Description
The Simrad V5043 is a full-featured Class A AIS transponder system that delivers everything needed for IMO compliance at excellent value, and is also type approved for Inland AIS applications. Supplied as a complete standalone package with a junction box, GPS antenna, integrated pilot plug, cables and mounting hardware, it requires only a VHF antenna to complete the installation. A larger 4.3-inch colour display with an easy 11-key backlit keypad lets the V5043 be configured and operated on its own, showing AIS information in radar, alphanumeric and GNSS satellite views.
Adding AIS greatly enhances safety at sea, giving an instant overview of surrounding traffic and the movements of other vessels, including in radar blind zones. The V5043 transmits and receives on the two AIS channels, includes a dedicated DSC receiver and a 72-channel GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo with SBAS. Comprehensive connectivity through three bi-directional NMEA 0183 ports, a NMEA 2000 bus and an Ethernet interface lets it share AIS data with navigation systems such as the Simrad MX610 and MX612 and E5000-series ECDIS, with the pilot plug available on the front panel or via a remote connection.
