AIS transceiver
If you have an existing AIS transceiver connected directly to a VHF
antenna, you can disconnect the AIS transceiver from the VHF
antenna and connect them both to the relevant connectors on the
NSPL-400.
It is necessary to connect the VHF antenna, VHF radio and AIS trans-
ceiver for the antenna splitter to function correctly.
FM radio
The NSPL-400 also provides connections for the antenna of an FM
broadcast radio receiver. Connection of an FM radio is optional.
Power cable
The NSPL-400 is supplied with a two meter long power cable. If you
require longer cables to reach your power supply please ensure the
cables are capable of carrying currents of up to 200mA on average.
Means of connecting the cables together will also be required. The
use of ScotchlokTM connectors is recommended for this purpose.

Before beginning installation of your NSPL-400, please ensure you
