3. Installation
The A015-RX is a plug and play device. No Configuration required.
IMPORTANT: Connect the VHF antenna BEFORE connecting any other devices!
Connecting powered devices to a Splitter before connecting the VHF antenna will damage your
devices.
1. Remove power source from all devices to be connected.
2. Connect the VHF antenna to the Splitter before adding any devices.
3. After the VHF antenna is connected, connect the VHF radio, AIS receiver and FM/AM radio to
the A015-RX Splitter.
4. Re-power all devices.
5. Test use checking status LEDs light up when expected.
4. Status LEDs
The A015-RX has three LEDs that indicate power and working status.
The VHF fail-safe means that the VHF radio has full priority and will remain functional, even in the
unlikely case that the Splitter would fail or lose power.
