5.4 Indicator functions

The Mariner X2 includes four coloured indicators as shown in Figure

20. The state of the indicators provides information regarding the

status of the Mariner X2.

Figure 20 Indicator location on the Mariner X2 unit

The meaning of typical indicator configurations is shown in the table

below and Figure 20 shows the orientation of the Mariner X2.

The Mariner X2 is powered up, has a position fix and has

transmitted at least one vessel information report.

The Mariner X2 has detected a system error. The likely

causes of this are detailed in the troubleshooting guide in

section

Indicator lights

Blue Red Amber Green

When the switch function is configured to activate the

silent mode feature and the switch has been depressed

for more than two seconds, this combination of indicators

will be illuminated to show that the transmitter is disabled.

This arrangement of indicators will also be visible if the

Mariner X2 has been configured for the blue indicator to

signify received AIS messages. In this case the blue

indicator will rapidly turn on and off as messages are

received.

The Mariner X2 is in 'transmit timeout' mode. This can be

for a number of reasons:

• The unit has only recently been powered on and is

obtaining a position fix prior to transmitting its first

vessel information report. (This process can take

several minutes).

• Position fix has been lost. The Mariner X2 will attempt

to regain position fix for 30 minutes before entering an

error state.

• The AIS radio channels are exceptionally busy so

there is currently no available timeslot for

transmission.

• The unit has been in silent mode and after deactivating

silent mode this amber indicator will illuminate until the

first AIS message has been sent

• The Mariner X2 has been commanded by the local

authority (via an AIS Basestation) to cease

transmissions.

When the switch function is configured to activate safety

related messages and the switch has been depressed for

more than two seconds the blue indicator will illuminate for

1 minute. It is not possible to send a safety related

message at a rate of more than once per minute.
