Accessory Cables and NMEA 0183 Cables
The image and table below show the wires of the
GX6500E/GX6000E
and the
connections to optional devices such as a external GPS antenna, GPS chart
plotter and an AIS receiver or transponder.
CAUTION
Care must be taken not to touch any of the NMEA wires to positive 12
VDC or the radio may be damaged.
When connecting the GPS navigation receiver, strip off about 1 inch (2.5 cm)
of the specified wire’s insulation, then splice the ends together.
The
GX6500E/GX6000E
uses NMEA 0183 protocol to share coordinates, DSC
and AIS information to and from a GPS chart plotter. The
GX6500E/GX6000E
transfers AIS information to a GPS chart plotter at 38400 baud (sometimes
called HS). GPS and DSC information is transferred between a GPS chart
plotter with multiple ports (minimum 2) at 4800 baud (default setting).
To connect to a GPS chart plotter which has one NMEA port, the
GX6500E/
GX6000E
may be setup to receive GPS coordinates, send DSC and AIS signals
at 38400 baud. Refer to section “
18.9 NMEA 0183 IN/OUT
” for details.
