WHAT IS THE CABLE NECESARY TO CONECT THE NMEA output to a 5 pin Garmin backbone?

The Matsutec HP-528A uses RS-422 for NMEA output, while the Garmin NMEA 2000 backbone uses a 5-pin connector. NMEA 2000 is not directly compatible with RS-422 (NMEA 0183). To connect them, you need an NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 converter.

To wire the Matsutec HP-528A to the converter:
- Use the RS-422 TX+ (Pin 7) and TX- (Pin 6) from the Matsutec.
- Connect these to the NMEA 0183 input on the converter.
- The converter will then output NMEA 2000 data to the Garmin backbone using a standard NMEA 2000 drop cable.

Ensure the converter supports bidirectional communication if you need data sent back to the Matsutec.

To connect a Matsutec HP-528A to a Simrad NSS Evo3S radar display, follow these steps:

1. Check Compatibility: The HP-528A supports NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data output. The Simrad NSS Evo3S has NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 input options.

2. Choose Connection Type:
- NMEA 0183 Connection:
- Identify the NMEA 0183 output wires on the HP-528A.
- Connect the HP-528A NMEA 0183 output (TX+) to the Simrad NSS Evo3S NMEA 0183 input (RX+).
- Connect the HP-528A NMEA 0183 ground to Simrad's NMEA ground.
- Set the baud rate to match (typically 4800 or 38400 bps).
- NMEA 2000 Connection (if available):
- Use an NMEA 2000 adapter cable if the HP-528A supports it.
- Connect the HP-528A to an NMEA 2000 backbone where the Simrad NSS Evo3S is also connected.

3. Configure the Devices:
- On the HP-528A, enable the necessary NMEA output sentences (e.g., VDM, VDO for AIS data).
- On the Simrad NSS Evo3S, configure the input to accept AIS data from the connected NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 source.

4. Test the Connection:
- Confirm that the Simrad NSS Evo3S detects AIS targets from the HP-528A.
- Check for any connection or configuration issues and adjust settings if needed.

This setup ensures that AIS data from the HP-528A is displayed on the Simrad NSS Evo3S radar display.
