Detailed description

The AMEC CYPHO-150S AIS receiver is designed to enhance safety at sea by receiving all AIS data (Class A and B messages). It features two parallel AIS receivers with a reception sensitivity of -107 dBm for maximum range. The CYPHO-150S stands out with its integrated VHF splitter, allowing a single VHF antenna to be shared between the VHF radio and the AIS receiver, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.

Connectivity and System Integration

This AIS receiver offers extended connectivity. It includes a USB 2.0 port for computer connection and an NMEA 0183 interface with independent input and output at selectable baud rates. Supported NMEA 0183 baud rates are 4800, 9600, and 38400 bps, with a default of 38400 bps. Power options are flexible: 12 or 24 VDC, or via USB for 5 V DC / 500 mA, with power consumption under 1.60 W.

AIS Data and Performance

The CYPHO-150S receives AIS messages on two default channels: CH 87B (161.975 MHz) and CH 88B (162.025 MHz), with a 25 kHz bandwidth. It processes static data (MMSI number, IMO number, call sign, vessel type, length, beam, GPS antenna position), voyage-related data (draught, cargo, destination, ETA), dynamic data (position, UTC time, COG, SOG, heading, rate of turn, navigation status), and safety messages (SRM). Its compact dimensions of 128 mm (W) x 36 mm (H) x 88 mm (D) and weight of 210 g (including cable) ease onboard integration. It is certified to IEC 60945 Ed. 4.0 and IEC 62287-1 Ed. 2.1, ensuring compliance with maritime standards.

Expert opinion

« Récepteur AIS avec splitter VHF : une intégration simplifiée »

Le récepteur AIS AMEC CYPHO-150S représente une solution pertinente pour les plaisanciers et professionnels soucieux d'améliorer la connaissance situationnelle sans complexifier leur installation. Sa principale valeur ajoutée réside dans son splitter VHF intégré. Cette fonctionnalité permet de mutualiser une seule antenne VHF pour la radio de communication et le récepteur AIS, évitant ainsi l'ajout d'une seconde antenne et de son câblage, ce qui est un avantage significatif sur les bateaux où l'espace et les passages de câbles sont limités. Cela simplifie grandement le montage et réduit les coûts d'installation.

Sur le plan de l'intégration, le CYPHO-150S offre une flexibilité appréciable avec ses interfaces USB et NMEA 0183. La connexion USB est idéale pour l'intégration avec un PC équipé d'un logiciel de navigation, tandis que l'interface NMEA 0183 permet une intégration fluide avec des traceurs de cartes ou écrans multifonctions plus anciens. La capacité à gérer différentes vitesses de baud NMEA 0183 (4800, 9600, 38400) garantit une compatibilité étendue avec divers équipements existants. Ce modèle est particulièrement adapté aux navires où l'optimisation de l'espace et la simplicité d'installation sont des critères déterminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the purpose of the integrated VHF splitter in the CYPHO-150S AIS receiver?

The CYPHO-150S integrates a VHF splitter, allowing you to share a single VHF antenna between your VHF radio and the AIS receiver. This significantly simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a second antenna and reduces clutter aboard your vessel.

What connection options are available on the AIS receiver CYPHO-150S?

The CYPHO-150S provides multiple connection options to integrate with your navigation system:

USB 2.0 port: for connection to a computer. NMEA 0183 interface: including one input and one output, both independent of transmission speeds. VHF antenna connector (SO-239 female): for the main antenna. VHF radio connector (SO-239 female): for connection to your VHF radio via the integrated splitter.

What are the power supply requirements for the CYPHO-150S?

The AIS receiver CYPHO-150S can be powered in two ways:

Via an external 12 or 24 VDC power supply.Via the USB port, with a 5 V DC / 500 mA power supply.Its power consumption is less than 1.60 Watt.

Which NMEA 0183 baud rates are supported by the CYPHO-150S?

The CYPHO-150S supports three NMEA 0183 baud rates: 4800, 9600, and 38400. The default baud rate is 38400. You can change it using the supplied configuration utility.

Is a pilot required to connect the CYPHO-150S to a computer via USB?

Yes, a USB driver is required to connect the CYPHO-150S to your computer. The installation process involves opening the USB driver file and running the USBDriverInstaller.exe executable to install the drivers.
