This product must be connected to protective ground via the
ground connection point. It is essential that the ground
connection point is used in all installations, regardless of what
other equipment is connected. The ground connection point
must be bonded to protective ground using as short a
connection as possible.
3.6 Connection to an NMEA2000 network (optional)
The AIS transceiver can be connected to an NMEA2000 network by a suitable
NMEA2000 network cable available from your local dealer. If your vessel has
an NMEA2000 network please refer to the relevant documentation for your
NMEA2000 equipment. Once connected, and with your chart plotter also
connected you will be able to receive AIS targets on your chart plotter. A list of
supported PGNs is provided at the rear of this document.
3.7 USB Connection
An optional USB cable is available for connection to a PC or Mac. The USB
connector can be connected directly to the USB port on the PC or Mac via the
optional USB cable. To enable connection of the AIS transceiver to a PC the
USB drivers, supplied on the product CD, must first be installed. Driver
installation is typically not required for use with a Mac.
To install the drivers please follow the steps below:
1. Insert the CD into the PC and navigate to the USB drivers folder.
2. Double click on the setup.exe file to launch the installer.
3. Follow the on screen installation instructions to complete installation.
