Quick Start Guide for AIT1500 V1.00
Please do not plug in the USB cable of the AIT1500 to your PC until after you have installed the proAIS2
software, which also installs the USB drivers for the AIT1500. Installing proAIS2 is covered in section 4 -
Configuration.
After the AIT1500 is configured, the USB connection can be used to provide data to navigation program running
on a PC or Mac. Please note that only one navigation program at a time can receive data from the AIT1500.
The AIT1500 USB interface is not fully isolated and high levels of static or large differences in ground voltages
between the PC supply and the boat
’s DC supply can damage the AIT1500’s USB interface. For maximum
reliability, if you intend to permanently connect the AIT1500 to a computer, we recommend using an NMEA to
USB adaptor connected to the AIT1500
’s NMEA0183 output which provides an extra level of protection/isolation
and can avoid costly damage to the AIT1500.
Installation Step 7
– Remote Switch
To connect a remote “Silent” switch that allows you to turn on/off the transmission of your own vessels position
(good etiquette when moored or in congested but safe conditions), you will need a conventional toggle type
switch (SPST), connected between the White and Blue wires.
This can be mounted anywhere on the boat, thus allowing you to mount the AIT1500 below deck but having a
switch in the cockpit or wheel house to control the Silent Mode operation.
When the remote “Silent” switch is ON (closed) the AIT1500 will be in Silent mode (not transmitting) and when the
switch is OFF (open) the AIT1500 will be in normal transmitting mode.
Installation Step 8
– Power Up
Turn on the 12V or 24v power to the AIT1500
Verify that the green LED illuminates for a short period and then all four LED indicators on the front of the unit
flash once, followed by illumination of the amber and red LED’s.
Installation is now complete. The AIT1500 needs to be configured using the proAIS2 software
– see next section.
