  • Page 7: Introduction

    Introduction The Raymarine NMEA Multiplexer combines data from up to four NMEA-0183 devices to provide a single, multiplexed NMEA output. Inputs & outputs The NMEA Multiplexer has: • Four NMEA inputs (listener-ports), NMEA In 1, 2, 3 & 4. • One NMEA output (talker-port), NMEA Out •...
  • Page 8: Nmea Inputs

    NMEA inputs Each NMEA in (listener) port is a differential pair across terminals a and b, and can receive NMEA data from one device. The speed of each listener port is fixed at 4800 baud. NMEA data on listener ports 1 and 2 is multiplexed in real time (i.e.
  • Page 9: Installation

    Installation Mounting As the NMEA Multiplexer is not waterproof, it must be fitted in a location where it will not come into contact with water. Secure the NMEA Multiplexer to a suitable surface, as shown in the following illustration. Place the NMEA Multiplexer at Drill two 1/8"(3.4 mm) pilot...

  • Page 12: Power Supply

    Ground Shld Power supply The NMEA Multiplexer operates from a dc supply voltage in the range 8 V to 30 V and provides protection against reversed polarity. It is recommended to connect the NMEA Multiplexer to the same power source or circuit breaker as the ships instruments and/or computer.
