A couple users have seen that the Supply Voltage on the Status Page is showing as around 8v but when they disconnect and test are getting 12v +.

The Green Power LED is a very good indicator that the AIT5000 transponder is working correctly. The Status web page shows the default values and indicates that there is no NMEA communication between the transponder and the web browser.

The most common causes of this are:-

  1. That the baud rate of NMEA 1 is not set to 38400 baud – this can be checked by using the proAIS2 software running on a laptop and connecting the AIT5000 via USB.
  2. That the NMEA 0183 Output wires (Orange and Brown) on the main Power/Data cable, are shorted together or to other wires, stopping the NMEA 0183 data transmission.

Please check that neither of these two issues are causing your problem. If you are still experiencing an issue, please contact our Support Team by creating a ticket here.
