SPL160 AIS Splitter - Installation Guide
The SPL160 AIS/VHF Antenna Splitter is used to share a single VHF
antenna for both VHF radio and an AIS receiver or transceiver. It can
also supply a feed for your AM/FM radio.
Items needed to install:
•
12-24V DC power. Always install a 1A fuse or circuit breaker.
•
Four 3mm (#4) screws for mounting.
•
Two standard 50 Ω VHF patch cables (PL259) of adequate length to reach from
your selected installation location to your VHF radio and AIS receiver or trans-
ceiver.
•
An optional BNC-to-Motorola Plug cable is available for connecting to most
AM/FM radios.
Select a suitable location:
•
Often this is near an existing VHF radio since the antenna cable is located there.
•
The unit is waterproof to protect it against the marine environment, however it is
recommended to install it in a reasonably dry location.
