2.7 AIS Silent Mode Connection
If you require Silent Mode feature, it is possible to connect an external toggle switch
to CAMINO-108. Connect the toggle switch between the pink and light green (and/or
light blue) wires to enable Silent Mode function, as depicted in Figure 4. An optional
external Tx Switch Box (part number SB-181) is available from AMEC to turn on/off
the AIS transmission.
2.8 Connection to NMEA 2000 Network
The CAMINO-108 is equipped with NMEA 2000 interface with LEN=1. CAMINO-108 is
able to send AIS data and forward received GPS data (from internal GPS antenna) via
NMEA 2000 network to other NMEA 2000 devices. For further applications, please
refer to supported PGN in 5.4. An updated PGN list is available at AMEC website
under FAQ for CAMINO-108.
A compatible T-connector and drop cable available by your local service partner are
needed to connect the class B transponder to your chart plotter with NMEA 2000
