SEVENSTAR SEATRACER B

The SEVENSTAR SeaTraceR AIS B Transponder from SevenStar was one of the first to be designed following the release of the IEC- 62287-1 specification. It utilises the most sophisticated digital signal processing and software algorithms to implement the required CS-TDMA transmitter and receiver functions. Robust and resilient to the stresses of life at sea, the SeaTraceR is housed in an IP-65 rated aluminium enclosure with matching and versatile mounting hardware, all of which is protected with a sea-water resistant coating under a heavy-duty powder-coat external finish.

Combined with a chart plotter or AIS-enabled radar set, it takes their performance into the next generation - once you've seen it in action, you won't believe you could have sailed without it!

Features

• You can see who else is within your vicinity, even if they are behind another object! (headland, island, ship...)
  
• You will be visible to any AIS-equipped vessel or coast station within VHF range
  
• Two-way benefits are far superior to dubious one-way performance of most radar reflectors
  
• You will see AIS navigation beacons (AtoNs) clearly displayed on your screen
  
• Consistent and repeatable performance, based on global standards
  
• Collisions can be easily avoided
  
• Security monitoring at Ports, Harbours, Marinas
  
• Hire and charter craft can be easily monitored
  
• Anti-smuggling, Anti-piracy, Anti-terrorist, Homeland security

All you need is a VHF antenna and a GPS antenna (active type) and power of course, in order to transmit and receive AIS data to and from other vessels or navigation systems. (We offer a very neat combines antenna that simplifies installation.) To see the positions and identities of nearby vessels, use the supplied data cable to connect to your plotter, nav station or lap-top PC (NMEA/RS422 and RS232 options are provided). Most plotter manufacturers will have upgrades available that will display AIS data. Also most radar manufacturers are now well on route to overlaying AIS data on their displays.
