AIS is considered part of the ship’s radio station and is surveyed together with radio installation. Surveys on SOLAS Convention ships should be carried out in accordance with the rules laid down in IMO Res. A 746(18) "Survey Guidelines under the harmonised system of survey and certification" (R) 8, and "Protocol of 1988 relating to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974."

3.2.2 Step-by-Step Installation Procedure

Use the VHF adapter cable (P/N 3508 102 70850) together with the VHF plug and TNC plug to connect the VHF and GPS antenna cables as well as the antennas.

The sensors, ECDIS, PC, pilot case, long range devices and auxiliary displays can be connected to the MX535 transponder cabinet by the AIS cable or JB-50 Junction Box (optional). The device is driven by a 24V DC 7A supply, which is connected to the power terminal at the JB-50 Junction Box (optional). The AIS should be connected to an emergency power source. A battery capacity calculation together with GMDSS- equipment is needed! After performing these steps, the MX535 transponder automatically starts operation.

The MX535 transponder has a ground terminal, which has to be connected to ship ground.
