone must not exceed 6m (20 feet).
Connector (inner part)

15
Cable shielding
Ensure that all data cables are properly shielded that the cable shielding is intact (e.g. hasn’t been
scraped off by being squeezed through a tight area).
4.4 Power connection
Connection to the power supply is possible both through the universal power/data connector and
directly via the NMEA2000 bus. The NMEA2000 bus specification provides power for devices
connected to the bus. If only the NMEA2000 bus is used and the NMEA0183 bus is not used, then the
universal power/data connector can be not used.
1. Power/data M12 8-pin connector (supplied)
2. Power supply – (Negative) Black wire (not supplied)
3. Power supply + (Positive) Red wire (not supplied)
4. Inline waterproof fuse 2A (supplied)
5. Suitable waterproof connection (not supplied)
6. Power source (12/24 V dc) (not supplied)
Power cable
Ensure you observe the following advice:
• The power cable for each unit in your system should be run as a separate, single length of 2-wire
cable from the unit to the vessel's battery or distribution panel.
• For power cable extensions, it is recommended that a minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.3 mm2).
For cable runs longer than 15 meters, you may need to consider a thicker wire gauge (e.g. 14 AWG
(2.1 mm2), or 12 AWG (3.3 mm2) ).
Important: Be aware that some products in your system (such as sonar modules) can create
voltage peaks at certain times, which may impact the voltage available to other products during
the peaks.
Important: When connecting to a 24V dc power line, make sure that the line voltage does not
exceed the maximum allowable for the 28V device. The voltage in the power line may rise during
the battery charging process. If the voltage can exceed 28V, then it is necessary to use a step-
down voltage converter to reduce the supply voltage of the device to 12V, the output power of
the converter must be more than 15 watts.
Important: Use only one power line connection. If you connect to the NMEA2000 bus via the
NMEA2000 Micro-C M12 5-pin connector, do not connect the power line through the universal
power/data connector.

16
An important requirement for all lengths of power cable (including any extension) is to ensure that
there is a continuous minimum voltage of 10.8 V at the product’s power connector, with a fully flat
battery at 11 V.
More information
It is recommended that best practice is observed in all vessel electrical installations, as detailed in the
following standards:
• BMEA Code of Practice for Electrical and Electronic Installations in Boats
• NMEA 0400 Installation Standard
• ABYC E-11 AC & DC Electrical Systems on Boats
• ABYC A-31 Battery chargers and Inverters
• ABYC TE-4 Lightning Protection
4.5 NMEA 2000 connection
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed and
connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single physical bus at any
one time, with each node being physically addressable. The standard was specifically intended to
allow for a whole network of marine electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common
bus via standardized message types and formats.
The NAVIOM AIS can transmit data to devices connected on NMEA2000 CAN bus networks. The
NAVIOM AIS is connected to NMEA2000 bus by the DeviceNet cable (not supplied) or by universal
power/data connector.
4.6 NMEA 0183 connection
The NAVIOM AIS can transmit data to devices connected via NMEA 0183. The NAVIOM AIS is
connected to NMEA 0183 by universal power/data connector .
The NAVIOM AIS includes one one-directional NMEA 0183 port. The baud rate for port can be changed
by configuration interface.
Note:
1. The NAVIOM AIS must be connected to a correctly terminated NMEA2000 backbone. You
cannot connect your NAVIOM AIS directly to a MFD by NMEA2000 bus.
2. Refer to the instructions supplied with your MFD for details on creating a NMEA2000
backbone.
Note: Whilst it is possible to output both AIS and GNSS data, it is NOT recommended that you
output GNSS data to external devices as this can cause data conflicts and / or performance
issues. The ability to output GNSS data is intended for diagnostics purposes only.
Important:
To avoid potential data conflicts or loops multiple network protocols should not be connected to
the same device i.e.:
• Do NOT connect the NAVIOM AIS to a MFD using NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 connections at
the same time.
• Do NOT connect the NAVIOM AIS to a VHF Radio using NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
connections at the same time.
• If you are connecting to an AIS capable VHF Radio, you must disable the VHF Radio’s AIS
function first. Refer to your Radio’s documentation for details on disabling the AIS function.

17
To connect NAVIOM AIS to the device via NMEA0183, connect as follows: the “OUT -” NAVIOM AIS
terminal must be connected to the “IN -” or “A” terminal of the device to which you are connecting,
respectively, the “OUT +” terminal of NAVIOM AIS must be connected to the “IN +” or “B” terminal of
the device.
4.7 VHF antenna connection
Connect a VHF antenna (not supplied) to your NAVIOM AIS using the VHF antenna connection.
Use a marine-only VHF antenna and 50 Ohm cable, otherwise the NAVIOM AIS may fail.
Try to place the VHF antenna as high as possible; this affects the distance at which the signal from
other ships will be received, and the distance at which you will be seen. Use a high-quality RF cable
with a low attenuation the cable to the antenna should be as short as possible to reduce signal
attenuation.
Place the NAVIOM AIS VHF antenna from the VHF Radio antenna at different heights and distances
of at least 3m (10 feet) or use the VHF splitter to connect NAVIOM AIS and VHF Radio to the same
antenna. Equipment may fail if two antennas are placed close to each other.
Avoid placing the NAVIOM AIS VHF antenna near the path of a Radar beam.
VHF antenna requirements
The VHF antenna should meet the following requirements:
Frequency band 156.025 MHz to 162.025 MHz
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) should not exceed 2:1
Impedance 50 Ohm
Connector PL-259

In the “Naviom AIS configuration” section, you need to enter information on your vessel that will be
transmitted via AIS radio channels to other vessels. To transmit the information entered in this section,
the “AIS data transmission” field in the “Radio mode” item must be selected.
Vessel name
This point defines the name of the vessel in accordance with its registration data. Please note that the
maximum allowable length defined by the AIS protocol specification is 20 characters. Only the
following characters may be used: “A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [\] ^ -! ”# $%
&` () * +, -. / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9:; <=>? (space)”. All alphabetic characters are not case-sensitive (uppercase
or lowercase) and are transmitted only as uppercase letters. If your ship’s name contains characters
that are not listed above or your ship’s name is longer than 20 characters, you should indicate it in
this field so that other ships can identify you by comparing your name indicated on the device with
the name on hull of your ship. Also, the name indicated in this field can be used when trying to
establish a radio connection with you and you should be prepared to hear this name on the radio.
MMSI number
A MMSI is a 9 digit number which is sent over a radio frequency channel in order to identify the
originating vessel/station. If your vessel already has a MMSI number (used for a VHF DSC radio) then
the same MMSI number must be used.
Important: When changing the settings of any sections, click the "Save" button. Changes to the
device configuration will be made only within this section. Do not make changes to multiple
sections at once.
Warning: MMSI number
You can change MMSI number not more than one time per month. The MMSI
change limitation is regulated by AIS specification. Be careful when entering
data, check it before saving.
To change the MMSI device must synchronize the time via GPS.
