Ais Transmitting Data - Weatherdock Easy TRX2S serie Handbuch

• "Receiver": When the device has received AIS data for the first
time after switch-on the status changes from "Standby" to "OK".
If there is any fault in the device, "Error" is displayed and the
device does not work properly anymore (needs repair). The box
"Error Message" gives information about the error.
The "Hardware Status" displays the value of operating voltage.
Important is the value stated in "Supply Voltage (TX)". This is the
voltage level during transmission. Here the easyTRX2S device is shortly
drawing approx. 2 A. If the cables are too thin and very long, the
voltage may drop down well below the "Idle"-level (resting value)
which might guide to a lower radiation performance. Perhaps you
should consider using cables with larger copper diameter and check all
contact connections, respectively.
The values RSSI1 and RSSI2 give information, if there are any interferers
on the two AIS frequencies. This may be caused by e. g. a faulty
electrical device on board. If there are no interferers the status is "OK".
"TX Forward Power, TX Reverse Power" are "OK" if the connected VHF
antenna is working properly. If the antenna has short circuited or the
antenna cable is disconnected "Error" is displayed.
The LED display of an easyTRX2S device is also displayed in the
software.
If the check routine of the easyTRX2S device noticed any fault, or if
there is a warning, a short notice will be given in the respective tables.
The easyTRX2S executes a self-test every 30 seconds and displays the
result. As a result each error or warning report has got a countdown of
1 minute. This means the report disappears from the table if the error
or warning message is not received once again within 1 minute. Thus
the error or warning no longer exists.

The tab "Sent Data" gives information about the last AIS data sent by
the easyTRX2S Transceiver.
