Quick Start Guide for AIT1500 V1.00
Installation Step 2
– Locating and Fixing the unit
The AIT1500 has a high sensitivity GPS receiver with an
internal antenna which is designed to be used below deck
in GRP Fibreglass hulled boats. The GPS antenna is
located in the top left corner of the unit behind the Digital
Yacht Logo.
The AIT1500 unit must be mounted on a vertical bulkhead
so that the GPS antenna (top edge of AIT1500) is pointing
towards the sky. Care should be taken to ensure that only
GRP fibreglass is between the GPS antenna and the sky,
with no metallic or electrical objects above the antenna.
Location of the AIT1500 is critical for good GPS reception
and it is strongly recommended that before fixing the
AIT1500 in the chosen location, that the GPS reception is
checked.
The supplied proAIS2 software for PC/Mac is ideal for this
purpose. With the unit powered up (from the boat
’s 12/24v
DC supply) and connected via the USB cable to a PC/Mac
running the proAIS2 software, view the
“GNSS Status”
page and ensure there is good GPS reception with the
AIT1500 in this location.
Unit Dimensions
Once you are confident that the AIT1500 is in the best location for good GPS reception, secure the AIS
Transponder to a flat vertical surface in the selected location, using four M4 wood screws or other fixings suited to
the material the unit is being fixed to.
Installation Step 3 - Power
Provide power connections to the unit. Power is connected to the twelve core PWR/DATA cable on the Red and
Black wires. The Red wire is the positive (+) connection. The Black wire is the negative (-) connection.
Connect the stripped wires to the nearest source of primary 12V or 24V DC power. Ensure that the supply is
connected via an inline 1A fuse or suitable circuit breaker. Add the fuse in the positive power connection to the
unit if necessary.
The AIT1500 Class B Transponder is designed for a 12V or 24v DC systems.
