TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 71 10.1.3.3 Add Region The user is allowed to Add Regions, but caution is advised (see 10.1.3). It is not allowed to delete regions, they will be deleted on timeout after 24 hours inactivity, if the ship is more than 500NM away from the region, or if the region is overwritten. There is a maximum amount of 8 regions in addition to the HIGH SEA region Red square shows button selected to get to next menu When “Add Region” is selected, default values for Channels, Tx/Rx Mode, Power and Transition zone are configured, but all these parameters may be altered together with defining position of the North East and South West corners of the Region.
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 72 10.1.3.3.1 Change Channel NOTE! BE AWARE THAT SETTING OF CHANNELS WITHOUT SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF CORRECT SETTING MAY ALTER YOUR AND OTHER VESSELS SECURITY AS: YOU MAY TRANSMIT ON ILLEGAL CHANNELS YOU MAY NOT BE SEEN ON OTHER VESSELS AIS OTHERS MAY NOT SEE YOU THIS CAN IN WORST CASE LEAD TO COLLISIONS When you select either the buttons “Channel A” or “Channel B” you may input the correct channel number. The default channels 2087 and 2088 are the same as 87B or 88B used previously as Coast Station frequencies on 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz. See complete list in Chapter 12 and for updates of this list from ITU RR, Appendix 18
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 73 10.1.3.3.2 Tx/Rx Mode Tx/Rx Mode allows you to change setting in which the transponders will use the two regional channels for transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) When you press the button “Tx/Rx Mode” it will toggle between the valid configurations: Default – will transmit/receive on both channels
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 74 10.1.3.3.3 Output Power The button “Output Power” will toggle between “High” and “Low” power: (12.5 Watts) (1 Watt ) 10.1.3.3.4 Transition Zone A Region must be between 20 an 200 Nautical miles and within this region there will be a “Transition zone” between 1 and 8 Nautical miles: This zone is used for frequency transition so only one frequency is changed at a time. There are defined rules for how the AIS will behave through this zone. The AIS will continuously monitor for its own position and range to the regional areas defined. When entering transition zone for Region 1, frequency is changed on the primary channel. The AIS is now sending the primary frequency defined for each of the regions. When the boundary for the Region 1 is crossed, the second frequency shall be changed. Then the primary frequency for the old region (or default setting) is switched with the secondary frequency for the new region. Then both frequencies have changed. When entering another region, frequency transition is performed as described above with the frequencies (settings) of the new region. When leaving a region, frequency transition is performed back to default values. To change the value of this “Transition Zone”, select the button and input value between 1 and 8 (Nautical miles)
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 75 10.1.3.3.5 Define Region A Region must be between 20 an 200 Nautical miles as described above and you must define the Longitudes and Latitudes of the South West and North East corners: The values are defined by selecting these 4 buttons: If the values are within 20 – 200 NM, they will be accepted, and you will be asked if you want to save it: Otherwise you may experience errors: North East corner South West corner

TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 88 10.2.1.5 Priorities From this menu the priorities for the different sensor measurements can be set individually. I.e if the unit receives Heading data from two different sources, the settings here specify what data source to be used. In order to navigate through the different sensors, administrator password is required. Red square shows button selected to get to next menu Priorities of Position, Heading and Rate Of Turn can be configured in this window Select which “ Port” will have lower or higher priority.
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 89 10.2.1.6 Port Monitor Red square shows button selected to get to next menu “Port monitor” is an important feature in TR-8000 Display Unit which can help troubleshooting connection issues with different sensors. The “Port monitor” acts as a Terminal window, showing raw data received on a sensor, similar to Windows “Hyperterminal” First select which “Sensor port” you want to “listen” to And if a Sensor is connected it could look similar to these: The two screenshots above shows Sensor data which are most probably OK, while left screenshot shows corrupt data from incorrectly connected sensor (Polarity of signals are incorrect)
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 90 10.2.2 VHF link/Long Range Red square shows button selected to get to next menu In this menu, configuration of Long Range VHF Link (Silent ON/OFF) can be done, In addition to: Test VHF link communication Display AIS-SART when such equipment are tested 10.2.2.1 Autonomous Long Range Long Range Broadcast Channel A and B are used for broadcasting positions and ship data to a satellite system. Base Stations are able to temporarily disable the Long Range broadcast functionality of the AIS. The Long Range Broadcast may also be disabled manually by administrator. 10.2.2.2 Polled Long Range The Polled Long Range system can be configured to reply automatically or wait for acknowledgement from the user. An indication of received LR messages is displayed for the user in either case.
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 91 10.2.2.3 Silent mode The silent mode is a special mode for travelling in areas where the transmission of own position impose risk to the user. When active, no signals are sent from the Transponder unit, but the user is still able to receive information from other vessels. If the Silent Mode is active for more than 15 minutes, the event is logged in the History Log. CAUTION: The Silent Mode disables the AIS Transmitter functionality and will make the Vessel invisible on the AIS system and impose a risk to other and own vessels. 10.2.2.4 Display SART in TEST mode When AIS-SART was introduced as alternative to traditional Radar SART in 2011, it was obvious that testing such equipment could lead to much “noise” on nearby ships AIS Transponders and ECS/ECDIS as this AIS-SART icon/text message would pop up on all nearby vessels within VHF range (5-40 nautical miles). Therefore, revisions in the AIS standards were made so the person who wants to test the AIS on-board the ship, must first activate this menu item before it will be shown on the vessels AIS and ECS/ECDIS or Chart Plotter. Example showing “Display SART in test mode” and Popup received to be acknowledged by pressing “Close” button PS! Observe that here are “2 popups” received from 2 different AIS-SARTs and each “popup” must be acknowledged. Also observe that AIS-SARTs are displayed in top of the list in the background, and with RED color.
TR-8000 Operator and Installation Manual 92 10.2.2.5 Test Communication The Communications Test is used to test the VHF communication by transmitting a request for an acknowledgement to another ship. The target is automatically selected by the Display Unit, but the user can choose to select another target as long as the target is a Class A AIS transponder. If the Acknowledgment is not received within 10 seconds, the Communications Test has failed and the user should optionally retry with another target. If the TR-8000 is in “Silent mode”, it is not possible to perform this test: If not, we can continue with the test: Step #1: Select Target Step #2: Press “Test” Step #3: Wait until test finished Success: or Failure: If the TEST fails, we can select another target and redo the test
