SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS
An AIS receiver or transponder requires
a VHF antenna, but Digital Yacht’s SPL1500 AIS-VHF antenna splitter allows an
existing antenna to be used for both the AIS and VHF (DSC). Unlike most simple
splitters, it can also be used with a class B transponder system and it
incorporates special circuitry to ensure safe operation of the two transmitting
devices.
The unit has three simple connections - one input for the
main VHF antenna and then outputs for the AIS receiver/transponder and another
for the DSC VHF. It utilizes Digital Yacht’s ZeroLoss™ technology, to ensure the
very best possible reception and transmission from all devices. Most importantly
it is also fail safe, so should the unit ever stop working or lose power, it
will not affect the main VHF operation. Until now, Digital Yacht, have
recommended a dedicated antenna for a receiver or transponder. However, with
the new this new ZeroLoss™ technology, we can now offer a solution that greatly
simplifies installation whilst maintaining performance.
The unit is waterproof and matches the aesthetics of the
current AIT1500, so can easily be integrated into any vessel. It is suitable for
operation on 12V or 24V systems and features three status LEDs that show the
unit is powered correctly and when the AIS or VHF transmits.
