Connecting to an NMEA 2000 network
The transceiver can be connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network to provide AIS and position data to other connected devices such as chartplotters, instruments, sensors, etc.
Connection is made by a Micro-C drop cable to the existing NMEA 2000 network T-piece. This item is not supplied so you will need to purchase one from your local dealer.

| CAUTION | |
|
The transceiver will only operate on a 12V NMEA 2000 network. Connecting the transceiver to a 24 volt NMEA 2000 network may result in damage and will void the warranty. |
| INFORMATION | |
| The transceiver cannot be powered by the NMEA 2000 network, it will also require external power using the supplied power cable. |
Starter kits are available to purchase if you do not already have an NMEA 2000 network.
The list of supported NMEA 2000 data (PGN’s) is detailed in 1.
