Description: The basic R5 SUPREME AIS Transponder System consists of three parts
 The R5 SUPREME Transponder
 The R5 SUPREME Control and Display Unit (CDU)
 The R5 AIS Junction Box
The R5 SUPREME Transponder is a Class A unit consists of a transceiver radio unit, a 50
channel GPS receiver, and a controller unit. The radio has three receivers, two tuneable TDMA
receivers and one DSC receiver. The transmitter alternates its transmissions between the two
operating TDMA channels. The controller unit creates and schedules data packets (containing
dynamic, static and voyage related data) for transmission based on the IMO performance
standard for AIS.
The R5 SUPREME CDU is the AIS configuration and display unit. The colour LCD together with
the resistive touch interface provides a graphical user-friendly interface to the system. The
resistive touch panel allows functionality under all weather conditions. Under rough sea, the
rubber keypads can be used instead of the touch interface. With the R5 SUPREME CDU it is
possible to plot the location of other ships, aids to navigation and search and rescue vessels. The
R5 SUPREME CDU can also be used to send and receive messages, perform configuration as
well as supervise the R5 SUPREME transponder systems status. The front hatch of the CDU is
covering an integrated AIS Pilot Plug connector, as well as USB port and MMC/SD card slot.
Note: The hatch has a screw lock mechanism. It is optional to use this lock. Recommended
screwdriver for CDU hatch lock is flat tip 5.5-6.5mm.
The R5 AIS Junction Box allows for easy connection of external equipment to the transponder
unit. The R5 SUPREME transponder shall be connected to the ship‟s sensors as required by the
installation guidelines published by IALA. The R5 SUPREME can interface external navigation
and presentation systems that support required IEC 61162-1 sentences. Refer to chapter 9
“Interpretation of Input Sentences” for more information. The R5 SUPREME is prepared for
connection to Long Range systems like Inmarsat C.
