AIS Class B Transceiver
12
unit, taking into account the shock loads likely to be encountered when
the vessel is under way in heavy seas.
Remove the backing paper and stick the cutting template onto
your console or panel where the unit is to be mounted.
Drill a 2.5mm hole in each corner, where shown, to fasten the
unit.
Drill 8 x 6mm holes where shown to assist in cutting the case
peripheral hole.
Carefully cut the hole where shown on the template.
Remove the template.
Assemble case gasket to the rear of the AI50 unit.
Place the AI50 unit in the cut-out and fasten with 4 self tapping
screws into 2.5mm holes.
Carefully remove 4 corners, (3 left and 3 right supplied, ), from
the moulding rosette.
(Note: they are numbered 1 and 2 on rear)
Place the 4 snap fit, removable corner covers into place. (No.1
is placed in the bottom left and top right position, No. 2 is
placed in the top left and bottom right position.
2.3 Bracket Mounting
Using the supplied bracket as a template, hold it against the surface it is
going to be mounted on. With a marker pen, make a mark through the
centre of the holes and drill a 3.5mm pilot hole on each mark. Secure to
the surface with the supplied self tapping screws.
2.4 GPS Antenna
The antenna, ideally needs to be mounted as low as possible with a clear view
of the sky to minimise errors due to movement over and above the transitory
movement of the vessel. It can either be deck mounted, or mounted onto a rail.
Use only the cable supplied with the antenna to connect it to the AI50.
Note DO NOT connect your antenna using further extension cables as this may
degrade the reception to a point where it may not function correctly.
To minimize interference, place the antenna in a position away from steel
constructions, wires, metal masts, sources of electrical interference, such
as radar etc. If installing the GPS antenna close to other antennas, mount
it either above or below their radiation beams.
