Digital Yacht CLA2000 Deep Sea Class A AIS Transponder

Support Class A AIS requirements on a commercial or deep-sea vessel with the Digital Yacht CLA2000 Deep Sea AIS Transponder. Its SOLAS/IMO-oriented Class A SOTDMA design, selectable 12.5W or 1W transmission, dedicated DSC receiver, pilot plug, and high-speed NMEA connections make it suited to professional bridge installations. Need a commercial AIS unit that can connect to ECDIS or a dedicated display? The CLA2000 provides GNSS input, multiple NMEA interfaces, and protected rack or bulkhead mounting for qualified maritime installations.

Integration

The CLA2000 requires a properly designed Class A AIS installation, including suitable VHF AIS antenna arrangements, GNSS antenna placement, vessel static-data programming, MMSI assignment, bridge display/ECDIS integration, and applicable flag-state approval. It is not a VHF voice radio, radar, EPIRB, or substitute for required bridge watchkeeping.

Class A AIS requirements vary by vessel type, tonnage, operating area, flag state, and applicable U.S. or international regulations. Confirm the exact certification status, software approval, installation manual, and required equipment before purchase. AIS information depends on VHF reception and other vessels transmitting accurate data; it should be used alongside radar, charts, visual lookout, and safe navigation procedures.

Before Ordering

Confirm Class A regulatory and certification requirements, MMSI/licensing status, VHF/AIS antenna design, GNSS antenna location, bridge/ECDIS compatibility, NMEA and pilot-plug needs, 12V/24V power, protected mounting space, and professional commissioning support before ordering.
