AIS 800INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONSImportant Safety Information WARNINGSee the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box forproduct warnings and other important information. CAUTIONAlways wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,cutting, or sanding.NOTICEWhen drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of thesurface.Registering Your DeviceHelp us better support you by completing our online registration today. Keepthe original sales receipt, or a photocopy, in a safe place.1Go to my.garmin.com/registration.2Sign in to your Garmin® account.FCC ComplianceNOTICEIn the USA, it is prohibited under FCC regulations to enter incorrect orimproper data, and it is prohibited for any person other than the manufactureror the installing dealer to input MMSI number.It is a violation of the rules of the FCC to input an MMSI number that has notbeen properly assigned to the user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate datain this device.Assigning Data to the DeviceYou must program the AIS 800 device with a valid vessel MMSI numberbefore installing the device on your boat. The device operates in silent modewithout a valid MMSI number. In silent mode, the device receives AIS signals,but does not transmit position data. You can program the device to transmitstatic vessel data including the vessel name, call sign, type, and dimensions,which can include the location of your boat's GPS antenna.Installing the AIS 800 Software on Your Computer1Go to www.garmin.com/AIS800, select Software, and download the .zipfile to your computer.2Connect the included USB cable to your computer and the USB port on theAIS 800 device.3Double-click the .exe file, and follow the on-screen instructions.Programming the AIS 800Before the device can be used on a boat, it must be programmed with aunique MMSI number and with additional vessel-specific static data. TheMMSI number must be programmed by an authorized marine electronicsdealer or installer.Before you can program the device, you must install the AIS 800 software onyour computer (Installing the AIS 800 Software on Your Computer, page 1).1In the program, select the Static data tab.2In the Connection and Status window, select COM11 from the drop-downlist.3Select Connect.4Enter your ship name, call sign, dimensions, vessel type, and MMSInumber (Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 800, page 1).5Select Save data to AIS 800.NOTE: The data is lost if the AIS 800 device is turned off. You must selectSave data to AIS 800 to permanently save your data.6Select File > Exit.Assigning an MMSI Number to the AIS 8001Launch the AIS 800 setup software.2In the Connection and Status window, select COM11 from the drop-downlist.3Select Connect.4In the Static Data window, enter your nine-digit MMSI number in the MMSINumber field.NOTICEYou cannot change the MMSI number after you assign the MMSI numberto your boat. If you assign an incorrect MMSI number, you must return thedevice to the manufacturer for a factory reset.5Select Save data to AIS 800.Tools Needed• Drill• Drill bits appropriate for the surface and hardware• Phillips screwdriver• PencilMounting ConsiderationsNOTICEThis device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extremetemperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed inthe product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding thespecified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may causedevice failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and relatedconsequences are not covered by the warranty.• You must mount the device in a location where it will not be submerged.• You must mount the device in a location with adequate ventilation where itwill not be exposed to extreme temperatures.• If possible, you should mount the device horizontally, with the top of thedevice facing upward.• If you must mount the device vertically, you should orient it so theconnectors do not point upward. This helps avoid potential water retentionaround the connectors.• If you mount the device in a boat with a metal hull, you must connect thedevice to an external GPS antenna.Antenna Mounting and EME Exposure WARNINGRadio operators with cardiac pacemakers, life-support machines, or electricalmedical equipment should not be exposed to excessive radio-frequency (RF)fields, because the RF field may interfere with the function of their medicalequipment. CAUTIONThis device generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagneticenergy (EME). Failure to observe these guidelines may expose people to RFradiation absorption exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE).Garmin declares a MPE radius of 2.48 m (97.64 in.) for this system, which wasdetermined using 5 W output to an omni-directional, 6 dBi gain antenna. Theantenna should be installed to maintain a distance of 2.48 m (97.64 in.)between the antenna and all people.Mounting the DeviceNOTICEIf you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, it isrecommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore throughPrinted in GermanyMay 2018190-02422-91_0B

only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layerwhen the screws are tightened.Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location anddetermine the mounting hardware needed for the surface.NOTE: Mounting hardware is included with the device, but it may not besuitable for the mounting surface.1Place the device in the mounting location and mark the location of the pilotholes.2Using a bit appropriate for the surface and the mounting hardware, drill apilot hole for one corner of the device.3Loosely fasten the device to the surface with one corner and examine theother three pilot-hole marks.4Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary.5Remove the device from the mounting surface.6Drill the appropriate pilot holes for the other three marks.7Secure the device to the mounting location.Connection ConsiderationsConnecting the Wiring Harness to Power1Route the wiring harness to the power source and to the device.2Connect the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and connect theblack wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.Connecting a VHF Antenna1Mount the VHF antenna (sold separately) according to the installationinstructions provided with the antenna.NOTE: You can purchase a VHF extension cable. Go to buy.garmin.comor contact your Garmin dealer.2Connect the VHF antenna to the VHF ANT port on the AIS 800 device.Connecting the Device to a Remote GPS AntennaThis device must receive GPS information for proper functionality. The deviceincludes an internal GPS antenna. If your mounting location does not providegood GPS reception, you can install a remote GPS antenna (not included) andconnect it to the device.1Follow the instructions provided with your external GPS antenna to install iton your boat correctly.2Route the GPSantenna cable to the back of your device, away fromsources of electrical interference.3Connect the GPS antenna cable to the GPS ANT port on your device.NMEA 2000® Device ConnectionsNOTICEIf you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boatignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drainyour battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the “NMEA 2000Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000Products.
