Definition of Class IDefinition of Class I An aid to navigation on a
marine structure or other works, which the owner is legally obligated to establish, maintain and operate.
Aid still needs a Coast Guard permit.

PATON must be verified by the Coast Guard ANT.
PATON must be verified every year by July 1.

Definition of Class 2Definition of Class 2 An aid to navigation, exclusive of Class 1, which is located in waters used by general navigation.
Usually are lateral aids.
![Page 6: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aid is verified by the CG Auxiliary.
Aid is verified every three years.
Lateral aids may be designated for more frequent verifications.

Definition of Class 3Definition of Class 3 Aids to Navigation,
exclusive of Class 1, which are located in waters not ordinarily used by general navigation.
Often are regulatory buoys.
![Page 8: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Aid is verified by the CG Auxiliary.
Aid is verified every three years
Most Class 3 aids only need to be counted.

Model 601
Not approved for use by USCG.
2 NM range. Self-contained. May be used on
private aids. Small, lightweight,
easy to install,inexpensive.

Programming the light characteristic:
Lantern color determined by colored dot near serial number.
Any flash characteristic can be programmed using a Universal TV remote control.
Security code must be entered to prevent accidentally changing characteristic.
Follow instructions supplied with lantern.

Service Life of Lantern LED lanterns do not burn out. Light output degrades over time. Replace lanterns according to Duty
Cycle. 10-29% duty cycle replace every 12 yrs. 30-100% replace every 8 years. Replace battery every 4 years.
![Page 16: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Battery Box
There are single and double battery boxes.
A vent valve must be installed.
Box may be painted the color of the buoy.
![Page 17: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Battery Box
Not required for aids fitted with LED lanterns.
A vent valve must still be installed when the old battery box is still fitted on the aid.
![Page 18: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sound Systems
There are three main types of wave actuated sound signals:
WhistleBell
Gong
![Page 19: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Whistle Whistle is made
of cast bronze and is mounted inside the cage.
As air is forced through the whistle, the familiar drone sound is made.
![Page 20: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
BELLS Bells used on
lighted and unlighted buoys and are made of a copper-silicon alloy.
External tappers impact the fixed bell when wave motion causes the buoy to roll.

Check after storms.
Panels are designed to
break away so that high winds or
waves will not destroy the supporting
pile or structure.

Backing Material Delamination should not have
progressed over more than 25 percent of the backing material.
Material should not be sufficiently warped to visibly detract from the signal.
Mounting points should not be softened or deteriorated to the degree that the board may come loose during a storm.
Great photo opportunities.
![Page 36: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Films, Numbers, Letters, and Borders. Delamination of the film should not
progress over 10% of the surface area.
Material should not be cracked, checked or abraded so as to provide a dull or roughened top surface.
Attached material should not have peeled more than 10% of the surface area.
Good Photo opportunities

Fading. . . There is no practical way to measure
fading.
Replacement is based on the judgment of servicing personnel.
Aid must be able to display the intended signal until its next scheduled service date.

HOW to report non-permitted aids to the CG ANT
“NS-PN07 NON-PERMITTED PATON
FIELD REPORT” Important to identify the name of the aid’s owner.
The owner is solely responsible for submitting an PATON Permit application and for making all repairs and updates for a PATON-Private Aid to Navigation.
![Page 40: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A COPY OF THENS-PN07 NON-PERMITTED PATON
FIELD REPORTIS BEING HANDED OUT FOR THIS PART
OF THE PRESENTATION.
PLEASE FOLLOW ALONG WHILE REFERENCING THIS FORM.
![Page 41: First Northern Navigation Systems](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813a26550346895da20793/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
REPORT all non-permitted private aids to the Coast Guard through established Division channels.
ALSO REPORT all Private Aids to Navigation activity to AUXDATA as a Mission
31 on an 7030 Activity Report – Mission Individual form.
A non-permitted private aid report is considered a discrepancy.
