Product catalog summary

Overview: The VDL 6000 AIS Class A/Inland Transponder is designed for SOLAS compliance and BSH certification, offering a cost-effective solution for maritime communication. It is developed according to the latest AIS Inland standards and is type approved by Fachstelle der WSV für Verkehrstechniken FVT.

Features: The transponder uses SOTDMA technology to transmit and receive data on vessels within VHF coverage, including position, identity, course, heading, and navigational status. It broadcasts Inland blue sign status messages for navigation and provides critical information for decision-making and safe maneuvering along inland waterways. The system is compatible with ARPA radar and electronic chart systems for enhanced situational awareness.

Configuration and Interfaces: Installation is straightforward, requiring connection to a GPS and VHF antenna, and onboard sensors. It includes an interface for Inland ECDIS and/or ARPA radar. The transponder features an integrated Minimum Keyboard and Display (MKD) and can operate as either an AIS Inland or Class A transponder.

Technical Specifications:

  • Power: Input voltage of 11-36 V DC.
  • Radio: Adjustable transmitter output power of 1 and 12.5 W, with a bandwidth of 25 kHz and a baud rate of 9600 bps (AIS) / 1200 bps (DSC).
  • GNSS Receiver: GPS L1 with 50 parallel channels and DGNSS support.
  • Environmental: Protected installation per IEC 60945.
  • Interfaces: Includes VHF and GPS antenna connections, sensor interfaces, and various RS422 and RS232 connections.

Standards and Compliance: The transponder complies with multiple standards, including ITU-R M.1371-4, IEC 61993-2, and IMO resolutions. It is BSH certified and FVT type approved.

Physical Characteristics: The device measures 164 x 103.5 x 233 mm and weighs 2.3 kg. It does not require cooling and includes plugable screw terminals for cable connections.

Contact Information: CNS Systems has offices in Sweden, Canada, and the USA, providing contact details for further inquiries.

VDL 6000 AIS Inland-1

AIS Class A / Inland Transponder - Increased situational awareness for inland navigation, the system communicates the blue sign -The AIS transponder can be configured to operate either as an AIS Inland or a Class A transponder. -The system communicates required static, voyage related and dynamic data. i The VDL 6000 AIS Class A/Inland transponder provides SOLAS compliance and BSH certification at very attractive prices. The VDL 6000 AIS Inland transponder is based on our wel proven AIS Class A transponder and developed in accordance with the latest AIS Inland standard requirements. The AIS nland transponder is type approved by Fachstelle derWSVfür The data link communication covers standard AIS messages and the required static, voyage-related and dynamic data as well as blue sign messages for inland navigation for increased situational awareness and improved safety for the individual The SOTDMA technology used in the AIS transponder transmits and receives information on all vessels within VHF coverage. This information includes position, identity, course over ground, heading, and rate of turn as well as navigational status The AIS Inland transponder broadcasts Inland blue sign status messages for upstream or downstream navigation; ships passing on starboard side, hazardous cargo carriage (Blue Cones), and estimated time of arrival at locks, bridges and terminals. Lock management, information on draught, type of cargo and destination is vital for decision making and safe maneuvering along the inland waterways. The information received from, and provided to, the ships is easily plotted on any ARPA radar or electronic chart system. Maximum situational awareness is accomplished. The AIS Class A/Inland transponder is easy to install onboard any ship by connecting it to a GPS and VHF antenna, and is complete after connecting it to the onboard sensors. To maximize the benefit of the investment, the AIS Inland transponder is delivered with an interface to the Inland ECDIS and/or ARPA radar. The AIS Class A/Inland transponder consists of an integrated Minimum Keyboard and Display (MKD).
