Introducing the CSB200
The CSB200 is a low cost AIS transponder, designed specifically for the Leisure Marine and Fishing Boat market. It meets the new Class "B" standard that allows vessels that are not required to fit Class "A" units to voluntarily fit an AIS transponder. It enables boats sailing in busy shipping lanes to automatically transmit their current position, course and speed to other vessels and shore stations within VHF range.
Connected to a compatible on board PC running a Navigation Program, or Chart Plotter, information received from other vessels or shore stations can also be displayed on screen giving the skipper or navigator a visual interpretation of the name, position, course and speed of vessels within VHF range. This information is updated every 3 seconds to 6 minutes depending on speed and rate of turn, enabling the track of the vessels in range to be plotted.
Installation and Technical Information
Installation:
Installation is quick and simple. The CSB200 requires a 12vDC power source, and connection to an external VHF aerial and GPS antenna. The vessels initial static information is programmed via a PC by the user. The CSB200 also contains a dual channel synthesised AIS receiver thus once connected to a compatible electronic charting system capable of accepting standard NMEA 0183 VDM AIS sentences other vessels fitted with AIS can be displayed. For information about compatibility, please consult your Navigation Software supplier.
