2  SYSTEM OVERVIEW 

 

2.1  Product Description 

The

 

McMurdo Smartfind M5

 

is a new generation AIS Class A transponder

 

fully compliance with 

IMO, IEC, and ITU international standards. It provides a compact single box solution, easy to 
install and operate. The unit is designed with advanced technology which sets a new standard for 
quality, performance, and value. It is an excellent choice for SOLAS vessels, commercial vessels, 
and professional vessels. 

The Smartfind M5 consists of a transceiver radio unit, an 
integrated GPS receiver, a controller unit, and a colour 

3.5” 

LCD display with menu keypads. The radio has three 
receivers -- two TDMA receivers and one DSC receiver. The 
transmitter alternates its transmission between the two 
operating TDMA. The controller unit creates and schedules 
data packets (containing dynamic, static and voyage related 
data) for transmission based on the IMO performance 
standard for AIS. 

The Smartfind M5 

can be connected to the ship’s sensors as 

required by the IALA guidelines through an external junction 
box (supplied in the package). The unit can also interface external navigation and presentation 
systems that support IEC 61162-1 related sentences

It is also capable for connection to Long 

Range system like Inmarsat C. The Smartfind M5 supports both IMO and Inland AIS which is 
configurable by the software. 

The colour LCD display and menu keypads provide an intuitive graphical user-friendly interface to 
the system. It can display the location of other vessels, aids to navigation and search and rescue 
vessels. The AIS transmit and receive status are shown on the screen which helps user to know 
the working status of the unit easily. The LCD and keypad can also be used to send and receive 
messages, perform configuration as well as supervise the systems status.
