NGW-1 Normal LED Behaviour

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

The NMEA 2000 LEDs main function is to indicate reception of a PGN on the NGW-1 conversion list. 

It is normal for the NMEA 0183 LED to flash faster than the NMEA 2000 LED due to the smaller bandwidth available to NMEA 0183.

This video provides a good visual representation of the different LED behaviour that can be observed in the NGW-1.
