System Overview
Th e R4-A IS Clas s A Transpo nder Sys tem co nsists ofa radio transceiver unit, a GP S
receiver, a contro ller unit and a separate displav (MK D) un it. T he transceive r co nsist of
on e trans m itter and three independen t VHF receiver s, two tunable TD MA receivers and
on e DSC receiver. Th e tran smitter alternates its transm issio ns be tween the two operati ng
TDMA channels and can also be used to reply a DSC interrogation (ITU-R M.825-3,
Anne x I). Th e co ntro ller unit creates and schedules data packets (containi ng dynamic,
static and voyage renlted dat a) for transmission base d on the IMO performance standard
for A IS.
Th e R4-A IS sha ll be con nected to the ship's senso rs as requi red by the insta llation guidelines publ ished by lALA. T he R4-A IS can interface external navigat ion and prese ntatio n
sys tems tha t support requi red IEC 6 1162- 1 sentences as set out in R4-A IS Installat io n
Man ual. Th e R4 Tran sponder is prepared for connect ion to Long Range systems like

Inrnarsat C.
Th e R4 Disp lay has a user-friendl y interface for plotting of other ships on a radar-like
display, as well as a display of listed information abou t ot her vessels sorted by range or
by bea ring. The display is also used for confi gura tion and send ing/receiving messag es.

High resolution 6" graphic day and night display providing for example a radar-I ike
display presenting up to 500 targets in vicinity of own ship, situation display with
capability to view vessels in the most interesting bearing and range, messaging display for generation and presentation of safety related text messages.
The mandatory pilot plug is integrated in the display.
Upgradeable without hardware modifications due to fully integrated DSP soluuon.
VHF transceiver with one transmitter, three receivers.
Channel management capability for areas without access to the worldwide allocated

Target List View
The R4 Display will power up in Target List view. This view, also referred to as the
minimal display, displays a list of all targets sorted by range from own ship (closest first).
The Iist includes MMSI, ship's name, range (RNG) and bearing (BRG). The total number
of ships in the list will be shown in the upper right corner of the list and the index of the
currently selected ship will be shown on the right side. By toggling the (Sort By Bearing)
/ (Sort By Range] function key the list will be sorted either by range or by bearing. If the
Iist is sorted by bearing, the start bearing will be in own COG direction. Each bearing sector covers 30 and moving through the sectors is done in 15 steps by using the function
keys 1_15 -j.and 1+15 -->1.

Alarm Description
Tx Malfunction
A Tx Malfunction alarm is generated if there is a malfunction in the radio transmitter
hardware or if the antenna VSWR exceeds an allowed ratio. If the radio transmitter returns
to normal operation or if VSWR returns to a value below the allowed treshold, the alarm
is cleared.

Antenna VSWR Exceeds limit

The VSWR of the antenna is checked for every transmission and ifit exceeds a given ratio
then a VSWR alarm is generated. If the VSWR goes below the allowed threshold, the
alarm is cleared.
Rx Malfunctions
The radio receivers are continously monitored and if any part of the receivers hardware
should malfunction, a Rx Malfunction alarm is generated for that receiver. If the radio
receiver returns to normal operation, the alarm is cleared.
General Failure
This alarm is generated if the R4-AIS Transponder fails to initiate the radio. Ifthis alarm
occurs, contact your retailer.

MKD Connection Lost

This alarm is active if the communication between the R4-AIS Transponder and the
display unit does not work. The alarm popup will appear if the display to transponder
communication is lost and the transponder to display communication still works.
External EPFS Lost
This alarm is generated if the position from the external Electronic Position Fixing System
is invalid (i.e. no external GNSS). Due to the fallback arrangement for the positioning sensor this alarm can be inactive up to 30 seconds (during which the internal GNSS is used)
before the alarm is activated.
No Sensor Position In Use
This alarm is active if the AIS system does not have a valid position (latitudellongitude)
. from any sensor.
No Valid SOG InfonnationlNo Valid COG Information
. These alarms are active if the AIS system does not have a valid SOG (Speed. Over
Ground) or a valid COG (Course Over Ground) from any sensor. The SOG and COG is
based on the speed log (if external GNSS is used and a valid heading is available) or the
GNSS currently in use.
Heading Lostllnvalid
This alarm is generated if either the heading information is lost/invalid (from external
sensors) or if the heading is undefined.
No Valid ROT Information
This alarm is active if ROT (Rate Of Turn) is undefined or ifno valid ROT information
is available from external sensor or internal calculations.
