iAISTX Plus Class B Wireless & NMEA 2000 TransponderiAISTX Plus has been designed specifically for the growing number of boaters who use an iPad or Android tablet for their navigation tasks. As a full function Class B transponder, it sends your boat position and identity data to other AIS equipped vessels as well as providing a wireless interface for mobile devices with popular apps to display received data from other AIS equipped vessels.This PLUS model also has a NMEA 2000 interface (with integral drop cable) so that it can integrate with modern plotters, instruments and multi-function displays to provide AIS functionality.iAISTX Plus creates a secure, password protected, local Wi-Fi network which allows AIS and GPS data to be sent to popular iOS and Android apps such as Navionics, iSailor, Weather4D, SailGrib, iNavX, TimeZero and more. These apps offer a detailed overlay of local AIS targets all updated in real-time. Depending upon the app, you can click on a target and can see identity as well as collision avoidance data such as CPA (closest point of approach) and TCPA (time to closest point of approach).AIS transponders require one time programming with the boat’s identity and physical dimensions and this is done through a simple, embedded web interface via the tablet’s browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.).  This can also be used to silence the transmission and set up wireless parameters such as passwords.  Installation is simple – just connect power (12/24v), mount the supplied external GPS antenna and connect to a separate dedicated VHF antenna or to the boat’s existing VHF antenna using our SPL1500 or SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitters.Features: Class B AIS transponder with a wireless interface for phones, tablets, iPads and PCs NMEA 2000 interface for plotter and multi function display AIS compatability Support for all the latest target types such as ATONs and AIS MOB devices Latest HF AIS technology for superior performance UDP and TCP/IP protocols supported for up to 7 connected devices Password protected, secure wireless connection Internal wifi antenna will typically footprint a boat up to 60ft in length Supplied with external GPS antenna and 10m (33ft) cable which can be deck mounted or fitted to standard 1” mount Compatible with 100s apps.  See our reviews at www.digitalyacht.net LED status indicators for wireless connection, data, status, time out, power and silent mode Easy embedded web interface for programming Measures just 20 x 14 x 4.5cm 12/24V operation and ultra-low 2W consumption

A copy of the MMSI registration or FCC Ship Station License is required along with the vessel master or owner's signature on the completed programming form.**Click to download form."An easy to install Class B AIS transponder with plug 'n play NMEA 2000 interface. Built in GPS antenna and ideal for use on smaller yachts and boats like RIBs and center consoles."The AIT1500N2K is a Class B AIS transponder with built in GPS antenna to make installation as easy as possible. The super sensitive design allows below deck mounting on GRP boats such as small yachts, RIBs and center consoles and cuts down on antenna clutter. It connects to your boat's electronics via a plug 'n play NMEA 2000 connection and power is also taken from the NMEA 2000 backbone. Simply connect a VHF antenna (or use our SPL2000 AIS-VHF antenna splitter) and you're equipped with Class B AIS. Once installed, your AIS compatible plotter will show an overlay of targets and you'll transmit your position every 30 seconds when underway to other AIS users. There's also a USB interface for PC/MAC connectivity which can be used for programming the transponder with your boat details. The AIT1500N2K features a waterproof and tough enclosure with 4 LED indicators to show the status of the transponder. Features:  Shares the same latest generation AIS technology as our AIT2000 and AIT3000 units  Plug and Play NMEA2000 interface (takes power from network) Compatible with all AIS ready chart plotters Internal GPS antenna for easy installation on fibreglass (GRP) hulled boats Built-in high performance 50 channel GPS receiver (ideal also as a backup GPS) USB Interface for simple plug and play connection to a PC or Mac Requires VHF antenna or dedicated AIS antenna (available as optional accessory) or splitter (SPL2000) Supplied with programming software for PC/Mac and SmarterTrack Lite for Windows Easy to install black box solution NOTE - AIS target range, like VHF range is dependent upon a number of installation factors such as; antenna gain, antenna height and size of ground plane. Ranges in excess of 20 miles should be possible if all of these factors are perfect.This product may not be returned to the original point of purchase.
