The ST162-T1 features an internal VHF antenna and is pre-configured with 10 AIS messages including 6 unique MMSI numbers, allowing fast and simple operation straight out of the box. Simply turn on the ST162-T1 and begin testing.
The included PC software enables programming of up to 100 AIS messages. Along with standard ship messages, the ST162-T1 can also simulate an AIS Aid to Navigation (AtoN), Safety Related Message (SRM), Search and Rescue Transmitter (SART) and binary message types.
Appropriate for both lab and field technicians, the ST162-T1 is housed in a compact, rugged, lightweight and highly visible Pelican™ 1200 series enclosure, and is powered by two alkaline C cell batteries. The control panel is protected against exposure to UV, dust, impact and water immersion by IP67-rated hardware. All removable parts, including connector caps and battery covers, are tethered for use on active runways.
Highlights
- Generates Up to 100 AIS Messages
