The data registered here is transmitted as static data: MSG-5 every 6 minutes, and the
receiver can calculate the ship length and the width from this data. The antenna position
data is the data of either external or internal GPS used for the present position report
message.

3.2.3 SET SHIP TYPE Setting

The type of ship such as cargo ships, tankers, HSC, etc. is set.
Note that the type of cargo (i.g. 71 : Cargo ships carrying DG, HS, or MP-A) should be
set in “CARGO TYPE & CREW” on the [NAV STATUS] menu. This data is
transmitted in the static data: MSG-5 reported every 6 minutes, and the receiver is able
to know the ship’s type (included cargo type). See Table 3.2.1 on the next page.

Note:

2. (*): The identifier should be constructed by selecting the appropriate first and
second digits.
For example, a general cargo ship not carrying dangerous goods, harmful
substances, or marine pollutants; would use identifier “7,” because the first
digit indicates the ship’s type.
Since the second digit indicates the attribute of the ship, a general cargo ship is
“0” of “0: All ships of this type.” Consequently, the code of a general cargo
ship is “70.”

1. Basically, sensors should be connected to COM4, 5, and 6.
However, since this port accepts Pos., COG, and HDG sentences irrespective of
MODE setting, sensors can be connected to here. However, the lowest priority is
assigned for inputted data. See page 3-21, Setting of SET PRIORITY.
2. The specifications of this port are compatible with RS-422. Then TD-A/B and
RD-A/B lines have the I/O circuits electrically separated by U2: LTC1535.
In addition, the jumper between #7 and #8 of COM1 is a termination resistor of
the TD data line. When a plurality of loads is connected to the TD-A/B line on the
transmission side, the termination resistor should be mounted on the receiver side
which has the electrically longest wiring. In the case of connecting FA-150 only,
use a jumper to connect #7 and #8.

Choose either one of them for data input. If data is inputted from both ports, both
inputted data collide. Thus, the inputted data is unable to be normally inputted.
C. Loop port shares one of sensor and AD converter data lines.
Note:
Input to AD data for C. Loop and RD of RS-422 cannot be simultaneously.
2. The specifications of this port are same as those described in “Note: setting of

seconds after the data is unable to be received, the port is changed over to the port with
the next priority.

Note:
COM1 through COM3 are given the lowest priority and are same level. Also, they do
not have timeout function. When any data is inputted, its data accept. For example, the

3.5 CH MODE Setting

This is a setting to decide whether FA-150 is operated on the USA channel mode or on
the INT (international) channel mode during Regional operation. This channel
designation (control) in the Region operation setting is effective only by setting from
DSC message or AIS message: MSG.22 from shore-based AIS.

Procedures
1. Choose CH MODE from [MENU] -> DIAGNOSTICS -> FOR SERVICE -> OTHER
menu.

2. Set CH MODE.
- INT : To conform to INT (international) channel.
- USA : Of the INT channel list, CH1002, 1004, 1060 and 1062 are unable to
be used. In addition, CH1067, 2067, 1013 and 2013 become forcibly
1W-operated. If any of the above channels is designated by
shore-based AIS in USA channel mode, the designated channel is
ignored.

1) Data registered from AIS and DSC messages registered within last two hours
cannot be edited.
2) If the registered items, those labeled [HIGH SEA] cannot be edited ([HIGH
SEA] are data used for international waters not controlled by shore-based AIS).
3) If two areas overlap one another the older data is deleted.
4) Data older than five weeks is deleted.

 3.6 Regional operating channels Setting

Reference: Transitional Mode Operations

The AIS automatically switches to the two-channel transitional operating mode when it
is located within five nautical miles of a regional boundary. In this mode the AIS
transmits and receives on the primary AIS frequency specified for the occupied region
and also transmits and receives on the primary AIS frequency of the nearest adjacent
region.

Region-2 Region-1 Hi sea

1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Zone-2 Zone-1 Region operation begins 5 nm
before the ship enters the
Region from High-sea.

The channel transition takes place as follows when the channel is operated as described
in the table below.

AIS CH-1 AIS CH-2 Region AIS Channel

(Primary CH) (Secondary CH)
Region-1 CH A-1 CH B-1 1 AIS-1 AIS-2
2 AIS-1 CH A-1
Region-2 CH A-2 CH B-2
3 CH A-1 AIS-1
High-sea AIS-1 (CH2087) AIS-2 (CH2088)

6 CH A-2 CH A-1
7 CH A-2 CH B-2
8 CH A-2 AIS-1
9 AIS-1 CH A-2
1 AIS-1 AIS-2

When the AIS is entering the transitional mode, it continues to utilize the current
channels for transmitting for a full one-minute frame while switching one of the
receivers to the new channel. The TDMA access rules is applied to vacating slots on the
current channel and accessing slots on the new channel. This transitional behavior is
made only when the channels are changing.
