Transom Mount Intelliducer Installation Instructions
Step 3 (NMEA 0183): Connect the Intelliducer to Power and a NMEA
Connect the Intelliducer to Power and a NMEA
0183-compliant Device
The Transom Mount NMEA 0183 Intelliducer must be connected to power. Use the diagrams to
correctly wire the Intelliducer. In the diagrams, Tx = transmit, and Rx = receive.
You can connect up to three NMEA 0183-compliant devices to receive data from one
Intelliducer.

Transom Mount NMEA 0183 Intelliducer Wired to a NMEA 0183-compliant Device
Exceptions:
If your NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one receiving wire (Rx), connect it to
the gray wire (Tx A) from the Intelliducer, and leave the white/red wire (Tx B) from the
Intelliducer unconnected.
NOTE:
The orange (accessory on) wire is used when wiring the Intelliducer to a Garmin
chartplotter or other NMEA 0183 device that has a defined accessory signal wire. If you are wiring
the Intelliducer to a device that does not have an accessory signal wire, the orange wire from the
Intelliducer should be connected to ground.
CAuTION:
If you are wiring the Intelliducer to a device that does not have an accessory
signal wire, connect the Intelliducer power wire to the ignition or install an in-line switch. The
Intelliducer can drain the boat battery if it is not switched.
