VIJA-540AIS Type 1 Solar Marine Lantern with AIS AtoN, 5–12 NM

Product description

The VIJA-540AIS Type 1 is a solar-powered lantern that works automatically with 282 flash characters. It integrates an AIS AtoN Type 1 automatic identification system, flashes in sync using GPS, has built-in position and status monitoring, and is used for marine aids to navigation.

Features

• Bird spike.
• High-intensity LEDs.
• Visible range: 5–12 NM.
• Runs for over 25 days without sun.
• 48 W monocrystalline solar panels, 17.5% efficiency.
• 48 Ah, 12 V lithium battery.
• Waterproof to IP67.

Integrated AIS AtoN Type 1

• Frequency range: 156.025 MHz to 162.025 MHz.
• Channel bandwidth: 25 kHz.
• Transmit power: 1 W, 2 W, 5 W or 12.5 W.
• Data rate: 9600 bit/s (GMSK).
• AIS messages: standard messages 6, 8 and 21; transmits 24 hours a day.
• FATDMA channel access.
• GPS and VHF (156–163 MHz) antennas built into the lantern body.
• AIS parameters set from a computer over USB.

Technology

• Built-in monitoring of the installed position and operating status: the lantern sends its readings to the control centre over the 4G GSM mobile network so the aids-to-navigation system can be managed and operated remotely, and they are shown on the mar.vijalight.com digital map.
• Solar panels, battery, control circuit and AIS are integrated in one sealed unit rated IP67, so the lantern works reliably in waves, wind and salt water.
• An environmentally friendly LFP battery reduces the weight and makes installation, operation and maintenance easy.

Dimensions

Ø375 mm base, 545 mm high. Weight 12 kg. Option: mounting flange for 4 holes on a 200 mm diameter.
