AIS transponder klass B

Unlike a black box AIS module that requires an external chartplotter, the MA-510TR includes its own dedicated display. This allows direct and autonomous reading of nearby targets and maritime traffic.

The ICOM MA-510TR transponder transmits at 2 W on dedicated maritime frequencies (from 161.500 to 162.025 MHz), ensuring your visibility to other vessels.

This device adapts to all marine electrical systems. It is compatible with 12 V or 24 V DC power supplies, with a tolerance range from 9.6 to 31.2 V.

Yes, the transponder is supplied with an external 72-channel GPS antenna (frequency 1575.42 MHz). It comes with a ~10 m cable to facilitate installation on board.

Absolutely. It has dual network compatibility:

NMEA 2000NMEA 0183This allows multiplexing AIS and GPS data to a multifunction chartplotter or radar.

The device integrates several advanced safety functions:

Configurable anti-collision alarms (CPA and TCPA)Anchor alarmDangerous target management

Power consumption is very limited. It is a maximum of 1.5 A when transmitting on a 12 V system.

The housing is designed to be compact. Its dimensions (excluding protrusions) are 166.2 x 110.2 x 92.5 mm (width x height x depth).

Yes, the interface provides advanced target management. You can create a friends list to quickly identify boats of your acquaintances directly on the screen.

Yes, the transponder is equipped with a USB port (type mini-B). This allows sending received AIS messages and GPS data to navigation software on a computer.

To be identified on the AIS network, you must program your 9-digit MMSI code into the device, along with your vessel's own data (name, boat type, dimensions).

The display offers 4 main screen types to suit your needs:

Standard AIS screenAIS and heading screenAIS and route screenSimple route screen

Yes, the 72-channel external GPS receiver is compatible with WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN differential corrections, providing maximum positioning accuracy.

Yes, it is strongly recommended to connect the device to the boat's ground (negative ground) to avoid interference with other electronic equipment and prevent electrical hazards.

Yes, you can configure the display according to your preferences. You can choose to display all targets, only dangerous targets, or only your friends.

Yes, the transponder can receive and display specific icons for distress targets, including AIS-SART, AIS-MOB (man overboard), and EPIRB-AIS.

To connect it to a PC, you will need a USB cable of type A to mini-B. Please note that this cable must be provided by the user as it is not included by default.

The system continuously calculates the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). If a vessel breaches the limits you have set (from 1 to 60 minutes), the device automatically triggers an alarm.
