Icom MA510TR Class B AIS

The Icom MA510TR Class B AIS Transponder is a maritime safety device engineered for vessels operating in coastal and offshore environments where collision avoidance and emergency response capabilities are mission-critical. Built for commercial shipping, fishing fleets, and law enforcement maritime operations, this Class B automatic identification system integrates collision alarm functionality with man-overboard detection—features that have become standard in professional water operations. The MA510TR 13 combines proven Icom reliability with digital situational awareness, enabling crews to monitor vessel traffic in real time while maintaining compliance with international maritime safety regulations.

This transponder operates on VHF frequencies with dual-channel capability, broadcasting vessel position, course, and speed to nearby maritime traffic and shore-based monitoring stations. The collision alarm function actively tracks approaching targets and alerts operators when another vessel enters a preset danger zone—critical for reducing accidents in congested waterways. Anchor watch and man-overboard alarms ensure crews remain protected during stationary operations or emergency situations, while USB connectivity enables seamless integration with contemporary navigation systems and software suites. The multi-language interface accommodates diverse crew compositions, and individual DSC (Digital Selective Calling) compatibility with compatible Icom VHF radios via accessory cable extends command-and-control capabilities across your vessel's communications network.

Law enforcement marine units, coast guard operations, and commercial maritime businesses rely on Class B AIS transponders to maintain real-time traffic awareness and respond rapidly to emergencies. The MA510TR 13's compact 5.4 lb footprint makes it suitable for mid-size and larger vessels where space and weight budgets remain constrained. Installation pairs directly with existing VHF radio systems; consult your vessel's electrical specifications and Icom documentation to confirm 12/24 VDC compatibility and antenna routing requirements. This transponder represents an industry-standard choice for operators who demand proven performance and interoperability across mixed-fleet maritime environments.
