Installation

This Eagle radio is designed to generate a digital maritime distress call to facilitate search and

rescue. To be eﬀective as a safety device, this radio must be used only within the geographic

range of a shore-based VHF marine Channel 70 distress and safety watch system. The

geographic range may vary but under normal conditions is approximately 20 nautical miles.

Installation Options

There are two ways to install the radio. You can choose:

•

a deck or overhead mounted gimbal installation. The reversible mounting gimbal is ﬁxed to

to a suitable site and the radio is placed into it. The radio can be removed for storage and

the viewing angle can be adjusted.

•

a recessed installation. The radio is recessed into a cavity cut into a bulkhead. The radio

ﬁxture is permanent and the viewing angle cannot be adjusted.

Location Requirements

Please check these BEFORE doing any cutting or drilling.

Whichever installation method you choose, ensure that the chosen location:

•

is at least 3' (1 m) from the antenna

allows easy connection to (at least) a 10 Amp fused 13.6 V DC electrical source and the

antenna

•

is at least 1.5' (45 cms) from the compass to avoid creating magnetic deviation of the

compass during radio operation

•

has a suitable space close by for installing the microphone bulkhead mount

provides easy access to the controls on the front panel

provides reasonable access to the wiring at the back of the radio

provides enough room to ﬁx the

DSC warning label

Side

The VHF has a large LCD screen

with an optimum viewing angle

of approx. +/-20 deg. Ensure

the chosen location provides

a suitable view of the display.

Ideally, the user should be directly

in front of the display or no more

than +/-20 deg from the front of

the display.

Gimbal Installation

1. Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the

screw hole positions onto the mounting surface.

2. If you can’t reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping

screws instead of the ﬂat screws shown in the picture. If you’re drilling into ﬁberglass, use

a drill bit smaller than 3/16”(5mm) to drill the pilot holes.

Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16”(5mm) drill bit. Drill

completely through the mounting surface.

3. Use a Philips screwdriver and the set of four ﬂat screws, spring washers, plain washers,

and nuts to attach the mounting gimbal to the location site.

4. Slide the radio into the mounting gimbal.

5. Insert the two mounting knobs through the holes and tighten them suﬃciently to hold

the radio at the desired viewing angle.

Change the Viewing Angle

The viewing angle on the gimbal mount has a 20º tilt range. To change the current viewing

angle on the gimbal mount:

1. Support the radio, then cautiously loosen the mounting knobs until the radio can be

moved.

2. Re-position the radio then tighten the mounting knobs again.

Recessed Installation

1. Tape the installation template onto the chosen location site.

2. Cut out the area marked by the solid dark line. (The dashed line indicates the total area that

will be ed by the radio fascia after installation.)

3. Remove the installation template and slide the radio into the cavity.

4. Working from the rear of the bulkhead, align the racheted outstand on each side of the

radio with the central hole in each mounting bracket.

5. Use the two short M5x10 screws to screw the mounting brackets to the sides of the

radio.

6. Screw each M5x32 screw through the screw hole in the mounting bracket, then attach

the stopper. If your bulkhead exceeds 0.51” (13mm), the stopper can be discarded if

necessary.

7. Tighten the M5x32 screws until the radio is held ﬁrmly against the rear of the bulkhead.

Install the Microphone Bulkhead Mount

1. Hold the microphone bulkhead mount at the

ꢀꢁꢂꢃꢄ ꢅꢆꢇꢁꢈ MM

chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark

the screw hole positions on the mounting

surface.

Ensure that the microphone curly cable will

comfortably reach this location BEFORE you drill.

2. Drill the two pilot screw holes where marked.

3. Use a short length Philips screwdriver and the

set of two ﬂat screws, spring washers, plain

washers, and nuts to secure the microphone

bulkhead mount at the location site.

4. Hang the microphone on its mount.

Fix the DSC label

CAUTION

A DSC warning label is supplied with the EVR-150. To comply with FCC regulations, this

warning label must be aﬃxed in a location that is clearly visible from the operating

controls of this Eagle radio. Make sure that the chosen location is clean and dry before

applying this label.

Connect the Radio Cables

The connectors are on the rear of the base unit, as follows:

1. GPS/COM connector. For connection to GPS device via NMEA. See the following table

for wiring and color codes. (If you’re not using this, be sure to put the protective cap

securely over the connector to protect it from moisture and dust.)

