2 Product name : AIS
3 Model number : JHS-182, NTE-183-2
4 Details
4.1 Symptoms
We have informed and requested to use the transponder of JHS-183 (NTE-183-2) when replacing the transponder
for JHS-182 (NTE-182), because of the discontinued production of AIS transponder (NTE-182), (Technical
Information : JD-1390-19)
However, malfunction may occurs when JHS-182 is equipped with NTE-183-2.
The status displayed on the AIS controller (NCM-779) for UTC CLOCK will be "UTC CLOCK: LOST", and
"INT GPS: NG SAT.RCV." may be displayed as a result of self-diagnosis.
2) Software for solving this malfunction will be released at the end of February 2020. Software upgrade
procedures and details will be included in the following software release technical information.
