All downloads, such as firmware, software and the manual can be found here under “Downloads”.
Unfortunately, repairs for easySPLIT devices are no longer possible.
A027 easySPLIT OCB
The easySPLIT OCB (OCB stand for “operates Class B) is checking whether there is a transmission power from the VHF radio or from the Class B AIS receiver to the Antenna. When this is the case the easySPLIT disconnects the other connected units very quickly (the AIS receiver and the car radio). If all the units are in reception mode, the units are all connected to the same antenna.
A quick disconnection is necessary because the Class B AIS Transceiver transmit their signal with a power of 2 W in a very short period of time. Therefore, the used splitter, the easySPLIT OCB, must disconnect the other units even faster than the Class B AIS transceiver is giving out its message. The easySPLIT OCB is disconnecting the other units in less than
1 ms!
What else do I need to use the easySPLIT OCB?
You do not need anything apart from your already existing units (e.g. VHF antenna) and of course a power supply.
What is suitable for the easySPLIT OCB?
All existing VHF radios, all existing AIS Class B transceiver and all existing FM radios can be connected to the easySPLIT. Nevertheless, the optimum of performance can be achieved if you use other units of the Weatherdock AG because these units are perfectly-matched.

A087 easyWATCHBOX

Documents
With the easyWATCHBOX you are informed about the most important dangerous exposures in pleasure boating within only one box:
- CPA alert for collusion potentials
- AIS S.A.R.T. alert for incoming emergency signals
- Battery low
To be single handed aboard don‘t gives you the time to watch out the chartplotter for danger potentials every minute. In these situations it is very useful to be informed automatically.
Function
The easyWATCHBOX will be integrated into the data stream between the AIS device and the chartplotter or PC/Laptop. Now the incoming AIS data are analyzed for special parameters. If one of these figures is triggered, for example AIS S.A.R.T. emergency signal, the unit starts alerting by visual and acoustic signals.
By means of two buttons it is possible to adjust the time and distance figures for the CPA alert.
The triggered alert could be muted by button. But only this special case. If another dangerous situation comes up, the alert will go on again.
This CPA alert function can be disarmed by pressing two buttons at the same time.
Another alerting function is battery low. By means of being plugged to the boats power supply, the voltage is checked
continously by the easyWATCHBOX.
If a certain voltage level is undershot, the unit starts alerting.
What is nessesary to run the easyWATCHBOX?
To use the easyWATCHBOX an AIS Receiver or Transceiver is the only request.
- Monitoring of the AIS data stream via NMEA0183 input
- Alerting device for AIS S.A.R.T. active (message 1 and 14)
- Alerting device for CPA figures
- Alerting device for battery low
- Acoustic (95dB) and visual alert (LED)

A118 easyPOSALERT

The easyPOSALERT is a portable position transmitter which uses VHF technology.
The device enables the persistent locating and monitoring of moving objects within range.
Function:
The easyPOSALERT has a built-in GPS receiver. After manual activation the device transmits the current GPS position by means of VHF signals in a preset time interval. This position report is sent on customized VHF frequencies, so a “closed user group” may be arranged. Each unit of the easyPOS-ALERT can be personalized individually. In case of an emergency there is an alert function which transmits on regular frequencies receivable by everyone within range.
The easyPOSALERT is floatable and waterproof to a depth of 10m. The rechargeable batteries have a lifespan of 5 days, depending on the pre-set transmission interval. The transmission range of the easyPOSALERT is from about 10nm (10m height of receiving antenna) up to 40nm (air craft at 1000 ft).
The easyPOSALERT is especially suitable for race boats, ferry boats, pilot vessels, jet-skis, smaller fishing boats and charter boats. Fact is: the easyPOSALERT is needed where persistent locating and monitoring of moving objects becomes necessary.
What is necessary to run the easyPOSALERT?
Each object going to be monitored and located needs an easyPOSALERT. The charging station provides intelligent and ideal charging, which ensures the long lifespan of the batteries. The object-related data is programmed into the device by the customers administrator or by the manufacturer. Only a VHF receiver, the easyAIS, is needed to receive the customized signals of the easyPSOALERT. It is factory pre-set to the custom frequencies. Normally the “closed user group” as well as all other objects are displayed on the chart plotter or PC screen.
The usage of an easyTRX2S-IS allows the management of different “closed user groups” on the same customized frequency

