AMEC - CAMINO-108S: DESIGNED TO DELIVER DATA AIS
The Camino 108S is designed to provide high-performance data transmission AIS. Thanks to this small, robust unit, your data will be transmitted to other vessels equipped with AIS devices; and you will receive their data by displaying it on a plotter or PC. This AIS is the easiest way to reduce the risk of collision at sea.
The dual-channel receiver tracks all vessels equipped with AIS class A or B, AtoN beacons and SARTs. Integration with the onboard navigation system is via NMEA0183 4800/38400baud, NMEA2000, and USB ports for PC connection. Data AIS can be easily backed up via the integrated SD card reader.

What is the difference between AIS class A and AIS class B?
Charles, the 05/06/2025
Hello Charles, AIS class A transponders are intended for professional vessels and are mandatory on some boats. They transmit at 12.5 W, send complete data every 2 to 10 seconds and have a high priority on the AIS network.
Class B transponders, designed for pleasure craft, are optional, transmit at 2 W, send data every 30 seconds and have reduced visibility, except for the more powerful SOTDMA models.
In short, Class A is more powerful and higher priority, but more expensive; Class B is simpler and more suitable for pleasure boating.

Is-possible to temporarily deactivate the AIS transmission on my transponder?
Daniel, the 05/06/2025
Hello Daniel, Yes, you can temporarily disable the AIS transmission on the Camino-108S. This function is often referred to as "Silent Mode". To activate this function, you need to connect an external switch between the pink and light blue (or light green) wires of the Camino-108S's 12-pin data cable.
By toggling this switch, you can activate or deactivate the AIS transmission at your convenience

Do-I have to register my transponder with the authorities?
Alain, the 05/06/2025
Hello Alain, yes, you need to register your transponder with a competent maritime authority, as it transmits an MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) identifier. This registration is mandatory for your vessel to be legally identified on the AIS network. Registration is carried out with theANFR.
