AIS-AIT5000 Transpondér AIS Třídy B+ 5W s GPS anténou

The AIT5000 uses SOTDMA technology with a transmit power of 5W, compared to 2W for a standard Class B. This provides increased detection range, faster position updates, and priority allocation of transmission slots in high-traffic areas.

No, the AIT5000 integrates a VHF antenna splitter certified "zero loss". It allows you to use your boat’s main VHF antenna simultaneously for your VHF radio and for AIS data transmission/reception without any signal degradation.

Yes, the AIS transponder AIT5000 is supplied with its own GPS antenna, essential for accurately transmitting your vessel’s position, speed, and heading to other boats.

Configuration is done easily via an integrated web interface. You can use a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone connected to the device's Wi-Fi, then open a web browser to enter your MMSI number and your boat's dimensions.

The AIT5000 is designed to operate on 12V or 24V DC shipboard electrical systems (accepted range: 9.6V to 31.2V). It is recommended to protect the installation with a 3A fuse or an appropriate circuit breaker.

The power supply connects via the main cable provided. The red wire corresponds to the positive pole (+) and the black wire to the negative pole (-).

Yes, the AIT5000 has a built-in NMEA 2000 (N2Net) interface, enabling direct and simple connection to modern multifunction displays from brands like Garmin, B&G, or Raymarine.

Absolutely. The device acts as a multiplexer: it has two NMEA 0183 inputs. It merges data from your existing instruments with its own AIS and GPS data, then redistributes them via its NMEA 0183, USB, and Wi-Fi outputs.

The AIT5000 creates its own Wi-Fi network. Simply connect to it with your tablet, then configure your navigation app to receive data via IP address 192.168.1.1 on port 2000 (TCP or UDP protocol).

The transponder housing is very compact. Its dimensions are approximately 220 mm in length, 130 mm in width, and 55 mm in height, making it easy to install behind a bulkhead or chart table.

Silent mode allows you to disable the transmission of your AIS data while continuing to receive data from other vessels. It can be activated via the web interface or by installing a physical switch connected to the blue and white wires of the data cable.

A flashing yellow LED indicates that the device is powered on but is waiting to acquire a valid GPS position before transmitting its first AIS report. This typically takes 3 to 4 minutes after power-up.

You can use the low-speed NMEA 0183 output (4800 baud) of the AIT5000, specifically designed for this purpose. Connect the pink wire (TX+) and the purple wire (TX-) to the NMEA input of your VHF radio.

A flashing red indicator light signals an issue with the VHF antenna or the antenna splitter (VSWR error). We recommend checking your VHF antenna and cables, and using the web configuration interface to read the precise error message.

Yes, the AIT5000 is equipped with a bidirectional USB connection that creates a virtual COM port at 38,400 baud on your PC or Mac, allowing navigation software to receive all multiplexed AIS, GPS, and NMEA data.

Yes, the AIT5000's web interface allows you to check transmission and reception statistics, including the VSWR value (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio), which provides an indication of the quality and condition of your VHF antenna installation.

This combination of lights indicates that silent mode is currently enabled. Your AIS transponder receives nearby AIS targets but does not broadcast your vessel's position.

Yes, the MMSI number programmed in your AIS transponder must be strictly identical to the one assigned to your vessel and programmed in your VHF radio. This number is issued by the competent maritime authorities.

To send AIS and GPS data to an NMEA 0183 chartplotter at 38400 baud, you must use port 1 of the AIT5000. Connect the orange wire (TX+) and the brown wire (TX-) to the corresponding input of your chartplotter.

For safety and regulatory reasons, once the MMSI number is registered in the transponder during the initial setup, it cannot be modified by the user. In case of an error or a change of boat, the device must be reset by a professional.
