The transmission of vessel name, call sign, size, position, and more makes
the TRACKER SM150 a comprehensive tracking system. And now, with
Short Text Messaging (STM), communication is easier than ever.
FEATURES
oLocal Asset Tracking
oInstalls in minutes
oLow Cost
oShort Text Messaging (STM)
INTERFACE
oAIS: NMEA 0183 HS V3.0 / IEC 61162
oMURS: RS232
WHY MURS?
Multi-Use Radio Service, or MURS, is a group of VHF frequencies reserved
for private, two-way communications. The TRACKER SM150 utilizes these
frequencies for the automatic transmission of vessel identification data,
making it a cutting-edge tool to assist with asset tracking, collision avoidance,
law enforcement, and port security. Though a majority of commercial vessels
are required to operate an AIS, Class A systems are expensive, complicated,
and not required on all vessels, and Class B systems are not yet available.
By transponding on MURS channels and receiving on AIS channels the
TRACKER provides boaters with an immediately available, low cost
solution for tracking commercial marine activity as well as their own vessel
and other assets like life rafts and kayaks. And unlike the AIS channels,
MURS channels allow for STM activity, enabling you to stay in touch through
text messages much like the internet or a cell phone.

Logical Serial Interface Details:
The logical serial interface of the SM150 is a subset of IEC
specification 61993-2, using a 38.4 kbps connection to a host
computer. The received AIS messages are output using the
VDM sentence, and GPS location data is output using the
NMEA 0183 sentences.
To request full serial interface specifications, please e-mail
[email protected] or call Shine Micro at [phone].
Simple Marine Installation
1.Attach the SM150 to a standard
1” x 14 threaded antenna mount.
2.Connect the power cable to a 12
volt power source.
3.Connect the ground lug to a solid
ground.
Optionally connect the serial interface cable to a
PC for STM applications and visual display.
