Using an AIS antenna splitter
The em-trak B100 can be used with an AIS antenna splitter in order to share a single VHF antenna
with a VHF radio.
To ensure best performance and reliability em-trak strongly recommends that only the em-trak
S100 antenna splitter is used with the B100.
Third party antenna splitters can adversely aect the radio performance of the system and may
result in permanent damage to connected equipment.
Please ask your retailer or installer for further details on the em-trak S100 antenna splitter.
The USB port built into this product is not isolated from the vessel power supply, VHF antenna
ground or GPS ground. Please observe the following procedures when connecting the USB port to
avoid grounding problems.
If the computer is permanently installed on the vessel and / or electrically
connected to any other vessel equipment, including power supplies, it is recommended that
connection is made using the NMEA0183 or NMEA 2000 interfaces. These benet from being
specically designed for use in the marine environment and provide isolated and robust
communication between your devices.
