1.2. easyAIS
Thank you to buy an easyAIS from the company Weatherdock AG. It is
the latest and the best available unit in the market. The core features
are:
2 channel AIS receiver with newest µP technology
Highest sensitivity (-112dBm) at optimised selectivity
Integrated multiplexer upconverting from 4,8kB to 38,4kB
Enlarged DC power input from 9-28VDC
1.3. Use of easyAIS
It is very simple to use.
After mounting and connecting to the chartplotter or the PC is nothing
more to do with the unit.
The Green LED is on, if correct connected to the board power
The Channel A LED is flickering, each time there is an AIS signal received
on channel A
The Channel B LED is flickering, each time there is an AIS signal received
on channel B
1.4. Package contains
The package contains:
The easyAIS 2. Generation
The cable to connect to the PC or chartplotter
Adapter plug to use the easyAIS with the PC (SUB-D 9)
2 stainless steel screws to mount the easySPLIT.

1.5. Mounting of the easyAIS
The easyAIS is equipped with a enhanced driver circuit. Therefore it is
possible to have the easyAIS mounted in a distance up to 10m from the
Chartplotter.
The easyAIS should not be mounted close to other units transmitting
and receiving radio signals.
The easyAIS is mounted with 2 screws under deck. Please leave some
space of about 125mm below the unit so that the cables entering the
unit do have enough space
If you use an own AIS antenna, please assure that the antenna is at least
1m in distance mounted to the VHF antenna, otherwise part of the
transmission power of the VHF is entering the easyAIS and disturbs the
excellent performance.
The easyAIS is connected to the antenna and to the PC or the
chartplotter

Chartplotter
The only thing you have to do is:
to connect the white (out +) cable to your input (+) of the NMEA port
to connect the green (out –) cable to your input (-) of the NMEA port
Please find details of the settings in your Chartplotter manual. Every
chartplotter is a little bit different.
Nevertheless the main settings of your input NMEA channel should be:
Select the right input channel at your Chartplotter. (Some do have up to
3 and more input channels)
Set transmission data rate to 38400
Set the input channel of the chartplotter to the following bit
configuration: 8/N/1

The only thing you have to do is:
to connect the white (NMEA out +) cable to PIN 2 of the SUB-D9
connector (enclosed in the package).
to connect the green (NMEA out –) cable to PIN 5 of the SUB-D9
connector (enclosed in the package).
Plug the cable to the serial port of your computer.
If your computer does not have a serial port anymore, which is often the
case with new computers, you can use also a serial<->USB adapter.
But if you use such an adapter please do first install the adapter. Please
assure that the adapter is not yet connected to the easyAIS. In some
cases this could lead to misinstallation of the adapter and a final reliable
use of the easyAIS is not possible.
Select the right input port at your PC
Set transmission data rate to 38400
Set the input port to the following bit configuration: 8/N/1
