Installation
Page 15
In addition to the items supplied, the following may also be required for your
installation:
● VHF antenna and cable - this is required for your transceiver to
receive and transmit. A variant with an integrated splitter (B923/
B924/B953/B954) can use an existing VHF antenna as long as it
covers 159MHz so it will be compatible with both VHF radio
(156MHz) and AIS (162MHz). VHF antenna installation is covered in
more detail in Section 3.2.1. If you need to extend the antenna cable
when connecting to your existing VHF antenna, RG-58 or RG-8X can
be used for short distances. For longer runs we would recommend a
low loss cable like RG-213.
● External GPS antenna - this may be required if your installation
location is deep inside your boat where the Integrated GPS receiver
and antenna will not be able to receive satellite signals. GPS antenna
installation is covered in more detail in Section 3.2.2.
● Power cable - this may be required to extend the length of the 2m
power and data cable that is supplied with your transceiver. If you
require longer cables to reach your power supply, please ensure they
are capable of carrying currents of up to 2.5A peak and 220mA on
average. Connecting the power supply is covered in more detail in
Section 3.3.1.
● Micro USB cable - this is required for connection to a PC or laptop.
USB drivers and the configuration process are covered in more detail
in Section 3.6.4.
● Toggle switch - this can be used to turn on/off silent mode. We would
recommend a latching toggle switch for this application. Installation of
the toggle switch is covered in more detail in Section 4.2. Silent mode
can also be controlled using the configuration tools, proAIS2 and
CONNECT-AIS.
