Simrad HS90 Wired Handset & Speaker Kit, For RS90 VHF, IPX7, 5m Cable

Overview

The Simrad 000-11226-001 is an HS90 handset and RS90 external speaker kit for expanding a Simrad RS90 modular VHF system with another wired station. Both the handset and speaker are rated IPX7 (JIS-7), and the kit includes a 5 m (16.5 ft) handset cable for routing from the transceiver area to a helm, cockpit, or cabin station.

The HS90 handset gives full control of RS90 functions from that location, with a graphical display, an alphanumeric keypad, and shortcut keys for features like AIS plot, navigation, waypoints, and MOB. The external speaker boosts audio at the station, and its volume and on/off state are controlled from the paired handset.

This is a practical add-on when you want RS90 access at a second helm, near the companionway, or in the cockpit, without moving the primary station.

Compatibility and fit

This kit is for the Simrad RS90 modular VHF system and is intended to expand an existing RS90 installation. It is not used as a replacement for a fixed-mount VHF front panel, and it is not a universal remote for other VHF models.

If your boat is a 24 V vessel, plan the RS90 system supply accordingly since the RS90 system runs on 12 V DC. The handset station itself is powered through the RS90 system.

For space planning, the handset body is 69.0 x 200.5 x 50.0 mm (2.72 x 7.97 x 2.0 in) and mounts on a cradle, while the speaker needs room for either surface mounting or a flush cutout depending on your installation choice.

Installation and setup

The handset cable is meant to be routed cleanly through a bulkhead or dash using its connector assembly, so you can leave the transceiver wiring protected and keep the handset station tidy. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends, chafe points, and areas where it can sit in standing water.

The speaker can be placed where audio is most useful at that station, such as under a hardtop, near a helm console, or at a nav desk. Once connected, the handset can control RS90 radio functions at that location and participate in the onboard intercom and announcement features available within the RS90 system.

On-board use

On boats with more than one operating position, this kit helps keep VHF control where you actually stand watch. It also suits crews that want intercom between cockpit and cabin stations, with station audio that can be heard without everyone crowding around a single handset.

Maintenance and care

After saltwater runs, a light rinse and wipe-down helps keep the keypad, speaker grill, and cable connections clean. Periodically check the cradle mounting and cable pass-through points for loosening or chafe, especially on boats that see a lot of vibration.

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.
