[. . . ] The cable should not be installed close to high-power lines, such as radar or radio-transmitter lines, or near the AIS VHF antenna cable. A space of one meter or more is recommended in order to avoid degradation due to RF-coupling. Crossing of antenna cables should take place at 90 degrees, to minimize magnetic field coupling. Attenuation As described above, the resulting installation gain should be between 0 to 10 dB. If the internal GPS receiver will be overloaded with more than 18dB, then it could be damaged.

Antenna Layout The position of the VHF and GNSS ­ antennas must be added to the existing antenna layout of the vessel. 3. 14 Power Supply The NAUTICAST must be supplied from the emergency power source. A further requirement is to connect AIS to the reserve power source of the GMDSS. A new battery capacity calculation must then be undertaken. See sample in 9. 1 (Samples for battery calculation) Following documents are needed for the installation approval of the classification · Antenna Layout (arrangement) · Battery Calculation · Connection / Block ­ Diagram with locations · Type Approval Certificate Installation Manual 31 Y1-03-0212 Rev. B 4 Starting the NAUTICAST 4. 1 Initial Set Up of the NAUTICAST for operation ATTENTION: AUTHORITIES MANADATE THAT YOU ENTER THIS INFORMATION. After installing the antennas and hardware the following User, Voyage related and Ship Settings data needs to be entered. Upon Start-up (Applying power) enter the following information. a) Enter MMSI Number - See paragraph 4. 2 on entering information. During the initial boot or after "factory settings" the user is asked to enter a valid MMSI number. As long as this is not done, the system does not transmit. This appears as Alarm-ID 56 with the text "AIS: ENTER MMSI NUMBER".
