Typical Application Circuits
Usage Notes
- The screws securing the HS-MX1206GT module have a diameter of 2.6mm.
- The HS-MX1206GT accepts 12V or 24V DC power input. After power-up,
- allow a one-second initialization period before the module begins normal operation.
- The UART1 provides standard 3.3V TTL serial data output with 38400bps
- baud rate.
- The UART2 is reserved and does not output data.
- The HS-MX1206GT operates normally without any configuration. It outputs raw AIS message data requiring system parsing.
- The HS-MX1206GT does not include positioning functionality. For positioning
- capabilities, a separate positioning module and algorithm must be added.
- The power supply noise must be less than 30mV. Excessive power supply noise will degrade the module’s reception performance.

FAQs
Does this module include a built-in GPS receiver?
No, the HS-MX1203GT module itself does not have a built-in GPS. It requires an external active GPS/BeiDou antenna connected via its MCX-female connector to obtain its own position, which is essential for transmitting AIS messages.
What is the default configuration, and how do I program it for my vessel?
The module ships with generic factory settings. You must configure it with your vessel's specific MMSI number, name, and call sign using our provided AIS CONFIGURATION PC software and a TTL-to-USB adapter cable. Once configured, these details are stored in the module.
Can I temporarily turn off the AIS transmission (Silent Mode)?
Yes. The module features a SILENT pin. By pulling this pin low (to GND), you can disable AIS transmission for privacy or in security-sensitive areas while continuing to receive AIS data from other vessels.
What kind of antenna should I use with this module?
You need two separate VHF antennas:
A dedicated GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou active antenna for the GPS port.
Using high-quality, properly installed antennas is critical for optimal performance.
A dedicated AIS VHF antenna for the VHF port.
