The CSB200 is a low cost AIS Class B Transponder, designed specifically for the
small Commercial Boat, Fishing Boat and Leisure Markets. It meets the new
Class B Standard that allows vessels that are not required to fit Class A units
to voluntarily fit an AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponder.

The CSB200 is a compact self contained unit which when connected to
an external VHF and GPS antenna will transmit its own vessels position
and data, and also receive information from other vessels, shore stations
and Navigational aids within VHF range. Connected to a compatible
on board PC running a Navigation Program, or Chart Plotter, the
information can be displayed on screen giving the skipper a visual
interpretation of the name, position, course and speed of other vessels.

The CSB200 provides a small vessel with:

• automatic transmission of vessels own position, speed and heading to other vessels within VHF range
• a method of monitoring the position, speed and heading of other vessels within VHF range
• the ability to plot the progress, changes in heading and speed of other vessels on a PC or Chart Plotter
• a vessels name, call sign and MMSI number to call up the target vessel on a DSC radio and ascertain their intentions
  automatic transmission of vessels own position, speed and heading to other vessels within VHF range
   

The information that is transmitted by the CSB200 is as follows:

         • Name of vessel                  • Call Sign                  • Type of vessel
         • Speed (SOG)                     • Course (COG)          • Heading
         • Vessel dimensions             • MMSI Number          • Position

• Transmissions from both Class A and Class B vessels
• Safety messages
• Aids to Navigation

The CSB200 is compatible with PC Navigation programs
and Chart Plotters that are capable of accepting standard
NMEA 0183 AIS sentences.
For information about compatibility please
consult your local Marine Electronics Dealer.
