If you're having difficulty displaying AIS data on your chart plotter, please follow the instructions below.
- Some old Chart plotters do not support AIS so you'll need to confirm compatibility by checking the manual for reference to AIS and/or VDMs.
- Check the receiving port can be configured to 38400 baud on the chart plotter.
- Make sure it's connected correctly by simply connecting the NMEA 0183 Transmit wires on the B900 Series (Brown is TX+, Blue is TX-) to the corresponding NMEA 0183 Receive wires on your compatible Chart plotter device. You'll need to connect the positive wires together and the negative wires together. For example:
- TX+ to RX+
- TX- to RX -
The user manual details the wires and their functions, but for your reference please see the table below explaining the connections on the B200.
