Detailed description

The Raymarine AIS 700 transponder is a Class B+ transceiver utilizing SO-TDMA technology. Unlike traditional Class B AIS systems (CSTDMA) limited to a 2W transmission power, this model transmits at 5W. This architecture allows it to prioritize its place in the AIS network, ensuring increased range and faster position updates, a decisive advantage in busy shipping lanes where it approaches the responsiveness of Class A equipment.

Simplified Integration with VHF Splitter

The main advantage of this transponder lies in its integrated VHF antenna splitter. It eliminates the need for a second dedicated AIS antenna, allowing the use of the boat's main VHF antenna for both voice and AIS data simultaneously, without signal degradation. Compared to competing solutions requiring separate boxes, the Raymarine AIS 700 centralizes installation, reducing wiring and clutter.

NMEA Connectivity and Marine Robustness

On the network side, the device features NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 interfaces for direct integration with multifunction displays in the Axiom range or chartplotters from other brands. A USB port is also present for initial programming via a PC. Powered by 12 or 24VDC and benefiting from IPX6 and IPX7 waterproof certifications, this 2.5 kg module is designed to withstand the most demanding marine environments.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« The reliability of SO-TDMA coupled with simplified installation »

The switch to 5W SO-TDMA technology makes the Raymarine AIS 700 an essential choice for demanding sailors. By overcoming the limitations of the classic 2W CSTDMA, this transponder ensures your vessel remains visible even in areas saturated with AIS signals. The integration of the lossless antenna splitter is a real technical asset: it considerably simplifies retrofitting by reusing the existing VHF antenna at the masthead, where the range is maximal. This transponder interfaces seamlessly onto a NMEA 2000 backbone, providing instant data feedback to Axiom displays while maintaining exemplary robustness thanks to its dual IPX6 and IPX7 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Raymarine AIS 700 transponder?

The Raymarine AIS 700 is a Class B+ AIS transceiver using SO-TDMA technology. It allows you to transmit your boat's position to other vessels while receiving their data to avoid collisions at sea.

What is the difference between the SO-TDMA technology of the AIS 700 and a classic AIS?

Unlike traditional Class B systems (CSTDMA), SO-TDMA technology allows the AIS 700 to prioritize insertion into the AIS network. This ensures faster position updates and better range, especially in high-traffic areas.

What is the transmission power of the AIS 700?

The AIS 700 transmits at a power of 5 Watts, compared to only 2 Watts for standard Class B transponders. This increased power significantly improves your signal range and visibility.

What is the purpose of the integrated VHF antenna splitter?

The integrated splitter (or distributor) allows sharing a single VHF antenna for both your VHF radio and your AIS transponder. This avoids the need to install a second antenna dedicated to AIS on your boat, thus reducing clutter and wiring.

Does using the integrated splitter reduce the performance of my VHF radio?

No, the AIS 700's antenna splitter is designed to operate without any signal degradation. You can use voice on your VHF and transmit AIS data simultaneously and safely.

Do I need to install a specific GPS antenna for the AIS 700?

Yes, like any AIS transponder, the AIS 700 requires its own positioning source for safety reasons. It must be connected to a dedicated passive GPS/GNSS antenna (supplied with the unit) installed on board.

How do I program my MMSI number into the device?

The initial programming of your MMSI number and boat characteristics is done via the AIS 700's USB port, by connecting it to a PC using the configuration software provided by Raymarine.

Is the AIS 700 compatible with the NMEA 2000 network?

Absolutely. It features an NMEA 2000 interface that allows for simple and direct integration with modern networks and recent multifunction displays.

Can I connect this AIS to an older chartplotter using NMEA 0183?

Yes, the AIS 700 is equipped with a multiplexer and NMEA 0183 ports, making it fully compatible with older chartplotters or older generation navigation instruments.

Does this device work with Raymarine Axiom displays?

Yes, the AIS 700 is designed to integrate seamlessly with the entire range of Raymarine Axiom multifunction displays via the NMEA 2000 (SeaTalkng) network.

Can I use the AIS 700 with a VHF radio from a brand other than Raymarine?

Yes, the integrated antenna splitter is universal. You can connect any standard marine VHF radio, regardless of brand, to share your boat's main antenna.

What supply voltage is required to operate the AIS 700?

The AIS 700 is very flexible and accepts a 12V or 24V DC power supply (12/24VDC), making it compatible with almost all leisure and professional boat battery banks.

Is it possible to connect the AIS 700 to a navigation computer?

Yes, thanks to its integrated USB port, you can transmit AIS and GPS data directly to a navigation PC running compatible charting software.

Where is it recommended to install the AIS 700 unit?

It is advisable to install it inside the boat, in a dry and ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight. Although it is waterproof, mounting it on a vertical bulkhead facilitates the routing and securing of VHF, NMEA, and power cables.

Can the AIS 700 transponder be put into silent mode (receive only)?

Yes, it is possible to activate a silent mode that turns off the transmission of your position while continuing to receive surrounding AIS targets. This can be controlled via a dedicated switch or from a compatible multifunction display.

How do I know if the device is working correctly once installed?

The AIS 700 is equipped with a multi-color LED indicator on its front panel. This LED provides real-time information on the device's operating status, any errors, or the transmission and reception status.

Does the integrated splitter protect the AIS during VHF transmissions?

Yes, the integrated VHF splitter automatically manages priorities. When you press the transmit button on your VHF radio, the splitter instantly protects the AIS reception circuits from the high power emitted by the VHF.

Is a specific cable needed to connect the AIS 700 to the SeatalkNG network?

The device uses standard NMEA 2000 connectivity. To connect it to a Raymarine SeaTalkng network, a simple NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) to SeaTalkng adapter cable is required for seamless integration.
