Description

The easyTRX3S is the further development of the easyTRX3 AIS Class B transponder with SOTDMA technology and 5 watt transmission power. WiFi and ME SENSE Relay for smart boat monitoring have been added to the transponder.With the standard WiFi module, all AIS data received via the NMEA network can be forwarded to a wirelessly connected end device such as a tablet or smartphone or to a chart plotter. Thanks to its Bluetooth functionality, the easyTRX3S can also serve as the heart of the ME SENSE yacht monitoring system. The data from up to 20 sensors and 10 actuators is transmitted to the relay via Bluetooth. From there, it is transmitted to the ME SENSE app via the marina’s Wi-Fi network or your own LTE router. This allows the yacht itself to be monitored conveniently from home.SOTDMA technologyBased on AIS Class B SOTDMA (Self Organized Time Division Multiple Access) technology, the easyTRX3S transmits with higher (5 watts) transmission power and priority. The transmission slots for the next four transmissions are reserved automatically. Even in areas with high traffic volumes, the easyTRX3S is always able to transmit position reports, as SOTDMA has priority over regular AIS Class B devices with CSTDMA (Carrier Sense Time Division Multiple Access). The higher transmission rate improves the visibility of your own AIS position reports on AIS-capable systems.Integrated GPS antenna and active VHF antenna splitterThe integrated GPS antenna increases the independence of mounting the easyTRX3S device on board. On GRP and wooden yachts, only a power connection and a VHF connection are required. On steel yachts, the external GPS antenna available as an accessory improves reception. The integrated, active VHF antenna splitter ensures that the same antenna can be used for VHF radio and AIS. The preamplifier reduces the physical loss to a minimum.FeaturesInternationally certified AIS Class B transponderSOTDMA (time slot method) technology with 5 watts of radiated transmission powerFaster transmission intervals (depending on the speed of the vessel)Complies with the new international standard IEC62287-2CPA alarm & anchor alarmInternal memory for recording travel data (black box)Configuration of the device with USB power supply possibleInternal data memory can be read out with USB power supplyIntegrated WiFiIntegrated antenna splitterIntegrated GPS antennaConnections: NMEA2000, NMEA0183 and USBWater-, weather-, shock- and vibration-resistant, handy housingIoT ME SENSE yacht monitoringAlternatively available with additional LAN or DVB-T/FM radio moduleTechnical data1 channel VHF transmitter2-channel VHF receiver (AIS frequencies: 161.975 MHz and 162.025 MHz)72-channel GNSS/GPS receiverChannel sensitivity: = -112 dBmProtection class: IP67 (dust and waterproof against temporary submersion)Intended for installation below deckOperating temperature: -10°C to + 55°CNMEA output message: VDMTransmission power: 5 WOperating voltage: 9 – 32 voltsDimensions (L/W/H): 190 x 135 x 60 mmWeight: approx. 700 gScope of deliveryeasyTRX3S transpondereasyTRX3S connection cable (approx. 2 m)Connection cable easyTRX3S to VHF radiotelephone (approx. 1 m)USB connection cable (approx. 1.8 m)Quick guide (the detailed user manual can be downloaded from the internal memory)Programming software for Windows PC and Apple Mac on internal memoryWiFi antennasApprovalsApproved by BSHAIS according to IEC 62287-2:2017Environment according to IEC 60945:2002GPS according to IEC 61108-2003 and EN 301843-1:2004Product safety according to EN 60950-1 ITU-R M.1371-5
