The Nauticast-B transponder is a plug and play AIS solution. Enjoy the benefits of the AIS system knowing larger commercial vessels are aware of your position increasing your personal safety while navigating at sea.
Unlike receive only AIS devices which do not transmit vessel
information to surrounding traffic, the Nauticast-B system allows
you to virtually participate in neighboring vessels maneuvering
activities for collision avoidance. Announce your identity,
position, speed and course over ground to oncoming traffic
allows for increased security that you will be seen in low visibility
conditions.
Avoid not being seen because of extreme weather conditions
or busy vessel traffic environments. Generate a safety distress
message to surrounding AIS equipment, including vessels,
base-stations, and possibly SAR teams. All in all, it is a horizon
expanding experience; especially in combination with an
electronic chart system.
Size it Up!
The Nauticast’s alluring
measurements are 7.8 x 6.2 x 1.84”
(18 x 15.8 x 4.7 cm). It’s a lightweight
at 13.2 oz. (375 g) and won’t take
up much space mounted under the
dash. Position the Safety Switch on
your console for easy access in case
of an accident
Plug and Play
Inventive technology at its best!
Three sockets suffice to connect
power, sensors, and antennas; and
initial transponder operation is up
and running within minutes.
Plug & Play system includes: Class
B AIS Transponder, GPS antennas,
data/power cables and optional
remote Safety Message switch
Safety Relate Message/Stealth
The remote SRM button saves the
precise coordinates of the incident
and immediately generates safety
distress message to surrounding
vessels
Or configure the SRM switch to allow
you to operate in stealth mode only,
receiving AIS data and not sharing
for added security to avoid being
detected by pirating vessels.
Data cable directly interfaces with
your chart plotter or laptop
ACR AIS products undergo stringent
quality testing and with thousands of
AIS transponders on the market, the
Nauticast brand is a tried and tested
system which has already gained
substantial market penetration in
this young market
