FAQ
What is the difference between a Class A and Class B AIS transceiver?
Class A AIS transceivers like the SAS-900 are mandatory for SOLAS vessels (commercial ships over 300 GT on international voyages and passenger ships of any size). They transmit at higher power (12.5W), update positions more frequently, and support a wider range of message types including safety-related messaging. Class B units are typically used by recreational and smaller commercial vessels with lower transmit power and less frequent updates. If your vessel requires SOLAS compliance or you operate in a professional commercial or military capacity, Class A is the required and appropriate choice.
Is the SAS-900 suitable for use in military or government vessel applications?
Yes. The SAS-900 is specifically engineered for continuous operation in harsh commercial and military environments. Its IPx7 weatherproofing and integrated shock and vibration protection make it well-suited for demanding government and defense applications where reliability and durability are non-negotiable.
Does the SAS-900 require an external chartplotter or display?
No. The SAS-900 features a large integrated 6" high-definition color screen with a full Electronic Chart display engine built in. You can view detailed chart overlays with live AIS target data directly on the unit itself, without requiring a separate chartplotter or MFD.
What does IPx7 weatherproofing mean for the SAS-900?
IPx7 is an ingress protection rating indicating the unit can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. In practical marine terms, this means the SAS-900 is protected against rain, spray, wave wash, and incidental immersion - giving you confidence in its reliability in open-deck or exposed helm installations.
What is the MOB feature on the SAS-900?
MOB stands for Man Overboard. The SAS-900 includes innovative MOB features that allow the crew to instantly mark and track a man overboard position, leveraging the AIS system and integrated chart display to assist in swift recovery. This is an important safety feature for any commercially operated or offshore vessel.
