When reading this manual please pay attention to the warnings marked with the
warning triangle shown on the left. These are important messages for safety,
installation and usage of the product.
1.1 Safety warnings
This equipment must be installed in accordance with the instructions provided in
this manual.
The em-trak R100 is an aid to navigation and must not be relied upon to provide
accurate navigation information. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human
lookouts and other navigation aids such as Radar. The performance of the R100
may be seriously impaired if not installed as instructed in the user manual, or due
to other factors such as weather and or nearby transmitting devices. Compatibility
with other systems may vary and is reliant on the third party systems recognising
the standard outputs from the R100. em-trak reserves the right to update and
change these specifications at any time and without notice.
Do not install this equipment in a flammable atmosphere such as in an engine
room or near to fuel tanks.
1.2 General notices
Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.2m or greater for 0.3° deviation.
RF emissions notice
Caution: The AIS receiver generates and radiates radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This
equipment must be installed and operated according to the instructions contained in this manual.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and / or AIS receiver malfunction.
Caution: The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
transmitting antenna. The required antenna impedance is 50Ohms.

2 About your AIS receiver
2.1 About AIS
The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting
system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly
update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly
equipped vessels. Position is derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and
communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.
There are a number of types of AIS device as follows:
•Class A transceivers. These are similar to class B transceivers, but are designed to be
fitted to large vessels such as cargo ships and large passenger vessels. Class A
transceivers transmit at a higher VHF signal power than class B transceivers and therefore
can be received by more distant vessels, and also transmit more frequently. Class A
transceivers are mandatory on all vessels over 300 gross tonnes on international voyages
and certain types of passenger vessels under the SOLAS mandate.
•Class B transceivers. Similar to class A transceivers in many ways, but are normally lower
cost due to the less stringent performance requirements. Class B transceivers transmit at a
lower power and at a lower reporting rate than class A transceivers.
•AIS base stations. AIS base stations are used by Vessel Traffic Systems to monitor and
control the transmissions of AIS transceivers.
•Aids to Navigation (AtoN) transceivers. AtoNs are transceivers mounted on buoys or
other hazards to shipping which transmit details of their location to the surrounding vessels.
•AIS receivers. AIS receivers will generally receive transmissions from class A transceivers,
class B transceivers, AtoNs and AIS base stations but do not transmit any information about
the vessel on which they are installed.
The em-trak R100 is a dual channel AIS receiver.
2.2 Static and dynamic vessel data
There are two categories of information transmitted by an AIS transceiver: static and dynamic
data.
The vessel's dynamic data, which includes location, speed over ground (SOG) and course over
ground (COG), is calculated automatically using the internal GPS receiver.

Static data is information about the vessel which must be programmed into an AIS transceiver.
This includes:
• Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)
•Vesselname
• Vessel call sign (if available)
• Vessel type
• Vessel dimensions
