3.6 Connectivity
3.6.1 Connecting to an NMEA 2000 network
The transceiver can be connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network to
provide AIS and position data to other connected devices such as
chartplotters, instruments, sensors, etc.
Connection is made by a Micro-C drop cable to the existing NMEA 2000
network T-piece. This item is not supplied so you will need to purchase one
from your local dealer.
Figure 15 NMEA 2000 network connection
Starter kits are available to purchase if you do not already have an NMEA
2000 network.
The list of supported NMEA 2000 data (PGN’s) is detailed in Section 4.4
3.6.2 Connecting to your chartplotter
NMEA 0183 port 1 is recommended for connecting to a chartplotter,
operating at 38,400 baud by default. This can be changed using our
configuration tools if required. Four wires are provided for a bi-directional
connection, and are colour coded as shown in Figure 16.
Other manufacturers may use different signal names, however the following
general guidelines will apply:
● positive signals should be connected together
