Connecting to an NMEA 2000
®
Network
CAUTION
: Only two termination resistors are required on an NMEA 2000
network. More than two will degrade the bus performance.
Route the sensor cable to the NMEA 2000 network. Plug the NMEA 2000
connector into the network node (see Figure 5). Coil any excess cable and secure
with cable ties to prevent damage.
NOTE
: Sensor cables longer than 6m (20') have a termination resistor built into
the sensor connector (see Figure 6).