A056 easyCPA³

Documents
The CPA³-alarm is an additional accessory to bundle different functions and actions at a central point.
Functionality
The CPA³-alarm combines an acoustic signal generator for a triggered CPA-function and an incoming AIS S.A.R.T. emergency notification with a switch to change to the “silent mode” and an uncovered “PAN PAN”-switch.
This device receives impulses from the easyTRX2 and TRX2-IS, respectively once the set CPA-function has been triggered and turns them into acoustic signals. This also applies to the incoming AIS S.A.R.T emergency notifications. These two acoustic signals differ from one another in order to be able to allocate them more easily.
The “silent mode” switch turns off the transmit function of the connected easyTRX2 or easyTRX2-IS, with the result that no data about the vessel and its position is sent. This notification contains the message that you are having a problem and that you are asking for help. An AIS telegram type 14 is sent.
What is necessary to operate an easyCPA³-alarm?
It is required to have an easyTRX2 or an easyTRX2-IS in operation. Only with these two devices it is possible to set the incoming AIS signals in relation to the settings of the CPA-function and to initiate respective actions.
- Bottom plate: length 81 mm, width 31 mm
- Box: height 27 mm
- acoustic pressure of the signal generator: 105 decibel
- frequency: 2.9 kHz continuous tone
- operating temperature range: -20°C – +60°C
- operating voltage is analogous to the connected easyTRX2 or easy TRX2-IS
- protective cap for the “PAN PAN” switch prevents an accidental triggering
A052 easyCPA

The CPA-alarm is an external signal generator for the CPA (Closest Point of Approach)-function and for the acoustic notification of an incoming AIS S.A.R.T emergency telegram.
Functionality:
The easyCPA-alarm is designed as additional equipment to the AIS transmit-receivers easyTRX2 and easyTRX2-IS and it improves the safety on board.
With this external acoustic signal generator it is ensured that previously defined potential dangers are recognized through the CPA-function of the receiver and hence are signaled clearly.
AIS emergency telegrams that were sent by activated AIS S.A.R.T are recognised and signalized. Thus a temporarily delayed perception through sleep or turned off terminal devices is prevented.
The device receives impulses by the easyTRX2 and by the easyTRX2-IS, respectively as soon as the set CPA-function was triggered and turns them into acoustic signals. The easyCPA-alarm has two different acoustic signals, to be able to differentiate between CPA-warnings and AIS S.A.R.T.
What is necessary to operate an easyCPA-alarm?
You need an easyTRX2 or an easyTRX2-IS in operation. Only with these two devices is it possible to set the incoming AIS signals in relation to the settings of the CPA-function and to initiate respective actions

The ClassB unit easyTRX2S receives AIS ClassA and ClassB signals and transmits its own data according to ClassB standard.
All the easyTRX2S devices have a great variety of applications: You can connect it to a PC or laptop through a USB port. Using a software, you can choose the speed transmission between 38400 or 4800 Baud data rate. Function activity is shown by 8 LED’s. The easyTRX2S is able to interpret incoming AIS data for CPA alert or AIS S.A.R.T. emergency messages. Additionally, the easyTRX2S devices can be used as power source for external alerting devices. All received and transmitted AIS data can be stored in and internal SD Card recorder. With the build-in multiplexer input, 3 devices with different baud rate can be plugged to the easyTRX2S units. The external cable gives the possibility to choose between “silent mode” or “PAN PAN emergency call”.
To visualize data on your mobile device, Weatherdock offers a free App named “easyAIS”, which is available for download through the Apple store.
In case you are running a mobile device with lower screen resolution, we still recommend to use a suitable plotter with appropriate resolution for your safety.
Function:
The easyTRX2S-WiFi receives the incoming AIS data sent by commercial vessels (Class A) and pleasure boats (Class B). These telegrams are processed into a NMEA protocol which can be interpreted by chart plotters or PC software. With the wireless link to your mobile device, these data will promptly be received there as well.
The easyTRX2S-WiFi transmits according the AIS-Class B standard all own AIS data like ship name, speed and course over ground, etc. to every AIS receiver or transceiver within its radio range. Using the easyTRXS2-WiFi is the simplest way to make yourself visible to others, having all necessary information about your surrounding too.
Running the “easyAIS” App, you will see a radar screen appearing, showing all received AIS targets within range. A click on a target will provide you detailed information about this specific target, such as ship’s name, speed and course over ground, etc. Additional information about your own boat’s navigational status like your own speed, course, wind, etc. are available through sub-menus of the App, if you feed the easyTRX2S-WiFi built-in multiplexer with boat information.
fully compatible with popular AIS navigational Apps for iPad®, iPhone® or iPod®, e.g.
– iNavX (charged) A new license for mobile device is mandatory.

What is needed to run the easyTRX2S?
The ClassB device needs a separate GPS antenna and its own VHF antenna. As an alternative you can run the easyTRX2S with the VHF antenna switch easySPLIT-OCB to use your existing VHF antenna. A separate GPS antenna is still needed. Another alternative is the VHF/GPS combi antenna.
easyTRX2S and gadgets that work together
Your PC has to work at least on WIN XP SP2 and screen resolution 1024*768 for configuration. Plotter or PC software have to be AIS compatible to display incoming AIS data on the screen. A MMSI number is required to broadcast data – you will get it from German “Bundesnetzagentur” or the competent authority on your country. Your distributor will program this number on your easyTRX2S.
