SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS
An AIS receiver or transponder requires a VHF antenna, but Digital Yachts SPL1500 AIS-VHF antenna splitter allows an existing antenna to be used for both the AIS and VHF (DSC). Unlike most simple splitters, it can also be used with a class B transponder system and it incorporates special circuitry to ensure safe operation of the two transmitting devices.
The unit has three simple connections - one input for the main VHF antenna and then outputs for the AIS receiver/transponder and another for the DSC VHF. It utilizes Digital Yachts ZeroLoss technology, to ensure the very best possible reception and transmission from all devices. Most importantly it is also fail safe, so should the unit ever stop working or lose power, it will not affect the main VHF operation. Until now, Digital Yacht, have recommended a dedicated antenna for a receiver or transponder. However, with the new this new ZeroLoss technology, we can now offer a solution that greatly simplifies installation whilst maintaining performance.
The unit is waterproof and matches the aesthetics of the current AIT1500, so can easily be integrated into any vessel. It is suitable for operation on 12V or 24V systems and features three status LEDs that show the unit is powered correctly and when the AIS or VHF transmits.
Features:
The Digital Yacht SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS is an essential device for marine vessels seeking to optimize their radio communication systems. Designed to allow a single VHF antenna to serve both standard VHF communications and AIS (Automatic Identification System) transponders, this splitter simplifies installation while maintaining high performance. Its compatibility with all Class B transponders and receivers makes it a versatile choice for various maritime applications. Crafted with durability in mind, the SPL1500 features a waterproof design that blends seamlessly with the vessel's aesthetics, matching the appearance of the AIT1500 for a cohesive look. It operates efficiently on 12V or 24V power supplies, ensuring reliable performance across different vessel electrical systems. The inclusion of three status LEDs offers clear operational indicators for power, AIS activity, and VHF transmission, enabling quick troubleshooting and system monitoring.
The SPL1500 incorporates Digital Yacht's innovative ZeroLoss technology, which guarantees exceptional reception and transmission quality by minimizing signal loss. Unlike conventional splitters, this unit is fail-safe; if power is lost or the device malfunctions, the main VHF system continues to operate unaffected, ensuring critical communication lines remain open. This feature is particularly valuable in safety-critical maritime environments. The device comes with all necessary cables—power, PL259-PL259, and BNC-BNC—each approximately 3 feet long, facilitating straightforward installation. Whether upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, the SPL1500 significantly reduces clutter by eliminating the need for multiple antennas, saving space and simplifying maintenance.
Compact and unobtrusive, the Digital Yacht SPL1500 Antenna Splitter VHF/AIS is an ideal solution for boat owners and marine professionals looking to enhance communication capabilities without sacrificing reliability or ease of installation. Its robust construction, combined with advanced circuitry and thoughtful design, makes it a dependable choice for modern navigation and safety systems aboard vessels of all sizes.
