Matsutec HA 102 ais

[Pagetslady]

Hi I am not getting any response from the last post on this, so here goes again. I have bought a Matsutec HA102 transponder and plan to fit it tomorrow to My Raymarine C120 what I want to know is does the AIS output the GPS with the AIS signal at 38400 Baud rate. or do I have to connect the GPS wires into my system, as from what I can see it transmits this at 9600 Baud rate. the ais I have at the moment takes the GPS signal and sends it to the plotter with the AIS signal at 38400 Baud rate. C120 0nly has one NMEA input so can only accept one baud rate setting.

If you already have an AIS receiver which works OK with the plotter, why not leave that as it is and just install the Matsutec as a standalone transceiver?

Lower power consumption - one device rather than two?

I had not thought of that except it will need another Arial

I'm sure that all AIS tranceivers will send the GPS data along with the AIS data at 38,400. Be careful not to have two lots of GPS signals getting onto the system either because you have two GPS receivers or because you have an NMEA signal loop. I have a C80 based system and the red N moving, undeleteable waypoint on the plotter screen caused by a loop drove me to distraction!

Why don't you just connect it up in the sane way as your existing AIS receiver is connected and see it the GPS signal is shown on you C120.

Thats what I would do.

Hi Roger thanks for your reply, i know you are on the other thread I started, what I want to know is if the AIS transmits GPS with its connection what is the other connection cables for GPS + & - in and out for.?

I wonder if your HA102 is like my X8000 in that that are a lot of wires coming out for different standards, NMEA1083, NMEA2000 etc so I had to pick the 4 wires which transmitted and, in my case, received NMEA0183. The rest of the wires are unused. I would just connect up the NMEA 38400 AIS outputs and see what happens as others have suggested.

Hi well I have connected it up it receives ok but does not transmit and doesn't send data to my plotter but I don't know if it is receiving a GPS signal, I have ordered a GPS antenna today so will see what happens when that arrives, one problem is there is only two output cables shown on the instructions I have on each is for the NMEA output and one for the NMEA ais output both of these are I assume positive + but there are no negative - connections have you any idea which colour wires are the respective negatives. I have configured it which all went well, the RX lights flash but no transmit.
Regards Mike

I'm sure you will need a GPS antenna if there's a BNC/TNC type of socket.

This thread http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...a102-ais-transponder-to-raymarine-158185.html says there are rx + and - and tx + and - but it doesn't give the colours for some reason.

Thanks for the link, I have already downloaded the instruction manual however the wiring info is different to the the wiring info on the disc supplied, but I dont know if I am receiving a GPS signal so have ordered a GPS antenna I thought it might receive without,
