  • Page 5: General Information

    1 GENERAL INFORMATION The STANDARD HORIZON MATRIX Series GX2200E Marine VHF/FM Marine transceiver is designed to be used in International, USA, and Cana- dian Marine bands. The GX2200E can be operated from 11 to 16 VDC and has a switchable RF output power of 1 watt or 25 watts. The GX2200E integrates a dual channel AIS (Automatic Identification System) receiver to display AIS vessel information (MMSI, Call Sign, Ship Name, BRG, DST, SOG and COG) directly on the VHF radio, so you will know what is out there in any conditions. The GX2200E is also capable of entering and saving up to 100 waypoints, which may be selected and navi- gated to by using a unique navigation compass display. The GX2200E allows...

  • Page 7: Getting Started

    4 GETTING STARTED 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 essen- tially “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.
  • Page 8: Coaxial Cable

    COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction. For runs less than 6 m, RG-58/U (about 6 mm in diameter) is a good choice. For runs over 6 m but less than 15 m, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 15 m RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below. To get your coax cable through a fitting and into your boat’s interior, you may have to cut off the end plug and reattach it later. You can do this if you follow the directions that come with the connector. Be sure to make good soldered connections. EMERGENCY (CHANNEL 16) Channel 16 is known as the Hail and Distress Channel. An emergency may be 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 proce- dure: 1. Press the microphone push-to-talk switch and say “Mayday, Mayday, ” (your vessel’s name).
  • Page 9: Calling Another Vessel (Channel 16 Or 9)

    7. Estimate the present seaworthiness and condition of your vessel. 8. Give your vessel’s description: length, design (power or sail), color and other distinguishing marks. The total transmission should not exceed 1 minute. 9. End the message by saying “OVER”. Release the microphone button and listen. 10. If there is no answer, repeat the above procedure. If there is still no response, try another channel.
  • Page 10: Bridge Channels 13 And 67

    release the PTT button on the mic. Then switch to the new channel. When the new channel is not busy, call the other vessel. After a transmission, say “over,” and release the microphone’s push-to-talk (PTT) switch. When all communication with the other vessel is completed, end the last transmission by stating your Call Sign and the word “out.” Note that it is not necessary to state your Call Sign with each transmission, only at the beginning and end of the contact. Remember to return to Channel 16 when not using another channel. Some radios automatically monitor Channel 16 even when set to other channels or when scanning. BRIDGE CHANNELS 13 AND 67 Channel 13 is used at docks, bridges and by vessels maneuvering in port. Messages on this channel must concern navigation only, such as meeting and passing in restricted waters.
  • Page 11: Installation

    5 INSTALLATION SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Please read this manual carefully to become familiar with the features of this transceiver before using it for the first time. The installation of this equipment should be made in such a manner as to respect the EC recommended electromagnetic field exposure limits (1999/519/EC).
  • Page 12: Location

    LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that: • is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet • provides accessibility to the front panel controls • allows connection to a power source and an antenna • has nearby space for installation of a microphone hanger • is at least 1 m away from the radio’s antenna • the signal from the GPS satellite can receive sufficiently. Note: To insure the radio does not affect the compass or radios performance is not affected by the antenna location, temporarily connect the radio in the desired location and: a. Examine the compass to see if the radio causes any deviation b. Connect the antenna and key the radio. Check to ensure the radio is operating correctly by requesting a radio check. MOUNTING THE RADIO 5.3.1 Supplied Mounting Bracket The supplied mounting bracket allows overhead or desktop mounting. Use a 5.2 mm bit to drill the holes to a surface which is more 10 mm thick and can support more than 1.5 kg and secure the bracket with the supplied screws, spring washers, flat washers, and nuts.
  • Page 13: Optional Mmb-84 Flush Mount Bracket

    5.3.2 Optional MMB-84 Flush Mount Bracket 1. Use the supplied 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 17 cm deep). There should be at least 1.3 cm between the transceiver’s heatsink and any wiring, cables or structures. 2. Cut out the rectangular hole and insert the transceiver. 3. Fasten the brackets to the sides of the transceiver with the lock washer screw combination; so that the mounting screw base faces the mounting surface (see illustration below).
  • Page 14: Electrical Connections

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CAUTION Reverse polarity battery connections will damage the radio! Connect the power cord and antenna to the radio. Antenna and Power Supply connections are as follows: 1. Mount the antenna at least 1 m away from the radio. At the rear of the radio, connect the antenna cable. The antenna cable must have a PL259 connector attached. RG-8/U coaxial cable must be used if the antenna is 7.6 m or more from the radio. RG58 cable can be used for distances less than 7.6 m.

    6 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS NOTE This section defines each control of the transceiver. See illustra- tion at the next page for location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter 8 of this manual. FRONT PANEL CH Knob (Channel Selection) Rotary knob is used to select channels and to choose menu items (such as the DSC menu, General Setup and DSC Setup menu). The keys on the microphone can also be used to select channels and menu items. Secondary use  Press this knob to enter a selection in the setup menu or DSC menu.  While holding the soft key and turning this knob, you can confirm memory channels that have been programmed for scanning.
  • Page 29: Channels

    Secondary use When in PA or Fog mode, controls the listen-back volume. SQL Knob ( Squelch Control ) Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does. This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions. Soft Keys The 3 programmable soft keys can be customized by the Setup Menu mode described in section “9.10 SOFT KEYS”. When one of the soft keys is pressed briefly, the functions will appear above each key on the display.

    16 CMP30 ( RAM3 ) REMOTE MIC OPERATION When a remote microphone is connected to the GX2200E, all VHF, DSC, setup menus, AIS, Waypoint, Compass functions and PA/Fog modes can be remotely operated. The CMP30’s operation is same as GX2200E except the receiver audio volume setting and squelch level setting. The reason for the same operation is to make the operation of the radio and CMP30 mic easy. For specific operation of the CMP30 mic review sections in the radio manual. The CMP30 is supplied with 7 m of routing cable and can be extended up to 21 m using three 7 m extension cables model CT-100. The Intercom feature can be used between the CMP30 and the GX2200E.
