NAVTEX System User Guide

You may want the NAV6 to remain operating even when the rest
of your instruments are turned off. To allow for this the display
unit should be connected to a ‘keep alive’ or ‘direct to battery’
power source
Remember the display unit has no power switch of its own and will
remain on whenever power is applied. So to allow the system to be
turned off when leaving the boat, or for system isolation for service a
1.5A circuit breaker or a 1.5A fuse and switch should be installed in the
power supply feed cable.
Note. Vessels that require hull isolation may need to install a DC to
DC converter. 24V vessels should install a 24V / 12V DC to DC
converter. If in doubt ask your dealer.

Connect the BLUE and BLACK twisted pair from the Display Unit to
the NMEA data source (GPS)
•
Connect the BLUE core to the NMEA A signal.
•
Connect the BLACK core to the NMEA B signal.
(Trouble shooting: Note that NMEA signal terminology can vary between
manufacturers – try swapping the BLUE and BLACK wires if the NMEA
input does not work initially – no damage will be done)

You call still receive NAVTEX messages even without a GPS being
connected, however if you do connect a GPS to the NAV6
plus
it will:

Synchronise its internal clock with UTC time
•
Automatically filter the message display to show only messages
from NAVTEX stations that are within recommended range
•
Display a wide variety of NMEA data in a selection of formats
The NAV6

is compatible with most GPS receivers or sources of
NMEA 0183 data that include a GPS. It may be necessary to set-up the
NMEA data source to provide all the required NMEA sentences. Refer to
