Modern Technology to ensure safety at sea
AIS Tester M1 is professional equipment for surveyors providing mandatory annual testing of Class A and Class B AIS mobile and base stations, AtoNs and AIS-SARTs in accordance with IMO and SOLAS requirements. The device complies with the IMO Circular MSC.1/Circ.1252 - Guidelines on annual testing of the AIS unit.
AIS Tester M1 is a globally recognized testing tool that has been used in radio surveys for over 15 years and has proven its reliability in the field.
It is designed for annual surveys and shore-based maintenance in accordance with IMO requirements for AIS testing (IMO Circular MSC.1/Circ.1252, “Guidelines on annual testing of the AIS unit”). The AIS Tester M1 allows surveyors to check any AIS station, ensuring that its functional parameters comply with the appropriate IMO standards.
The tester is an industry standard and is continuously improving. Our engineers regularly release firmware and software updates, keeping the tool at the forefront of technology.
With the AIS Tester M1, a radio surveyor can confidently check any AIS station, whether it is an older model or a modern one. You can review the technical specifications by clicking the button below.
Approximate continuous operation time using the battery – about 5 hours.
The tester power supply is performed by four AA batteries 1,5V, as well as by external DC source with voltage 4,5…7V and load current no less than 500 mA.
Tester displays internal battery voltage with accuracy ± 5%.
The tester is designed to operate at the temperature range from +5С to +45С and relative air humidity should be no more than 95%, which is determined by used LCD.
AIS Tester M1 is professional equipment designed for surveyors to perform mandatory annual testing of Class A and Class B AIS mobile stations and AIS-SARTs.
It is manufactured according to the standards and recommendations of ITU-R M-1371-3, M.1371-5 (02/2014) and IEC 61993-2, and is capable of operating on AIS Channel 1 (ch87B) and AIS Channel 2 (ch88B). Thus, this tool can test any AIS device.
The standard set is shipped in a cardboard box. A watertight and crushproof plastic case is available for order at an additional cost.
