Appendix III lists all the NMEA sentences supported by the
NAV6 plus
If you connect a networked instrument system (with GPS) you may need
an NMEA adapter box to convert a proprietary serial data protocol ( such
as Raymarine’s Seatalk ) to the standard NMEA format used by the
NAV6
plus . Refer to the instrument systems user guide for details.
We do not guarantee compatibility with all GPS receivers or all
instrument systems. However, this can normally be achieved for most
systems by a skilled installer. For notes on achieving compatibility with
various systems, see Appendix V. Frequently Asked Questions. Note
that this section is regularly updated on our web site:

If you are uncertain of your abilities in this area, you are strongly advised
to seek the services of a qualified marine electronics installer.

System Grounding
Normally it is not necessary to install a grounding connection. Where
local electrical interference is thought to be limiting receiver
performance, it can sometimes be of benefit to ground the screen of the
cable that connects the Sensor Unit to the Display Unit.
Connect the silver (screen) of the interconnecting cables at the display
terminal block to a low noise electrical ground. This can either be a
specially installed ground plate, or the keel bolts on a non-encapsulated
keel, or bonded hull skin fitting. Use a minimum cable size of at least
1.5mm². If electrical isolation is to be maintained then this should be
done via a 0.1uF 50V capacitor.
If in doubt consult your dealer.
