The following LED status modes will be available to assist in the quick diagnosis of issues:
Green LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver is configured, powered up and operating normally.
Amber LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver is not transmitting. This can be for a number of reasons:
• The AIS radio channels are exceptionally busy so there are currently no available slots for transmission.
• The unit has been in silent mode and after deactivating silent mode this amber LED indicator will illuminate until the first AIS message has been sent.
• The AIS transceiver has been commanded by the local authority (via an AIS base station) to cease transmissions.
Red LED indicator
Indicates that the AIS transceiver has detected a system error. The likely causes of this are detailed in the troubleshooting guide in the B200 user manual. Alarms displayed in the Diagnostic tab of the em-trak configuration tools will also assist with troubleshooting.
Blue LED indicator
Indicates that silent mode is enabled. Silent mode is a feature of the B200 that ceases the transmissions from your own vessel, whilst the reception of other vessel position reports continue.
You can activate this using the configuration tools or by activating the toggle switch as detailed in the B200 user manual.
Green/Yellow/Red LED indicator
Indicates the AIS transceiver is operating from the internal battery. The colour of the indicator flashes give information on the charge state of the battery:
green – good charge level;
yellow – ok charge level;
red – low charge level.
If you see any different LED status lights displayed, or if you have any questions about the examples shown above, then please contact the Customer Support Team for advice at: support@em-trak.com. Alternatively, connect your B200 to the latest version of ProAIS2 to check the diagnostic status of your unit.
