An advanced AIS transponder with a high-resolution color TFT display for easy identification of AIS traffic, dangerous traffic and friends with intuitive color coding. The Icom MA-510TR is ideal for both boats without a plotter or as a backup /second station for boats with a plotter or navigation software already installed. The MA-510TR advanced AIS transponder boasts a whole host of important features including a navigation function that guides the operator to their destination, silent mode, USB-connectivity, man overboard navigation function and collision alarm function.
Standalone AIS Transponder
The MA-510TR is a compact standalone AIS transponder that can be installed in a convenient place near the chart table, in the wheelhouse, on the fly bridge or on a pedestal in the cockpit and would make an invaluable safety addition to small vessels. The MA-510TR automatically receives information broadcast by other AIS-equipped vessel’s and base stations, and transmits your own vessel’s static and dynamic information. AIS signals can be received without line of sight as required by radar, showing AIS-equipped vessels that might otherwise be hidden, such as on the other side of an island, or behind a larger vessel.
4.3-inch-Wide Viewing Angle Colour TFT Display
The wide viewing, high-resolution 4.3-inch colour TFT display clearly shows your and other vessels’ positions. Dangerous vessels are shown in red and ships registered as your friends are shown in yellow. The day-mode display is readable in direct sunlight, and the night-mode display ensures good readability in the dark for further convenience.
AIS Target List and Details
The ‘Target’ list screen shows all detected AIS equipped vessels and targets. The ‘Danger’ list screen shows a list of vessels that are within six nautical miles of Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and sixty minutes of Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA) from your vessel. The ‘Friend’ list screen displays the detected AIS targets that you set as friends. When you want to see target details, select the target with the cursor keys and push the [ENT] key.
Simplified Navigation Function
The Navigation function guides you to a specified waypoint or AIS target. You can assign a maximum of 100 favourite locations or points of interest. The Navigation function is simply started by just selecting a waypoint or an AIS target on the display. The Target Filtering Function allows you to find your desired target point even if you have too many targets on screen by temporarily filtering out categories such as waypoints and friends.
Navigation to MOB with Dedicated Physical Button
The MA-510TR can assist you in finding a person who has fallen overboard. When the MOB button is pressed, the GPS automatically marks a waypoint at the current location allowing you to navigate to that MOB waypoint.
Individual DSC Call (Requires a compatible VHF: IC-M605EURO, IC-M506/GE, IC-M510, IC-M424G/E, IC-M400BB/BBE or IC-M330GE)
You can transmit an individual DSC Call by merely selecting an AIS target and the voice channel on the MA-510TR.
Collision Alarm Function
When a vessel comes into the CPA or TCPA range, the vessel’s icon blinks on the plotter display and a beep sound is heard. When connected to external audio equipment installed on the chart table or fly bridge, the collision alarm function will alert you even when you are away from the AIS transponder.
Silent Mode for Security and Privacy
Silent mode switches off the AIS transmitter for security and privacy. This function is useful when you do not want to reveal your fishing spots to other vessels. You can receive other vessel’s AIS reports while the silent mode is ON.
NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 and USB Connectivity
With the plug-and-play functionality of NMEA 2000™, the MA-510TR can connect to a NMEA 2000 network (an external plotter, marine radar and VHF radio). Using NMEA 0183HS connectivity, the transponder can connect to a transceiver, plotter device, marine radar or GPS receiver. AIS data can be output from a USB cable connector on the rear panel. Suitable for connection to compatible software on a PC or laptop.
A 66-channel parallel GPS receiver with SBAS function is supplied as standard with the MA-510TR.
