AIT6000 Class B+ AIS Transponder: Nucleus Class B + AIS Transponder with SPAIS satellite AIS compatibility, alerts & an integrated NMEA 2000 wifi Gateway. The AIT6000 is Digital Yacht’s Class B+ AIS transponder, set to replace the AIT5000. It retains all the features that made the AIT5000 successful—an integrated and patented ZeroLoss VHF antenna splitter, 5W SOTDMA transmissions, and NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, wireless, and USB interfaces—while introducing several major innovations: SPAIS Satellite Tracking: The AIT6000 incorporates Digital Yacht’s latest SPAIS™ (space AIS) technology with AIS transmissions now enabled for reception by AIS satellites. This functionality can be easily enabled from the set up menu and will prioritise your AIS transmissions for satellite reception, ideal for offshore and ocean sailors. Integrated NMEA 2000 Gateway: The AIT6000 has also been designed to become an onboard hub for navigation. It features NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 connectivity for modern navigation systems. It also has PC connectivity via USB and a wireless interface supporting up to 7 tablets or phones which can utilise the data for app integration. AIT6000 adds a lot of interfacing capability through this WiFi interface with not just AIS and GPS data from the transponder being sent but also boat instrument data from the NMEA 2000 network thanks to its internal NMEA 2000 multiplexer – such as depth, heading, speed and wind information. Built-In Collision & Anchor Alarms: The AIT6000 also has a built in interface accessible via any connected device for diagnostics, silence of AIS transmissions and also alerts for anchor drift and AIS closest point of approach (CPA) and time to CPA (TCPA). These alarms can be monitored through the wireless interface with an attractive graphical display of current status or NMEA 2000 alerts can be sent over the NMEA 2000 network for pop up notifications or NavAlarm audible activations. This allows navigators to receive critical collision-avoidance warnings even when a chartplotter is not in use. There is also a switched output on the AIT6000 power data cable which allows the alarm to attach to a sounder, relay or connect to a 3rd party system for alert activation. Web Interface with Integrated Alarms: Installation is simple with an integrated and patented zero-loss VHF antenna splitter so the main VHF antenna is used for both AIS and VHF operation.
