001
AIS: Tx malfunction
AIS TX MALFUNCTION
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: VHF Antenna, cabling
Reaction: The Electronics Unit stops the transmission.
Remedy: Check of the antenna and the antenna cabling
(short circuit or missing contact at the connectors)
002
AIS: Antenna
VSWR exceeds limit
(VSWR = Voltage
Standing Wave
Ratio)
AIS VSWR LIMIT
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: VHF antenna, installation
Reaction: The Electronics Unit continues operation.
Remedy: Check of the antenna and the antenna cabling
(75
Ω
cable instead of 50
Ω
cable)
003
AIS: Rx channel 1
malfunction
AIS RX CH1 FAULT
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: Internal error
Reaction: The Electronics Unit stops the transmission on the
affected channel.
Remedy: The Electronics Unit must be exchanged.
004
AIS: Rx channel 2
malfunction
AIS RX CH2 FAULT
005
AIS: Rx channel 70
malfunction
AIS RX CH70 FAULT
006
AIS: General failure
AIS GENERAL FAULT
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: Internal error
Reaction: The Electronics Unit stops the transmission.
Remedy: The Electronics Unit must be exchanged.
008
AIS: MKD connec-
tion lost (MKD =
Minimum Keyboard
Display)
AIS CONNECTION
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: No Operating/Display Unit connected
Reaction: The Electronics Unit continues operation.
Remedy: The Display Unit (for example a RADARPILOT
1x00) does not communicate with the Electronics Unit. Check
the cabling/connection of the Primary Display Port. Check if
the Display Unit is working.
025
AIS: External EPFS
lost
(EPFS = Electronic
Position Fixing
System such as
GPS)
AIS EXTERNAL EPFS
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: No valid position data at interface S1, S2, S3
Reaction: The Electronics Unit continues operation with the
position data of the internal position sensor. If there is no
valid position data available from the internal position sensor,
additionally error 026 is displayed.
Remedy: The telegrams GLL, GNS, GGA, RMC can not be
received. Check the sensor and the cabling; Check if the
system that delivers the data is working (RADARPILOT
1x00); Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs.
026
AIS: No sensor
position in use
AIS NO POSITION
Generated by: AIS Electronics Unit
Cause/Source: No valid position from internal position sensor
Reaction: The Electronics Unit continues operation.
Remedy: Check the cabling and the antenna of the internal
GPS sensor.
