Warning:
If using a VHF Antenna Splitter, you must use the
NSPL-500 as it is specifically designed to work with the NAIS-500
transceiver. The use of third party antenna splitters may result in
malfunction or permanent damage to the NAIS-500 transceiver.
Optional Silent Mode switch
A switch can be connected to the transceiver to enable and disable
‘silent mode’ (see Step 4 and 5 in Installation procedures, chapter 3).
A latching toggle switch is required to use this feature.
VHF antenna cable
Please check that the VHF antenna you intend to use has sufficient
cable to reach between the VHF antenna and the AIS transceiver
unit. If it is not sufficient, you will need an extension cable. Please
contact your dealer for details of suitable products. For reference,
the VHF antenna connector type on the AIS transceiver unit is
SO 239, and is intended to mate with a PL 259 connector. The re-
quired cable impedance is 50 ohms.
Power and data cable
The AIS transceiver unit is supplied with a 2-meter-long power and
data cable as an accessory. If you require longer cables to reach your
power supply, please ensure the cables are capable of carrying cur-
rents of up to 2A peak and 200mA on average. Please contact your
local qualified marine installer.
Chartplotters
To display received AIS messages from other vessels on your chart-
plotter, you will need to connect your AIS transceiver to your chart-
plotter. Please refer to the user manual supplied with your chartplot-
ter for details of how to connect and configure your chartplotter for
use with AIS devices. For general guidance, your chartplotter should
be configured to accept NMEA 0183 data at 38400 baud (sometimes
referred to as ‘NMEA HS’ in the plotter configuration menu).
Alternatively, if you use an NMEA 2000 network on your vessel, you
can connect the AIS transceiver to your NMEA 2000 network via the
supplied cable. Refer to your chartplotter manual for making NMEA
2000 connection. You may also need to enable the display of AIS
targets in the chart options.
