2 Overview

The MX535 is an AIS Transponder Unit, which receives data from other vessels by means of a VHF radio and sends these data to the MX420 Control and Display Unit (CDU) or the ECDIS.

In the opposite direction, the AIS receives data from the external GPS system and the ship’s sensors and transmit these data by means of the VHF radio.

Access to these data and access to the VHF radio for a pilot is prepared by means of an additional pilot port.

The AIS has a Long-Range (LR) Port to connect a long-distance communication system, for instance a satellite communication system. In this way, the AIS can be called to send the ship’s data. These data are sent back via the long-range port to the questioner.
