1 GENERAL INFORMATION The Phantom PS2000 is a revolutionary Commercial Grade remote control ITU-R Class D Marine VHF transceiver. The design allows the transceiver to be mounted in a protected area on vessels that may not have space to mount a full size VHF. The Phantom PS2000 is capable of using up to 2 enhanced full function RAM+ type microphones or VH-310 Handsets which are supplied seperately.
4 SAFETY / WARNING INFORMATION This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum separation distance of 0.6 m (2 feet). Failure to observe these restrictions will result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits. Antenna Installation: The antenna must be located at least 0.
5 FCC RADIO LICENSE INFORMATION STANDARD HORIZON Marine Divison of Vertex Standard radios comply with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) requirements that regulate the Maritime Radio Service. STATION LICENSE An FCC ship station license is no longer required for any vessel traveling in U.S. waters (except Hawaii) which is under 20 meters in length.
6 FCC NOTICE NOTICE Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment may void compliance with FCC Rules. Any change or modification must be approved in writing by STANDARD HORIZON Marine Division of Vertex Standard. NOTICE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
7 GETTING STARTED 7.1 ABOUT VHF RADIO The radio frequencies used in the VHF marine band lie between 156 and 158 MHz with some shore stations available between 161 and 163 MHz. The marine VHF band provides communications over distances that are essentially “line of sight” (VHF signals do not travel well through objects such as buildings, hills or trees). Actual transmission range depends much more on antenna type, gain and height than on the power output of the transmitter.
7.3 COAXIAL CABLE VHF antennas are connected to the transceiver by means of a coaxial cable – a shielded transmission line. Coaxial cable is specified by it’s diameter and construction. For runs less than 20 feet, RG-58/U, about 1/4 inch in diameter is a good choice. For runs over 20 feet but less than 50 feet, the larger RG-8X or RG-213/U should be used for cable runs over 50 feet RG-8X should be used. For installation of the connector onto the coaxial cable refer to the figure below.
8 INSTALLATION 8.1 LOCATION The radio can be mounted at any angle. Choose a mounting location that: • is far enough from any compass to avoid any deviation in compass reading due to the speaker magnet • allows connection to a power source and an antenna • It is recommended not to mount the antenna closer than three feet from the Phantom PS2000.
2. Connect the red power wire to a 13.8 VDC ±20% power source. Connect the black power wire to a negative ground. 3. If an optional remote extension speaker is to be used, refer to next section for connections. 4. It is advisable to have a Certified Marine Technician check the power output and the standing wave ratio of the antenna after installation. 8.3 MICROPHONE INSTALLATION NOTE The Phantom PS2000 is capable of connecting 2 RAM+ microphones (or VH-310 Handset) to control all functions. 1.

11 DIGITAL SELECTIVE CALLING 11.1 GENERAL WARNING This radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress and safety call to facilitate search and rescue. To be effective as a safety device, this equipment must be used only within communication range of a shorebased VHF marine channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The range of signal may vary but under normal conditions should be approximately 20 nautical miles. NOTE A DSC Warning sticker is included with the Phantom PS2000.
11.2 MARITIME MOBILE SERVICE IDENTITY (MMSI) 11.2.1 What is an MMSI? An MMSI is a nine digit number used on Marine Transceivers capable of using Digital Selective Calling (DSC). This number is used like a telephone number to selectively call other vessels. THIS NUMBER MUST BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE RADIO TO OPERATE THE PHANTOM PS2000 DSC FUCTIONS.
