Connecting to an NMEA 2000
®
Network
CAUTION: Only two termination resistors are required on an NMEA 2000
network. More than two will degrade the bus performance.
IMPORTANT: When using a cable that is longer than 6m (20'), remove the
termination resistor at the last node/tee on the NMEA 2000 network. Insert the
male-to-male pin into socket 5 of the sensor connector to activate the termination
resistor located inside the sensor (see Figure 6). Note that using a termination
resistor inside a sensor deviates from the published NMEA 2000 installation
practices.
Route the sensor cable to the NMEA 2000 network. Plug the NMEA 2000
connector into the network node (see Figure 7). Coil any excess cable and secure
with cable ties to prevent damage.
