the card, and you can forget about it until you need the data.
Did you accidentally erase your track from the plotter? Are you writing about a storm
that you were caught in? Do you rent out your yacht? There are many instances where
only a Recorder can help you get all the details right.
The Recorder is designed for operating in an NMEA 2000 network and is compatible
with a wide range of equipment supporting this protocol. Raymarine SeaTalk NG,
Simrad SimNet and Furuno CAN networks are branded versions of NMEA 2000 and
differ only in the type of connectors. In its devices, Garmin uses the NMEA 2000 Micro
connector that is compatible with the DeviceNet Micro connector. Our Recorders
are supplied with different types of connectors, making it possible to connect them
to networks of different manufacturers without any adapters. The Device model
is shown on the case.
The model YDVR-03R has a connector similar to
Raymarine SeaTalk NG Female.
The model YDVR-03N has a connector similar to NMEA 2000 Micro Male,
DeviceNet Micro Male and Garmin NMEA 2000 Male (see Appendix E).
To connect to other types of NMEA 2000 networks, a cable adapter is required
(it is not supplied with the Device and must be purchased separately).
Note that Recorder is not compatible with the NMEA 0183 protocol.
We thank you for purchasing our Devices and wish you happy voyages!
