JRC JHS-183 AIS

JRC

The JRC JHS-183 AIS (Automatic Identification System) can be a critical navigation device for collision avoidance and enhanced maneuvering. The compact system includes a slimline display and a transponder designed for long range reception.

The JRC JHS-183 AIS system’s new display sports multiple easily accessible modes on a highly visible 4.5-inch LCD display that is fully dimmable with backlit keys. Its dual LED backlights are adjustable for optimal visibility on the bridge. Other unique features include option to display up to 200 AIS targets, advanced interfacing, supports the reception of AIS-SART1 signals, and includes a built-in automatic self-diagnosis function.

This is an important piece of navigation equipment for collision avoidance and maneuvering, featuring an all new display and a transponder designed for long range reception. With JRC’s new design approach, a flush mount kit is not required and screws are nicely concealed behind the front cover.

AIS is a ship borne system capable of regularly broadcasting own ship’s unique information and continually receiving and displaying information broadcast from other vessels. The JHS-183 AIS can “see around corners”, allowing avoidance of dangers before visual contact has been established. All ship’s information including static and voyage related data such as the ship’s name and cargo, as well as its dynamic navigational information, i.e., position, course, and speed can be transmitted and received.

The JRC JHS-183 AIS is an important piece of navigation equipment onboard for collision avoidance and maneuvering. The information broadcast from other ships displayed on the AIS, together with the geographical information shown on the radar or ECDIS provides highly important data for strategic decisions and for prompt contact with other ships.
