INSTRUCTIONS AIS RECEIVER MXA-5000 Thank you for purchasing the MXA-5000 AIS RECEIVER. Please read these instructions carefully before installation and operation. PRECAUTIONS • R NEVER apply AC power to the [DC 12 V] connector on the rear panel. This could cause a fire or damage the receiver. • 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 result 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 temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) or above +60°C (+140°F) or in areas subject to direct sunlight, such as the dashboard. • DO NOT use chemical agents such as benzine or alcohol when cleaning, as they can damage the receiver's surfaces. • Place unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children. FEATURES 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.

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 connector 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.
