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 •...
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.
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...
NMEA in Connect an unused pair of NMEA In a and b terminals on the NMEA Multiplexer to the NMEA output port of each device from which you wish to receive NMEA data. The manner in which the connections are made depends on whether the device has a...

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.
• 7/0.2 multi-strand wire, i.e. 7 strands, each of 0.2 mm diame- CAUTION: Electrical Safety Before connecting power to the NMEA Multiplexer, turn off the power supply. Connect either a 24 V or 12 V power supply, via a 0.5 A fuse, as...
NMEA Multiplexer only passes complete and valid sentences. You may be able to resolve this overflow situation if you: • Set up the devices on the listener ports to send less data or data at greater intervals.
