System Overview
Th e R4-A IS Clas s A Transpo nder Sys tem co nsists ofa radio transceiver unit, a GP S
receiver, a contro ller unit and a separate displav (MK D) un it. T he transceive r co nsist of
on e trans m itter and three independen t VHF receiver s, two tunable TD MA receivers and
on e DSC receiver. Th e tran smitter alternates its transm issio ns be tween the two operati ng
TDMA channels and can also be used to reply a DSC interrogation (ITU-R M.825-3,
Anne x I). Th e co ntro ller unit creates and schedules data packets (containi ng dynamic,
static and voyage renlted dat a) for transmission base d on the IMO performance standard
for A IS.
Th e R4-A IS sha ll be con nected to the ship's senso rs as requi red by the insta llation guide-
lines publ ished by lALA. T he R4-A IS can interface external navigat ion and prese ntatio n
sys tems tha t support requi red IEC 6 1162- 1 sentences as set out in R4-A IS Installat io n
Man ual. Th e R4 Tran sponder is prepared for connect ion to Long Range systems like
Inrnarsat C.
Th e R4 Disp lay has a user-friendl y interface for plotting of other ships on a radar-like
display, as well as a display of listed information abou t ot her vessels sorted by range or
by bea ring. The display is also used for confi gura tion and send ing/receiving messag es.

Reading Remote Ship Information
The R4 Display will power up in Target List view. This view, also referred to as the
minimal display, displays a list of all targets sorted by range from own ship (closest first).
The Iist includes MMSI, ship's name, range (RNG) and bearing (BRG). The total number
of ships in the list will be shown in the upper right corner of the list and the index of the
currently selected ship will be shown on the right side. By toggling the (Sort By Bearing)
/ (Sort By Range] function key the list will be sorted either by range or by bearing. If the
Iist is sorted by bearing, the start bearing will be in own COG direction. Each bearing sec-
tor covers 30 and moving through the sectors is done in 15 steps by using the function
keys 1_15 -j.and 1+15 -->1.

Alarm Description
Tx Malfunction
A Tx Malfunction alarm is generated if there is a malfunction in the radio transmitter
hardware or if the antenna VSWR exceeds an allowed ratio. If the radio transmitter returns
to normal operation or if VSWR returns to a value below the allowed treshold, the alarm
is cleared.
Rx Malfunctions
The radio receivers are continously monitored and if any part of the receivers hardware
should malfunction, a Rx Malfunction alarm is generated for that receiver. If the radio
receiver returns to normal operation, the alarm is cleared.
General Failure
This alarm is generated if the R4-AIS Transponder fails to initiate the radio. Ifthis alarm
occurs, contact your retailer.
