The em-trak B200 is a high transmit power (5W) priority AIS Class B transceiver specifically designed for serious ocean sailors, offering enhanced safety through maximum range and transmission priority.

The high-powered, advanced AIS engine provides the reliability you can depend on and the very best AIS performance in its class. Completely water and weatherproof (IPx6 & IPx7 certified), and ruggedized to withstand shock and vibration, the B200 has been extensively tested in the most extreme marine environments and will provide years of maintenance-free operation. The dual NMEA2000 & 0183, coupled with serial ports, USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth also make connecting to all your tablets, PCs, display, and navigation devices easy and simple.

Peace of mind is further enhanced with an internal battery that ensures continuous operation for up to 120 hours in the event of total power loss. The B200 also supports silent mode, where transmissions are switched off, but receiving continues, and can be enabled through the integrated switch.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
