easyTRX2S Class B AIS Service, Repair, Maintenance & MMSI Reprogramming

Certified marine engineering services for the easyTRX2S Class B AIS (Class B (2W CSTDMA)). Seanav provides 24/7 onboard attendance, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1252 annual performance testing (APT), static data reprogramming (MMSI, IMO, Call Sign), password unlock, RF power amplifier rebuilds, and bridge sensor interfacing across UAE, India, Singapore, and worldwide ports.

AIS Class: Class B (2W CSTDMA)
RF Output: 2.0 W (CSTDMA)
Power Input: 10 – 32 VDC
Standard: IEC 62287-1, ITU-R M.1371

1. Technical Service, Repair & Maintenance Scope

The easyTRX2S Class B AIS is a high-precision marine AIS transponder engineered for demanding offshore and commercial shipping applications. Routine maintenance and specialized component-level repair ensure uninterrupted VHF data exchange on 161.975 MHz (AIS 1) and 162.025 MHz (AIS 2) per ITU-R M.1371.

🔧 RF Circuitry & Transceiver Repair

  • Internal VHF power amplifier (PA) transistor inspection and power level tuning
  • Receiver sensitivity measurement (-107 dBm threshold verification)
  • VHF Antenna VSWR matching and coaxial cable loss diagnostics
  • DSC Channel 70 receiver tuning and telecommand response tests

🔄 MMSI Reprogramming & Password Reset

  • Flag change static data reprogramming (9-digit MMSI, 7-digit IMO, Call Sign)
  • Internal GNSS antenna position offsets entry (Dimensions A, B, C, D in meters)
  • Dealer password recovery and supervisor security PIN unlock
  • Dedicated service interface using Weatherdock easyTRX2S Setup Tool

📋 Annual Radio Survey & APT Testing

  • IMO MSC.1/Circ.1252 annual performance testing with Futronic MKII / Argonaut
  • RF forward/reflected power measurement (tolerance within ±1.5 dB)
  • Transmitter frequency tolerance calibration (within ±500 Hz)
  • Pilot plug signal amplitude and polarity compliance verification

🔌 Bridge Sensor & Pilot Plug Interfacing

  • Gyrocompass HDT / THS heading input configuration at 4800 / 38400 baud
  • ECDIS and ARPA Radar target tracking interface (AIVDM / AIVDO sentences)
  • VDR dual-stream output synchronization
  • Standard IEC 61162-2 pilot plug interface validation

2. Reprogramming Procedures & Dealer Configuration (easyTRX2S Class B AIS)

During vessel flag registration change, sale, or structural alteration, the static data on the easyTRX2S Class B AIS must be updated strictly by certified marine electronics engineers. Modifying protected static parameters requires authorized dealer access:

  1. Connection & Diagnostic Hookup: Connect the Seanav service PC to the maintenance port or front-panel service interface using the dedicated interface adapter.
  2. Service Software Initiation: Execute Weatherdock easyTRX2S Setup Tool with authorized engineering credentials to bypass user-level locks.
  3. MMSI Re-initialization: Clear the existing 9-digit MMSI from the transponder EEPROM and input the newly assigned Maritime Mobile Service Identity.
  4. Static Vessel Details Entry: Input the official IMO ship identification number, radio Call Sign, official vessel name, and ITU ship type / cargo classification.
  5. GNSS Offset Alignment: Enter exact physical measurements (Offsets A, B, C, D) from the internal GPS antenna to the bow, stern, port, and starboard hull edges.
  6. Verification & Test Transmission: Conduct an interrogation cycle with our calibrated AIS test box to verify that updated static data packages (Message 5 / Message 24) broadcast accurately over the VDL.
