Additional Information for optional ZDIGNMUP
Opto-Isolated four port NMEA multiplexer
The following information is only applicable for Aqua Pro PCs that have been fitted with the optional Opto-Isolated four
port NMEA multiplexer (Actisense NDC-04).
On the rear of Aqua Pro PCs, fitted with an NDC-04, will be a 10 wire multi-core cable that has four NMEA 0183 inputs
and one NMEA 0183 Output. The colour coding is shown below:

The NMEA Multiplexer is connected internally to the Aqua Pro PC motherboard and the latest drivers and been installed
and tested. The default settings are for all four ports to accept 4800 baud NMEA 0183 data and to automatically multiplex
this through to the Aqua Pro PC on COM Port 3 at 38,400 Baud. The same data will also appear on the NMEA OUT
–
purple and grey wires.
Also installed on the Aqua Pro PC is the NDC-04 Control Centre software which can be used to configure the ports and
control the way NMEA data is handled by the multiplexer. This software is very powerful and allows the NDC-04 to be
configured for many different types of installation. It is strongly recommended that you consult with the dealer that
supplied the Aqua Pro PC before changing any settings.
A PDF manual for the Actisense NDC-04 is included on the Aqua Pro PC and more information can be found at:-
