Detailed description
Detailed description
Designed for SOLAS vessels, commercial ships, professional boats, and inland waterway navigation, the Simrad Pro AIS V5043 Class A transponder is an Automatic Identification System (AIS) Class A unit fully compliant with IMO standards. It provides a complete solution to enhance safety and situational awareness at sea.
Features and compliance
The Simrad Pro AIS V5043 is IMO-approved and compliant with international IEC and ITU standards, as well as inland waterway regulations. It is also Wheelmark certified. The system offers a transmission power of 1/12.5 W (30/41 dBm ± 1.5 dB). It features a 4.3-inch color LCD screen for standalone configuration and operation without requiring an external display. The interface is intuitive, with a backlit 11-key keypad for simplified use.
Connectivity and integration
For flexible integration, the V5043 includes three bidirectional NMEA 0183® ports and a connection to the NMEA 2000® bus, all via an included junction box. An integrated pilot plug is also present, with an option for a remote pilot plug accessory. These connectivity options allow interfacing with various external sensors, such as heading sensors and gyroscopes, as well as Simrad navigation systems (e.g., GN70, MX610, MX612) and ECS/ECDIS systems (including the Simrad E5000 series).
Display and safety
The device offers multiple AIS information display modes: a chart mode with basic coastline, a radar mode, an alphanumeric mode (text list of contacts), and a satellite mode. These modes facilitate maritime traffic management and collision avoidance. Additional safety features include a SART/MOB alarm. The main unit weighs 1.25 kg and measures 238 mm (W) x 135 mm (H) x 192.6 mm (D) with connectors. It is designed for bracket or flush mounting and has an IP54 protection rating. Its operating temperature range is from -25°C to +55°C. The compass safe distance is 30 cm.
