Description

The Simrad RS100-B brings collision-avoidance awareness to the modular RS100 black-box VHF system. Built around the NRS-2 processor, it adds a built-in dual-channel AIS receiver and a Class B AIS transmitter, so nearby AIS-equipped vessels appear on your handsets or networked Simrad display while your own position and vessel details are transmitted for others to see. This package is supplied with the GPS-500 GPS antenna, which provides the position fix required for both DSC distress calls and AIS transmission.

Like the standard RS100, the system is controlled by alphanumeric wired and wireless handsets and speakers placed wherever you need them, expanding to up to four wired handsets, four wireless handsets (eight in total) and four speakers for true vessel-wide communications and intercom. Full Class D Digital Selective Calling, hailer and fog horn functions, a 60-second audio record and replay, and NMEA 2000 networking with backlight sync are all included. A separate VHF/AIS antenna is required for the AIS transmitter and is not supplied.

What is the difference between the RS100 and RS100-B?
The RS100-B uses the NRS-2 processor, which adds a built-in dual-channel AIS receiver and a Class B AIS transmitter, so you can both see other AIS-equipped vessels and transmit your own position. The standard RS100 (NRS-1) is VHF and DSC only. The RS100-B GPS-500 package is also supplied with a GPS-500 antenna.
Does this package include a GPS antenna?
Yes. This RS100-B package is supplied with the GPS-500 GPS antenna, which provides the position fix needed for DSC distress calls and AIS transmission. Because of AIS regulations, the NRS-2 uses this internal GPS source rather than a networked GPS for its AIS transmissions.
Do I need a separate antenna for AIS?
Yes. The Class B AIS transmitter requires an additional VHF/AIS antenna connected to the AIS antenna socket, in addition to the main VHF antenna. Antennas are not supplied with the system.
Does this package include handsets and speakers?
This RS100-B with GPS-500 package is supplied as the NRS-2 black-box module and GPS-500 antenna. It needs at least one HS100 wired handset (or HS40 wireless handset) and speaker to operate, which can be added to suit your installation. The system supports up to eight handsets and four speakers.
Can I pause AIS transmission in port?
Yes. The NRS-2 has an AIS silent mode that pauses AIS transmissions while still receiving. It can be activated from a handset, a connected Simrad or B&G display, or a hardwired switch.
