AIS
RECEIVER
.
Please read these instructions carefully before
installation and operation.
•
R
NEVER
apply AC power to the [DC 12 V] connector on
the rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the re-
ceiver.
•
R
NEVER
connect the receiver to a power source of more
than 16 V DC such as a 24 V battery. This will damage the
receiver.
•
R
NEVER
connect the receiver to a power source using
reverse polarity. This will damage the receiver.
•
R
NEVER
cut the DC power cable between the DC plug
and fuse holder. If an incorrect connection is made after
cutting, the receiver may be damaged.
•
R
NEVER
expose the receiver to rain, snow or any liquids.
The receiver may be damaged.
•
R
NEVER
touch the receiver with wet hands. This may re-
sult in an electric shock or damage the receiver.
•
R
NEVER
apply more than 25 W RF power or out of
VHF marine frequency (156.000 to 161.450 MHz) to the
[RADIO] connector on the rear panel. This will damage the
receiver.
•
DO NOT
use or place the receiver in areas with tempera-
tures below –20°C (–4°F)
or above +60°C (+140°F) or in
areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard.

ANTENNA CONNECTORS
m
[ANTENNA]
Connects to a VHF marine antenna with a PL-259
connector.
m
[RADIO]
Connects to a VHF marine transceiver with a PL-259
connector.
• VHF marine transceiver: Output power 25 W nominal and
transmit frequency range from 156.000 MHz to 161.450
MHz.
When a VHF marine transceiver is connected with an
antenna through the MXA-5000, its receive sensitivity
will be reduced (Insertion loss: approx. 3 dB). This is
normal, and does not indicate the receive’s malfunction.
e
DC POWER CONNECTOR [12V DC]
Connects the supplied DC power cable from this con-
nector to an external 12 V DC power source.
r
MULTI CONNECTOR
m
[PC DATA OUT]
Connects to a PC.
m
[DATA IN]
Connects to a GPS receiver.
m
[DATA OUT]
Connects to a navigation equipment.

m
Dualwatch operation
Two independent receivers can simultaneously receive
CH87B (161.975 MHz) and CH88B (162.025 MHz).
m
Power divider bult-in
A power divider is built-in the MXA-5000.
This provides
easy installation as well, since no extra antenna is
necessary— just connect the receiver between your VHF
marine transceiver and an antenna.
• The internal power divider protects the receiver from a transmit
signal of the VHF marine transceiver.
m
GPS receiver is connectable
When a GPS receiver is connected, the GPS information
is added to the received AIS information, and can be sent
to the connected PC or navigation system.
