General notices
Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.5m or greater for 0.3° deviation.
RF emissions notice
The information provided in this section assumes the AIS antenna splitter is connected to an AIS Class B transceiver.
The warnings regarding RF emissions provided in the manual for the VHF radio being used with the AIS antenna splitter should also be
noted prior to installation of the AIS antenna splitter.
Caution: The AIS antenna splitter generates and radiates radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This equipment must be installed
and operated according to the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or the malfunction
of the AIS antenna splitter and/or the AIS transceiver it is connected to.
Caution: Never operate the AIS antenna splitter unless it is connected to a VHF antenna.
To maximise performance and minimise human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy you must make sure that the
antenna is mounted at least 1.5 meters away from the AIS antenna splitter and is connected to the AIS antenna splitter before power
is applied.
The system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1.5m. This has been determined assuming the maximum power of the
AIS transceiver and using antennas with a maximum gain of 3dBi.
When reading this manual please pay particular attention to warnings marked with the warning triangle shown on the
left. These are important messages for safety, installation and usage of the product.
