Description

The high performance Class B AIS with built-in NMEA 2000 gateway and internal GPS, XB-6000 integrates AIS, GPS and NMEA information. System allow you to see your safety and navigation data on any AIS-capable chart plotter or MFD. Easily integrate AIS to your existing marine electronics and convert NMEA 2000 & 0183 instrument data to USB, facilitating 3rd party navigation software.

This package is designed for installing an XB-6000 AIS Transponder in a nav station or wheelhouse and allows you to share a single VHF antenna between your AIS transponder and VHF radio.

Features:

  • A NMEA 2000 Gateway- that translates NMEA 2000 instrument data (heading, wind, depth, speed, log, temperature) and routes it over USB and NMEA 0183
  • GPS-Includes a powerful built-in 5 Hz built-in GPS antenna and also includes a 50 channel, external WAAS/EGNOS GPS antenna
  • Features galvanically isolated (GI) ports that protect your transponder and marine equipment from high current damage
  • Fully Waterproof IPx7 rated
  • USB Connection (waterproof and locking with optional cable)-The USB connection can be used to connect the XB-6000 to on-board computers. The XB-6000 provides a GPS and AIS data feed directly to computer-based navigation software. It translates selected NMEA 2000 instrument data and sends that to your computer too. An optional 5 m (16') waterproof cable features a locking ring so it can't vibrate out of the back of the XB-6000
  • Self Diagnosis Status Lights- Multi-color LED keeps you informed of operational status providing self diagnosis that shows warnings if AIS, GPS, or antenna are not functioning
  • Ultra-low power consumption-Designed for minimal power consumption the WatchMate XB-6000 is extremely well suited for energy conscious vessels. The XB-6000 consumes less power than other AIS transponders even with the NMEA 2000 gateway operating
  • Positive Identification- Vessel names and call signs will be readily available
  • Silent Mode Control- With an optional external switch to control Silent mode, AIS Receivers and GPS continue normally, but transmissions are inhibited. Firmware updates-Designed to be compatible with continuous stream of feature updates, the XB6000 can be updated with your USB cord and your computer

VHF / AIS Antenna Splitter Specifications:

  • Applications: All AIS Transponders and Receivers
  • Function: Enables AIS to Share a Single Antenna with VHF and AM/FM Radio
  • Power: 12 - 24V DC, Includes Built-in Low Noise Amplifier
  • The Vesper Marine splitter is the only one that provides signal gain which improves AIS reception and increasing range. The built-in low noise amplifier is important in increasing the receive range from the increasing number of low power AIS SART and MOB devices
  • The splitter is used to simplify installations by allowing a shared VHF antenna
