Connection to a PC or Mac
If you choose to use a PC or Mac with suitable charting software to display received AIS messages as other vessels, this can be
accomplished by connecting the USB connector on the supplied power and data cable.
3.2 Installation procedures
Before beginning installation of your AIS transceiver, please ensure you have the necessary additional items as detailed in section 3.1.
It is strongly recommended that you read all of the instructions in this manual prior to installation.
If after reading this manual you are unsure about any element of the installation process please contact your dealer for advice.
The following sections explain the installation process step by step for each of the main elements of the system.
Step 1 - Installing the Anti-Tamper Plate
Prior to mounting the AIS Transceiver, the anti-tamper plate should be installed. This is fixed in the location that you wish to install the
transceiver and is secured with the self-tapping anti-tamper screws provided. See Figure 5 for details. The AIS Transceiver is then
installed above this as detailed in Step 2. If the anti-tamper plate is not required, then this step can be skipped and the installation
started from Step 2.

Step 2 - Installing the AIS transceiver
Please note the following guidelines when selecting a location for your AIS transceiver:
• The AIS transceiver must be fitted in a location where it is at least 0.2m from a compass or any magnetic device.
• There should be adequate space around the AIS transceiver for routing of cables. See Figure 6 for details of the AIS transceiver
dimensions.
The anti-tamper feature will only operate if the plate is installed as shown above and the feature is switched on in the
product configuration as described in Section 4.5. If the feature is switched on and the anti-tamper plate is not
installed your product will not operate.
