The mains must be switched off (e.g. by means of a
common isolating switch or a circuit breaker) in the ship’s
supply or the mains cable must be disconnected until
setting-to-work takes place.
If a synchro is connected to the Analog Interface or Inter-
face Expander, dangerous voltages might be present, even
although all supplies to the system are switched off.
Capacitors and tubes can store dangerous voltages for
several hours, even when they have been disconnected
from the supply voltage.
WARNING
Pay attention to the regulations for the prevention of acci-
dents.
DANGER
Even when the system is switched off, there might be a
dangerous voltage present on exposed contacts. Therefore,
before a unit is opened, it must be ensured that the elec-
trical supply to all units is, and remains, disconnected from
the ship’s mains.

2Overview
The 3410 is an AIS Electronics Unit which receives data from other vessels by means of a VHF radio
and sends these data to the radar/navigation system. In the opposite direction, the AIS receives data from
the radar/navigation system and the ship’s sensors and transmits these data by means of the VHF radio.
Access to these data and access to the VHF radio for a pilot is prepared by means of an additional pilot
port.
The AIS has a long range port to connect a long distance communication system, for instance a satellite
communication system. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. These data are sent
back via the long range port to the questioner.
The AIS 3410 is equipped with a 16 channel GPS receiver and provides position data according to IEC
61162 Edition 3, so that it is suitable for the use as a position sensor. In areas where the VTS stations
provide differential correction data via VHF link the AIS 3410 switches automatically into DGPS mode.
For further details see Section 4.
2.1 Compatibility with Other Systems
The AIS 3410 can be used in the following system:
- RADARPILOT/CHARTRADAR 1000/1100
-NACOSxx-5
-NACOSxx-4
- CHARTPILOT Stand-alone
- NACOS xx-3 (Radar 9xxx AIS Interface needed for the display of AIS targets at Radar 9xxx indica-
tors and MULTIPILOTs in radar mode)
- mixed systems consisting of Radar 9xxx and RADARPILOT 1000
- Radar 9xxx (with Radar 9xxx AIS Interface)
The AIS might not work with SAM Electronics systems/components which are running with older software
versions. For further information, see the Technical Manuals of these systems or the Software Release
Notes.
It is also possible to use the AIS 3410 within systems from other manufacturers which support the IEC-
defined interfaces.

The AIS 3410 is connected to the CHARTPILOT via Ethernet LAN.
The ship’s sensors are connected to the Ship’s Interface. The sensor data are transferred to the AIS, to
the CHARTPILOT and to other radars or MULTIPILOTs.
If two Ship’s Interfaces are existing because of redundancy purposes, the ship’s sensor output(s) of both
Ship’s Interfaces must be connected to the Electronics Unit.
Without the Radar 9xxx AIS Interface it is not possible to display the AIS data at the Radar 9xxx or at the
MULTIPILOT 91x0 in radar mode. One interface is sufficient for the complete system, regardless of the
number of Radars 9xxx/MULTIPILOTs.
NOTE:
If the AIS Electronics Unit receives the ship’s sensor data from Ship’s Interface, the output interfaces of
the Ship’s Interface must be configured as follows:
- Select "IEC 61162-1 edition 3, 04/2007 (NMEA0183 version 3.01)" as driver

data can be displayed also at the Radar 9xxx (or at a MULTPILOT 91x0). It is not necessary to install
the Radar 9xxx AIS Interface. If the RADARPILOT 1000/1100 is connected via LAN instead of Primary
Display Port, the AIS data is not available on CAN1 for the Radar 9xxx.
The ship’s sensors are connected to the Ship’s Interface. The sensor data are transferred to the AIS, to
the CHARTPILOT and to a MULTIPILOT.
NOTE:
If the AIS Electronics Unit receives the ship’s sensor data from Ship’s Interface, the output interfaces of
the Ship’s Interface must be configured as follows:
- Select "IEC 61162-1 edition 3, 04/2000 (NMEA0183 version 3.01)" as driver
- Set a repetition interval of 1 s for the following telegrams:
-GLL
-VTG
- HDT
-ROT
- VBW (if bottom-track log is available)
