When the gauges are to remain in-circuit, the EMU-1 has to be powered from the same supply that is powering the gauges for the engine that it is monitoring. The best way to do this is to wire directly from the back of the positive and GND terminal on the back of the gauge closest to the EMU-1. If the EMU-1 is used to replace the gauges, it will automatically take over...

When the engine information you were expecting from the EMU-1 isn't available on your Multi-Function Display (MFD), we recommend checking the configuration settings of your MFD to ensure it has been setup correctly to receive data from the EMU-1. The process for this will be different from each manufacturer to the next, so please check with the manufacturer...

If you want to use the NGW-1 with NMEA 0183 waypoint names, they have to be purely numeric – e.g. a valid waypoint name is “73”, an invalid name is “waypoint 73” in order for the NGW-1 to correctly convert it to NMEA 2000. This is because NMEA 2000 waypoint names can only be numeric (at their lowest level). Converting NMEA 2000 waypoint names to NMEA 0183...

This is unfortunately not possible. Doing so would create a data loop which will quickly use up the narrow bandwidth available to NMEA 0183 devices and prevent vital data from being transmitted...

"Why do I need an NGW-1?" Due to the incompatibilities between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, an Actisense NGW-1 is needed to bi-directionally convert data between the two standards.

Unfortunately it is not possible in any NMEA 0183 networking situation to connect the output of more than one Talker to the input of one or more Listener/s. To convert data from more than one NMEA 0183 Talker to NMEA 2000 you have two choices...

The primary function of the NGW-1’s NMEA 0183 LED is to indicate reception of a valid NMEA 0183 sentence...

There is a diagram on page 6 of the NGW-1 User Manual that illustrates the connections from the NGW-1 to an NMEA 0183 device. The same diagram can be seen below...
