Other NMEA instruments
NMEA is an industry standard for
interconnecting instruments. The chart plotter
can be connected to other NMEA instruments.
Set up the optional NMEA instruments as
above pictures.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can receive and
display depth, paddlewheel boat speed and
water temperature from an optional
compatible instrument.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can receive
data from an optional compatible GPS or
GPS/DGPS source.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can send GPS
position and other navigation data to an
autopilot or other instrument. An autopilot
requires APB, APA and VTG sentences
For information on sending NMEA data to the
instrument, contact Plastimo.
During setup to send NMEA data to other
instruments, set NMEA out and specify the
NMEA data to send.
5-7 NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 interface standard was
introduced for communications network to
interconnect marine electronic equipments
such as navigation chart plotter, engine, tank
level sensor and others on vessels. The
standard is regulated by The National Marine
Electroincs Association in USA.
The AdvanSea chart plotter can be connected
to external devices with NMEA2000 and
display information such as followings.
• Engines have fuel flow sensors, therefore
fuel sensors are not required.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can receive and
display wind speed and direction from an
optional compatible wind instrument.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can receive and
display depth from an optional depth
instruments.
• The AdvanSea chart plotter can receive and
display boat speed and water temperature
from a paddlewheel sensor on a optional
speed instrument.
If connected display unit, use the cable
compatible with NMEA 2000 standard.
