VHF Ray 90 Black box su AIS 700 siųstuvu ir imtuvu (įskaitant laidinį kombinuotą pultą, pasyvų garsiakalbį ir kabelį)

The Raymarine VHF Ray 90 Black box pack with AIS 700 Tx and Rx includes the main "black box" unit, a wired handset, a passive speaker, and the necessary cables. It also includes the external GNSS (GPS) antenna GA200 with a 10-metre cable.

The Raymarine Ray 90 Black box VHF system is a centralized marine communication and safety solution. It integrates a powerful VHF transceiver for radio communication and a Class B AIS 700 transponder for transmitting and receiving AIS data, thereby enhancing situational awareness and safety at sea.

A "black box" VHF system is designed for discreet integration. The main unit is installed away from the bridge, typically in a less visible location, freeing up space on the console. Only the handsets and speakers are visible and accessible at the control station, unlike a standard VHF where the main unit is mounted directly on the console.

The integrated AIS 700 system is a Class B AIS transponder, meaning it is both a transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx). It can receive data from other AIS-equipped vessels and transmit your vessel's position and data, increasing your visibility to others.

A Class B AIS transponder provides several safety benefits at sea:

Increased visibility: Your vessel transmits its position, heading, and speed to other AIS-equipped vessels, reducing collision risks.Situational awareness: You receive data from surrounding vessels, allowing you to display their positions on your multifunction display and better anticipate situations.Vessel identification: You can identify vessels by name or MMSI number.

Yes, the included external GNSS (GPS) antenna GA200 is compatible with GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and Galileo satellite systems. This ensures precise and reliable positioning reception.

The main unit of the Ray 90 Black box VHF must be installed away from the helm station. Its "black box" design allows it to be mounted in a discreet location, freeing up space on the console for other instruments.

The system requires two types of antennas to operate fully:

A VHF antenna for radio communication and AIS. An external GNSS (GPS) antenna for positioning, such as the GA200 model provided.

The GNSS GA200 antenna must be mounted in a location with a direct and clear line of sight to the entire sky, around the horizon. It can be mounted on a flat horizontal surface or on a mast with a 1 inch 14 TPI thread. It is important to keep it at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from other antennas and electronic equipment, and not to mount it in the direct path of a radar beam or in an engine room.

The GNSS GA200 antenna comes with a 10-meter captive cable. This cable can be extended by up to an additional 10 meters, for a maximum total length of 20 meters. For the extension, it is imperative to use an RG58-Type 50-ohm coaxial cable and reliable connectors providing waterproof protection.

Configuring the MMSI number is a critical and mandatory step before the system's first use. It is performed via a PC and the ProAIS2 software, which can be downloaded from Raymarine's website. In the United States, the MMSI number must be programmed by a certified dealer or installer.

The system requires a 50Ω broadband VHF antenna operating in the 156 to 162 MHz frequency range. It must have a maximum gain of 3 dBi and a maximum VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) of 2:1 for optimal performance.

For optimal EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) performance, it is recommended to:

Place Raymarine equipment and cables at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from any equipment transmitting radio signals (VHF, antennas). For HF radios, this distance must be increased to 2 meters (6.6 feet).Keep equipment more than 2 meters (6.6 feet) away from the path of a radar beam.Power the product from a separate battery from the one used for engine starting.Use the cables specified by Raymarine and avoid cutting or extending them unless detailed in the installation manual.

The Ray 90 Black box system with AIS 700 is compatible with a wide range of Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD), including the Axiom 2, Axiom, gS, eS, aSeries, eSeries, and cSeries series. It is also compatible with i70/i70s instruments.

Yes, the Ray 90 Black Box system provides extended connectivity. It is compatible with NMEA 2000 networks (via SeaTalkng®) and NMEA 0183, enabling seamless integration with multifunction displays and other marine equipment.

The GA200 is an external GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) antenna only. It is not a complete receiver. It must be connected to an MFD, an AIS device, or a compatible VHF radio with an internal GNSS receiver to function.

To register ownership of your Raymarine product, you must visit the official Raymarine website (www.raymarine.com) and register online. Registering your product is important to fully benefit from warranty coverage. The packaging of your unit includes a barcode label displaying the unit’s serial number, which you will need to provide during registration.

Yes, Raymarine recommends an installation certified by a Raymarine-approved installer. A certified installation enables improved warranty benefits for the product. You can contact your Raymarine dealer for further details.

Yes, the Ray 90 Black box system with AIS 700 supports a silent mode. A connection for a silent mode switch is available, allowing you to enable or disable AIS transmission as needed.
