1 GENERAL INFORMATION The GX1300 ECLIPSE is a marine VHF transceiver designed for use in the frequency range of 156.025 to 163.275 MHz. The GX1300 can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts. The GX1300 is capable of DSC (Digital Selective Calling) Class D (independent Channel 70 receiver) operation which allows continuous receiving of Digital Selective Calling functions on channel 70 even if the radio is receiving a call.
2 PACKING LIST When the package containing the transceiver is first opened, please check for the following contents: GX1300 Transceiver Mounting Bracket, two Mounting Knobs, and hardware Power Cord with 6 Amp fuse and holder DSC Sticker Flush Mount Template Owner’s Manual 3 OPTIONS MMB-84 . .........................................................................Flush-Mount Bracket MLS-310 . ..............................................................
5 GETTING STARTED 5.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter.
5.2.1 Coaxial Cable VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by its diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet (6 m), RG-58/U (about 0.25" (6 mm) in diameter), is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet (6 m) but less than 50 feet (15 m), the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used. For cable runs over 50 feet (15 m) RG-8X should be used.
5.3 EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16 USE) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency is defined as a threat to life or property. In such instances, be sure the transceiver is on and set to CHANNEL 16. Then use the following procedure: 1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday. This is , , ” (your vessel’s name). 2. Then repeat once: “Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name). 3.
not exceed 30 seconds but may be repeated 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Prior to making contact with another vessel, refer to the channel charts in this manual, and select an appropriate channel for communications after initial contact. For example, Channels 68 and 69 are some of the channels available to non-commercial (recreational) boaters. Monitor your desired channel in advance to make sure you will not be interrupting other traffic, and then go back to either channel 16 or 9 for your initial contact.
6 INSTALLATION 6.1 LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle.
6.2.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket 1. To assist in flush mounting, a template has been included. Use this template to assess the mounting location. 2. Use the template to mark the location where the rectangular hole is to be cut. Confirm the space behind the dash or panel is deep enough to accommodate the transceiver (at least 5.5" (14 cm) deep). There should be at least 0.5" (1.3 cm) between the transceiver’s heat sink and any wiring, cables or structures. 3.
6.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity connections will damage the radio! Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as follows (see Figure 1): 1. Mount the antenna at least 3.28 feet (1 m) away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. 2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20 % power source. Connect the black power wire to a negative ground. 3.
Fuse Replacement To take out the fuse from the fuse holder, hold both ends of the fuse holder and pull the fuse holder apart, do not bend the fuse holder. When you replace the fuse, please confirm that the fuse is tightly fixed on the metal contact located inside the fuse Holder. If the metal contact holding the fuse is loose, the fuse holder may heat up.
6.4 ACCESSORY CABLE When connecting the external speaker or GPS navigation receiver, strip off about 1" (2.5 cm) of the specified wire’s insulation, then splice the ends together using proper waterproofing techniques.
6.5 CHECKING GPS CONNECTIONS After connections have been made between the GX1300 and the GPS, a small satellite icon will appear on the top right corner of the display, and displays your current location (Latitude/Longitude) on the display. 16 BUSY 25W USA 23˚56.890N 123˚56.890W MEM A C P 09:56 AM LOC NOTE • If there is a problem with the NMEA input from a GPS, the satellite icon will blink continuously until the connection is corrected.
