Simrad V5043 Class A Transceiver

V5043 Class A AIS System - IMO Compliant AIS system.Includes GPS antenna, junction box, and pilot plug.

IMO Type Approved Class-A AIS for SOLAS Vessels
SOLAS carriage requirements mandate Class-A Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) to be fitted aboard all ships, on international voyages, 300 GT and upwards; all cargo ships, both international or domestic, 500 GT and upwards; and all passenger ships, international or domestic, regardless of size. The Simrad V5043 is a complete solution with IMO-type approval to meet AIS requirements aboard SOLAS vessels and for use on inland waterways.

Safety and Awareness
Adding AIS to navigation for spontaneous 'ship-to-ship' or 'ship-to-shore' recognition greatly enhances safety at sea and provides mariners with new levels of real-time information. AIS systems allow you to receive an instant overview of traffic situations and the maneuvers of other AIS-enabled ships, assisting with safe navigation in radar-blind zones. AIS also makes it easy to establish contact with other ships with radio call signs presented on the display.

Standalone Operation
The Simrad V5043 is a compact bracket or panel-mount unit with a larger, integrated 4.3-inch color LCD screen with a user-friendly interface and easy keypad operation. The V5043 can be configured and operated without any external display or controller and provides AIS information to the operator in basic coastline, radar-style, alphanumeric (textual list of contacts), and satellite display modes.

Complete AIS Solution with Comprehensive Connectivity
The V5043 ships with a junction box providing three bi-directional NMEA 0183® ports and NMEA 2000® bus for connection to multiple external sensors (e.g. heading, gyro), and sharing of AIS data for display by navigation systems such as the Simrad GN70, MX610, or MX612, and ECS/ECDIS including the Simrad E5000 series. The V5043 also includes a complete pilot plug assembly for connection to a Personal Pilot Unit (PPU).
