Installation
Installing the display
The
AIS
WatchMate
is supplied with a trunnion mounting bracket if
you wish to mount it above or below a shelf or other support. You
may also mount the unit by cutting a hole in an instrument panel and
mounting it flush. Included is a template you can use to cut the hole
and drill four additional holes for the required fasteners. A gasket is
also included to seal the unit against your instrument panel.
Do not disassemble the unit or remove the screws which hold it
together.
The unit is sealed and disassembly will void the warranty.
If you require service or assistance please contact your dealer or
Vesper Marine.
Items Needed
Two 4mm screws for mounting the bracket to a support surface
or four 3mm machine screws for flush mounting in a panel.
Configuration
The
AIS
WatchMate
may be configured in several ways. There are two
serial ports for data input and output. You can route AIS or GPS data
into either input port and take output for a chart plotter or computer
from either port. However, the speed of each output port must be the
same as the input speed for that port. To configure the ports use the
“I/O port settings” within setup mode.
Routing GPS Data Through the AIS Receiver or Using a
Transponder with a Built-in GPS
This configuration requires the AIS receiver to be able to accept GPS
