Description Technical Specs
 
Icom’s MXA-5000 AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver will pick up real-time transmissions from vessels that use an AIS transponder. Such transponders are now required for SOLAS vessels by SOLAS regulations. The AIS transponder sends accurate navigation information such as: Static Information — Vessel call sign, name, MMSI number, dimensions, type Voyage-Related Information — Draft, cargo type, destination and estimated time of arrival Dynamic Information — Time in universal time, coordinated, latitude/ longitude position, course over ground, speed over ground, heading, rate of turn, navigational status.
Features
  • Dual Channel Receive Capability
  • The MXA-5000 receives both Ch. 87B (161.975MHz) and Ch. 88B (162.025MHz) simultaneously. This dual channel receive makes the MXA-5000 more flexible for obtaining AIS information from AIS transponders that operate on only one channel. In addition, the MXA-5000 also receives both Class A and Class B AIS data.
  • Dual Mode Data Output
  • The MXA-5000 has two data output. One is RS-422 for connection with equipment such as marine radar or GPS chart plotter. Those equipments, which accept the VDM sentence format, will show the AIS data on the display.
  • The second is RS-232C for PC connection. When using with AIS plotter software*, the MXA-5000 allows you to monitor other vessel traffic on your PC.
  • * Not supplied from Icom.
  • Built-in Antenna Splitter to Share One Antenna
  • The MXA-5000 can be installed between a VHF antenna and a VHF radio. While receiving a VHF radio signal*, the MXA-5000 receives AIS data. When you transmit from the connected VHF radio, the TX signal bypasses the MXA-5000 to protect the internal circuit.
  • * Insertion loss: 3.5dB (approx.)
  • GPS Data Multiplex
  • When connected a GPS receiver to the MXA-5000, GPS position information such as RMC, GGA, GNS and GLL formats can be multiplexed with AIS data (VDM format) and simplifies wiring.
  • Compact Size and Light Weight Body
  • The MXA-5000 is only 132(W)×34(H)×155(D)* mm and weighs only 400g* for easy and flexible installation.
  • * Mounting bracket is not included in the dimensions and weight.
