Position source
All marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) transceivers utilise
a satellite based location system such as the Global Positioning
Satellite (GPS) network.
The accuracy of a GPS position fix is variable and is affected by
factors such as the antenna positioning, how many satellites are
used to determine a position and how long satellite information has
been received for.
Compass safe distance
The compass safe distance of this unit is 0.5m or greater for 0.3°
deviation.
RF emissions notice
Caution: The Mariner X2 generates and radiates radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This equipment must be installed and
operated according to the instructions contained in this manual.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and / or Mariner X2
malfunction.
Caution: Never operate the Mariner X2 unless it is connected to a
VHF antenna.
To maximise performance and minimise human exposure to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy you must make sure that the
antenna is mounted at least 1.5 meters away from the Mariner X2
and is connected to the Mariner X2 before power is applied. The
system has a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of
1.5m. This has been determined assuming the maximum power of
the Mariner X2 and using antennas with a maximum gain of
3dBi.The antenna should be mounted 3.5m above the deck in order
to meet RF exposure requirements. Higher gain antennas will
require a greater MPE radius.Do not operate the unit when anyone
is within the MPE radius of the antenna (unless they are shielded
from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier).
The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other transmitting antenna.
The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
