(OPTION)
1) Connection
1.1) Connecting the AIS processing circuit
If AIS process circuit is not installed in the radar process unit, install it according to the procedures
below:

(1) Set the jumper plugs and the switches, as shown in the figure.
(At installation in the processor, the jumper is installed at the bottom.)

(2) Remove the processor unit cabinet cover.

(3) Set the jumper of the power supply unit.

Set TB3J 2-TB3J3 (DIRECT).

3-43
(4) Remove the connector at J4311 on the CBD-1702A.

(5) Connect the trident ends of the cable (H-7ZCRD0908) attached to the AIS interface circuit to the AIS
interface circuit's connectors as shown in the following table:

Cable side AIS interface side

P1 J1
P400 J400
P510 J510

(6) Securely fix the AIS interface circuit at the location in the processing unit a shown in the following
photograph.

3-44
 (7) Securely mount the terminal board, which has been removed in procedure 1, to the processing unit, pull
the "P4311" labeled end of the cable (H-7ZCRD0908) attached to the AIS interface as shown in the
following photograph, and connect the to the terminal board's connector J4311.

(8) Attach the processing unit cabinet cover and complete the installation of the plotter circuit.

1.2) Connection with the NMEA device

When connecting AIS and this radar, connect the necessary signal line to the attached NMEA data
connector P6 (for J6) LTWBD7BFFA-LL7001 using the following diagram as the reference.

JMA-5200MK2 side AIS device side
