Introduction

THE VESPER MARINE CORTEX HUB IS AN AIS CLASS-B SO-TDMA

TRANSPONDER WITH INTEGRATED ON BOARD AND REMOTE VESSEL

MONITORING AND CONTROL.

When paired with a Vesper Marine Cortex H1 Tethered or Cortex H1P Portable

handset, the Cortex Hub becomes a fully-featured 25W VHF radio with complete

Class D DSC functionality.

The Cortex Hub features integrated WiFi providing conguration and control via a

Cortex Onboard App or Cortex Handset.

Cortex Hub uses two dedicated AIS channels to transmit and receive vessel

position and other data to and from all other AIS equipped vessels within range.

Cortex Hub uses received AIS data by sharing it with other devices on board your

vessel (e.g. chart plotters, laptops, phones) over NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 and WiFi.

With an integrated AIS/VHF splitter, the Cortex Hub allows an existing or secondary

VHF radio to share a single VHF Antenna.

The Cortex Hub also features an integrated GNSS receiver (supporting GPS,

GLONASS, BeiDou, Galilleo), fully isolated NMEA ports and a high-power external

speaker driver. Internal antennas for cellular and WiFi are included with the option

to attach external antennas as required.

Off-boat vessel monitoring and control is supported via a built-in cellular modem

and the Cortex Monitor App on your phone.

Integrated sensors provide vessel position, battery voltage, heading and barometric

pressure, while NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 provides information from sensors

connected to the NMEA network.

Optional external sensors can be installed and connected to the Cortex Hub to

monitor information such as bilge level, shore power and vessel security. Optional

output relays can be installed to remotely control lighting, air conditioning,

refrigeration, bilge pump, battery charging and more.

Append your Cortex Wi Label here

We suggest placing one of your Cortex Wi Labels here in the manual. It is also

helpful to have one stuck descretely near the Cortex Hub. Having the QR Code and

Wi details easily accessible makes pairing additional devices quick and simple.

5Onboard App Introduction

Onboard App Introduction

Cortex Onboard is a free Android and Apple iOS app that connects your phone or

tablet to the WiFi of the Cortex Hub.

Use the Cortex Onboard App to congure, manage and display data from Cortex.

The Conguration Menu is used for initial conguration, AIS programming, network

settings, rmware updates and input / output sensor setup.

Once the Cortex is congured, the Cortex Onboard App acts like a Cortex Handset

offering access to most functions directly from your smart device.

7LED indicator panel

LED indicator panel

The Cortex Hub features an indicator panel located on the top of the case. The LED

indicator panel provides system status using changes in color or solid and ashing

states to indicate how a subsystem if functioning.

GPS, VHF, WiFi, NMEA 2000, Cellular (Cloud) and Power are all indicated. Green will

indicate a functioning subsystem, with Orange and Red indicating a connection,

conguration or other issue that may need to be resolved.

Power ON is indicated with white light.

See LED indicator panel on page 22 for a full troubleshooting list.

Cortex Hub positioning8

Cortex Hub positioning

Allow at least 2”/ 50mm from each set of connectors give

sufcient room for cable clearance and connection.

Allow at least 8” / 200mm for the external WiFi antenna

to be positioned in a vertical position to increase WiFi range.

For optimal Heading Sensor performance, do not mount on

or near ferrous materials. For conguration, see Heading

Sensor on page 25

Ensure that the minimum safe compass distance is

maintained. Standard: 0.8 m, Steering: 0.4 m.

Cortex Hub mounting

1. Use the Cortex Hub as a template for mounting holes

2. Mark the holes on the mounting surface and drill them

3. Align the Cortex Hub to the mounting holes and secure with fastenings of

your choice (not included).

Recommended screws: 316 Stainless Self Tapping 8G/1” (4.2/25.4mm) or 10G/1”

(4.8/25.4mm) Pan/Round Head.

The Cortex Hub features metal anti-compression rings in each mounting hole to

prevent damage and ensure the Cortex Hub can be mounted securely.

9To connect power

To connect power

Cortex DC power requirements:

Hub Nominal Draw 0.5A @ 12V

Hub VHF High Power Transmit (Max) 6.0A @ 12V

Handset Nominal 1.0A @ 12V

To provide sufcient power, consider the total system requirements in terms of

adequate cable gauge and fuse rating with capacity for future expansion.

1. Check that the VHF antenna is connected before connecting to live DC power.

2. Connect the positive (+ve red) and negative (-ve black) leads of the power

cable to the vessel. The 2M (6.5ft) power cable (supplied) is terminated with a

2 pin socket. This cable may be extended or shortened as needed.

3. Connect a fuse or circuit breaker to the positive cable of the appropriate rating

for the system. (ie 10A for the Cortex Hub, 2A for each handset)

4. Connect the power cable to the Cortex Hub. Tighten the power cable lock ring

clockwise to ensure a secure connection and watertight seal.

5. Turn the vessel’s batteries (and/or switch or circuit breaker) on to apply power

to the Cortex Hub.

6. Conrm the Cortex Hub is powered on with a visual check on the Cortex Hub

indicator lights.

24 Hour Circuit

Leaving Cortex powered on a 24 hour circuit will ensure Cortex can continue to

monitor and alert you. A 24 hour circuit remains powered even when the normal DC

house system is powered off. Cortex Hub has a low Nominal draw of 0.5A @ 12V

which most vessel house systems can sustain for an extended period of time.

Wiring color codes

RED DC positive (+ve) (12/24 volts).

BLACK DC negative (-ve)

Always use a fuse or circuit breaker installed near the battery end or bus bar end.

Do not connect directly to a battery.

If you must extend the power connections use quality tinned marine grade wire at

least 16 AWG (1.5mm²).

AIS / VHF Antenna10

AIS / VHF Antenna

Required

The Cortex Hub shares one antenna for both AIS and VHF functions.

A dedicated VHF antenna is required.

Choose a high quality omni-directional VHF antenna designed for the marine band

(156-162MHz) and ensure it is well tuned at the AIS end of the band (VSWR 2:1 or

less at 162MHz).

See Part Number VA159 (AIS/VHF Antenna).

Mount the antenna vertically, as high as possible (at least 2-3 meters (6-10 ft)

above the waterline). It is not recommended to place the VHF antenna near a mast

or other metal structures

Install the antenna a minimum of 3m (10ft) from any other VHF or HF antennas and

not within the beam path of a radar. Inadequate separation may damage the Cortex

transponder and void your warranty.

Never operate the Cortex Hub unless it is connected directly to a suitable VHF

antenna.

The VHF indicator light will display red when a problem is detected with the antenna

system (ie, the VSWR is above the acceptable level).

What does VSWR mean?

VSWR stands for Voltage Standing Wave Ratio and is a measure of the how well

matched a transmission line (e.g. the antenna cable connected to the VHF output of

your the Cortex Hub) is to its termination impedance (e.g. your antenna).

VSWR can be thought of as a comparative measure of how much power, generated

from your Cortex Hub AIS transponder, is delivered to the antenna and how much of

it is reected back and lost in the poorly matched transmission line.

A high VSWR will reduce your effective transmission range and may also lead to
