Your Vesper Marine Cortex H1 (tethered) and H1P
(portable) VHF Handset and AIS display.
Cortex handsets connect with the Cortex M1 hub
and together they work as an AIS Class B SO-TDMA
Transponder and Class D VHF Radio with DSC.
The handset is the voice and calling interface used
for VHF and DSC calls. The handset’s touchscreen
display is the primary interface together with dedicated
buttons and the Click-Wheel for swift navigation, ease
of operation and single-handed use.
The touchscreen is purpose-built for the harsh marine
environment and is designed and manufactured for use
in wet conditions and with gloves.
The handset provides a screen to set up and manage
the Cortex M1 hub, view AIS target data and vessel
instrumentation, manage and monitor alarms and
configure the remote vessel monitoring.
The H1 version has a spiral tether connected to the
vessel's 12V or 24V power (DC) via a bulkhead plug
and socket. The H1P includes a robust surface mount
cradle to secure the handset in a fixed location and
identify it as a VHF radio.
The H1P is designed for freedom of movement on
board. The H1P has a battery inside and is held and
recharged via the H1P charging cradle that is wired to
12V or 24V power (DC).