2. External Speaker connector. Plug the external speaker cable jack into the connector

BEFORE powering on the radio. Use a 4 Ohm 4 Watt external speaker.

3. RED Power wire. Connect this to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal. Check that a 10 Amp

fuse is installed on this power cable close to the battery.

4. BLACK Power wire. Connect this to the NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal.

5. ANT. A radio antenna is not supplied. A suitable radio antenna must be mounted

and connected before operating the EVR-150 radio. Consult your dealer for advice if

necessary.

6. GND. A ground connection is not usually required.

Section 5 - Sending and Receiving DSC Calls

WARNING

A valid USER MMSI must be entered into this radio before these DSC functions can be used.

See 4-2 Enter Your USER MMSI (USER MMSID).

5-1 WHAT IS DSC?

DSC (Digital Selective Calling) is a semi-automated method of establishing VHF, MF, and HF

radio calls. It has been designated as an international standard by the IMO (International

Maritime Organization) and is part of the GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety

System).

Currently, you are required to monitor Distress Channel 16, but DSC will eventually replace

listening watches on distress frequencies and will be used to broadcast routine and urgent

maritime safety information.

DSC enables you to send and receive calls from any vessel or coast station that is equipped

with DSC functionality, and within geographic range. Calls can be categorised as distress,

urgency, safety, or routine, and DSC selects a working channel automatically.

5-2 Sending DSC calls

1. Press CALL MENU to show the types of DSC call that can be

made.

Appendix B - Troubleshooting

1. The transceiver will not power up.

A fuse may have blown OR there is no voltage getting to the transceiver.

a) Check the power cable for cuts, breaks, or squashed sections.

b) After checking the wiring, replace the 7 Amp fuse (1 spare fuse is supplied).

c) Check the battery voltage. This must be greater than 10.5V.

2. The transceiver blows the fuse when the power is switched on.

The power wires may have been reversed.

a) Check that the red wire is connected to the positive battery terminal, and the black wire is

connected to the negative battery terminal.

3. The speaker makes popping or whining noises when the engine is running.

Electrical noise may be interfering with the transceiver.

a) Re-route the power cables away from the engine.

b) Add a noise suppressor to the power cable.

c) Use resistive spark plug wires and/or use an alternator whine ﬁlter.

4. No sound from the external speaker.

a) Check that the external speaker cable is physically connected.

b) Check the soldering of the external speaker cable.

5. Transmissions are always on low power, even when high (HI) power is selected.

The antenna may be faulty.

a) Test the transceiver with a diﬀerent antenna.

b) Have the antenna checked out.

6. Battery symbol is displayed.

The power supply is too low or too high.

a) Check the battery voltage. This should be at least 10.5V 0.5V DC.

b) Check the alternator on the vessel.

7. No position information is displayed.

The GPS cable may faulty or the GPS setting may be incorrect.

a) Check that the GPS cable is physically connected.

b) Check the polarity of the GPS cable.

c) Check the baud rate setting of the GPS if applicable. The baud rate setting should be 4800 and

parity should be set to NONE.

Procedure to remove the resistor and diode from NDC-4, 119-31, Adapter Cable:

You will notice near the end of the cable an adapter segment protected with black

heat-shrink.

To connect the EAGLE GPS unit to the EVR-150 radio, you must first remove the adapter

segment of the cable as shown in the following figures.

Remove the adapter segment at the end of your data cable as shown at left. Snip off the end

of the cable protected by the black heat-shrink. At right, we have used clear heat-shrink for

clarity, so you can see the diode and resistor protected within. Remove this portion of the

cable.

After you've removed the adapter segment, use wire pliers to expose the ends of the five

remaining wires in the cable. Cut off the black, blue and white wires, then seal their ends

with heatshrink.

Make the wire connections to the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable as follows:

•

Strip about 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) of insulation from the Yellow wire and connect to the

Yellow wire on the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable.

•

Connect the Bare Stranded Drain wire to the Green wire on the EVR-150 GPS/COM cable.

Appendix E - MMSI and License Information

You must obtain a user MMSI (Marine Mobile Service Identity) and enter it into your EVR-150

The user MMSI is a unique nine digit number, similar to a personal telephone number. It is

used on marine transceivers that are capable of using DSC (Digital Select Calling).

Depending upon your location, you may need a radio station license for the EVR-150. You

may also need an individual operator’s license.

Eagle recommends that you check the requirements of your national radio

communications authorities before operating DSC functions.
