Digital Yacht SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS

SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS

An AISreceiver or transponder requires a VHF antenna, but Digital Yacht’s SPL1500AIS-VHF antenna splitter allows an existing antenna to be used for both the AISand VHF (DSC). Unlike most simple splitters, it can also be used with a class Btransponder system and it incorporates special circuitry to ensure safeoperation of the two transmitting devices.

The unithas three simple connections
- one input for the main VHF antenna and thenoutputs for the AIS receiver/transponder and another for the DSC VHF. Itutilizes Digital Yacht’s ZeroLoss™ technology, to ensure the verybest possible reception and transmission from all devices. Most importantly itis also fail safe, so should the unit ever stop working or lose power, it willnot affect the main VHF operation. Until now, Digital Yacht, have recommended adedicated antenna for a receiver or transponder.  However, with the newthis new ZeroLoss™ technology, we can now offer a solution that greatlysimplifies installation whilst maintaining performance.

The unit iswaterproof and matches the aesthetics of the current AIT1500, so can easily beintegrated into any vessel. It is suitable for operation on 12V or 24V systemsand features three status LEDs that show the unit is powered correctly and whenthe AIS or VHF transmits.
