Mount your
WatchMate
at least 0.65m
(2 ½ ft) from
any compass.
Test your
compass to
verify that
it operates
properly when
the WatchMate
is operating.
When flush mounting, use the supplied template to carefully cut the holes. Always
use the rubber gasket and install the screws from behind the panel.
CAUTION: Do not overtigten the flush mounting screws. Cut screws to the
length requiored for your panel thickness.
• A dedicated VHF antenna or Vesper Marine AIS/VHF Antenna Splitter
is required.
• Choose an omnidirectional VHF antenna designed for the marine band
(156-162MHz) and ensure it is well tuned at the AIS end of the band (VSWR 2:1
or less at 162MHz). Avoid small helical “rubber duck” style antennas.
• Mount the antenna as high as possible (at least 2-3 metres (6-10 ft) above the
water surface). It is not recommended to place the VHF antenna near a mast
or other metal structures.
CAUTION: Install the antenna a minimum of 0.5m (2 ft) from any other VHF or
HF antennas and not within the beam path of a radar. Inadequate separation
may damage the device and void your warranty.
CAUTION: Never operate this device unless it is connected to a suitable VHF
antenna or Vesper Marine AIS/VHF Antenna Splitter. The use of any other
splitter may damage the device and void your warranty.
HINT: Use the WatchMate’s VSWR meter to check your antenna system
installation.
