Page 4: General
CB2 Manual GENERAL 1.1 Exposure to RF Electromagnetic Energy This product complies with EN62311:2008 (EU) and RSS-102 (Canada). This product has been evaluated for compliance with the FCC RF exposure limits given in CFR 47 part 1.307(b) at a distance greater than 2” (25cm) from the antenna. 1.2 Warnings This product is designed to assist navigation and should not be used in the place of ap- propriate navigational judgement. -
Page 5: Cb2 Overview
The fully compliant CB2 is a Class B type AIS Transponder from ACR Electronics. Your ves- sel information such as position, speed, and course is ascertained automatically and con- tinuously using an internal multi-GNSS receiver and transmitted to all other AIS equipped vessels at a maximum rate of every two seconds. -

Page 7: Installation
CB2 Manual INSTALLATION 2.1 Mounting 2.1.1 Transceiver mounting Determine the mounting location for the CB2 ensuring that there are suitable access routes for all the required cables and attach securely to a flat surface using the four fixing screws provided. The unit should be easily accessible to allow for disconnection from the power source. - Page 8 CB2 Manual 2.1.2 GPS (GNNS) Antenna Mounting The GPS Antenna should be installed with a clear and unobstructed view of the sky, it should NOT be positioned or mounted on a mast that can cause the antenna to swing and potentially reduce the accuracy of the GPS position and it should NOT be positioned in the direct path of a radar transmitter.

CB2 Manual 2.2 Connections Item Connector VHF (SO239) Power/Data GPS Antenna (TNC) NMEA2000 LED Indicator Button USB (Micro-B) To avoid damage to the cables, ensure at least 50mm (2.0 inches) is available below the Transceiver to allow the cables to turn. 912S-02858-01.12... - Page 10 CB2 Manual 2.2.1 RF Connectors The VHF antenna should be connected to the SO239 socket. If the vessel is equipped with a single VHF antenna that is required to be shared between the CB2 and a VHF Radio Transceiver it is necessary to use an active antenna splitter. Attempting to connect two transmitting devies to a single antenna without a splitter will cause severe damage to either or both devices.
