Using an AIS antenna splitter
The em-trak B100 can be used with an AIS antenna splitter in order to share a single VHF antenna
with a VHF radio.
To ensure best performance and reliability em-trak strongly recommends that only the em-trak
S100 antenna splitter is used with the B100.
Third party antenna splitters can adversely aect the radio performance of the system and may
result in permanent damage to connected equipment.
Please ask your retailer or installer for further details on the em-trak S100 antenna splitter.
The USB port built into this product is not isolated from the vessel power supply, VHF antenna
ground or GPS ground. Please observe the following procedures when connecting the USB port to
avoid grounding problems.
If the computer is permanently installed on the vessel and / or electrically
connected to any other vessel equipment, including power supplies, it is recommended that
connection is made using the NMEA0183 or NMEA 2000 interfaces. These benet from being
specically designed for use in the marine environment and provide isolated and robust
communication between your devices.
If a battery powered laptop is being used then it is recommended that you always switch o the
computer before connecting the USB cable.
La connection USB de ce produit n’est pas isolée du réseau électrique de votre vaisseau, ni de la
masse de l’antenne VHF, ni de la masse de l’antenne GPS.

Si votre PC/MAC est installé en permanence sur votre vaisseau et/ou il est connecté aux autres
équipements installés à bord (sources de courant inclus), il est recommandé que la connexion soit
établie par les interfaces NMEA0183 ou NMEA2000.
Ces connexions sont spéciquement désignées pour une l’utilisation dans un environment marin
et ells assurent une communication isolé et robuste entre vos appareils.
Si vous utilisez un PC portable alimenté à sa propre pile, il est important d’assurer votre PC soit
éteint qu’avant de connecter / déconnecter le cable USB.
