AIS
If an NAIS400, an AI50 or a NMEA 2000 VHF that can do AIS (Automatic Identification System)
is connected to the Zeus
2
, then any targets detected by these devices can be displayed and
tracked. You can also see messages and position for DSC transmitting devices within range.
AIS targets can be displayed as overlay on radar and chart images, making this feature an
important tool for safe travelling and collision avoidance.
You can set alarms to notify you if an AIS target gets too close or if the target is lost.

AIS target symbols
The system uses the AIS target symbols shown below:
Sleeping AIS target (not moving or at anchor).
Moving and safe AIS target with course extension line.
Dangerous AIS target, illustrated with bold line.
A target is defined as dangerous based on the CPA and TCPA settings. Refer to
Lost AIS target.
When no signals have been received within a time limit, a target is defined as
lost.
The target symbol represents the last valid position of the target before the
reception of data was lost.
Selected AIS target, activated by selecting a target symbol.
The target returns to the default target symbol when the cursor is removed
from the symbol.
