Despite our popular CLA1000 Class A transponder being predominately fitted to commercial ships by experienced electronic installers, an increasing number are being fitted to pleasure craft and are often installed by the boat’s owner or an installer who has never fitted a Class A transponder before.
Installation is pretty straight forward, but there are a number of steps and procedures to follow:-
- Mechanical Installation
- Power Connections
- GPS antenna installation
- VHF Antenna installation
- Interfacing*
- Configuration via the supplied configAIS program
*Many CLA1000 units are interfaced to our HSC100, USB to NMEA Adaptor cable, Pilot Plug or PilotLink units.
Things do not always go to plan and with this in mind, we have released a Fault Finding Guide to help users, new to Class A transponders, work out what is wrong. To download a copy of our AIS Class A Transponder Fault Finding Guide, click here.
