The Marine's Essential: AISLink CA2 Class A AIS Transponder

Discover the AISLink CA2 AIS Transponder - a masterfully designed and fully compliant Class A transceiver that is a proud addition to the esteemed maritime safety equipment collection from ACR Electronics. This compact marvel not only ensures efficient exchange of dynamic and static ship data with other AIS systems but also presents this information in an intuitive manner via its vivid 7” full-color LCD. Whether you're a fan of the coastline map view, radar view or just a standard target list, this device has got you covered. Primarily used as a navigation aid for collision-avoidance, it carries the signature trust and reliability associated with ACR products.

For users who like being in control, the CA2’s message-sending functionality is a breeze, allowing you to send and receive safety related messages effortlessly. It seamlessly calculates dynamic data such as location, speed over ground and course over ground with its integrated 99-channel GPS receiver. All the while, static and voyage related data is a cinch to program through its user-friendly menu interface. If minimalistic design and easy installation are your things, this transponder won't disappoint. To top it all off, it's equipped with multiple connectivity options including WiFi, USB port, serial, and the ever-reliable Pilot plug.

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.
