Description

This product communicates with other equipoment via NMEA1083, however, if you need NMEA2000 an Onwa NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 bi-directional converter will do this for you and also add wi-fi to your system as a bonus.

Perfect for use as a stand alone transmitter/receiver to send your AIS details out to all AIS equipped vessels within range and see other AIS equipped vessels.  Can easily be linked by the data cable provided to an existing plotter so that all AIS vessels in range can be overlaid onto the chart page of your plotter. If you have an Onwa non-AIS plotter, this already has an AIS 'radar' page built in together with CPA* and TCPA* alarms that can be user set - this is a very valuable safety feature.

*CPA = closest point of approach        *TCPA = time to closes point of approach


There are two versions

KS-200A, this is the box of tricks that receives AIS transmissions for other vessels giving you their COG, SOG, Position and MMSI etc details. At the same time it will be sending your same information to all other AIS equipped boats within range. It is a completely self contained unit and just needs power, GPS and AIS antennas to function. This posting refers to this version.

KS-200A SART, this is the same device but with the addition of a button on the unit that when pressed will send out a distress message to all AIS vessels within range.


Programming the KS-200A with a vessel's AIS details:

AIS details (MMSI etc) must be set into both the KS-200A and KS-200A/SART.

Setting up the KS-200A with your vessels' AIS details (MMSI, name etc) requires some technical knowledge and additional hardware in the form of an NMEA/Serial to USB interface is required. We do this for you at no cost before dispatch. Should you ever change your boat - no problem, just return the 200A and we will amend your boat details to match the new boat. No cost apart from return postage.
