6 INSTALLATION
The R200U unit is not waterproof and should be installed in a dry location. The unit can be secured
by the 4 mounting holes in the end flanges. It should ideally be installed in a location suitable for
connection to power and a VHF antenna, observing a compass safe distance of 0.5m.
6.1 Power Connection
Operation is from either the boats dc supply of 12-24 Volts, or by the USB cable from a computer.
Connect the power data cable to:
RED
Positive +
BLACK
Negative -
A switched fused supply is recommended with a fuse value of 1 Amp.
6.2 NMEA Connections
The R200U has one NMEA 0183 Output at 38,400 baud, and one NMEA Input at 4800 baud.
The NMEA output is set to 38,400 baud and can be connected to a suitable Chart Plotter that will
accept AIS data in.
YELLOW
NMEA Output Positive +
GREEN
NMEA Output Negative -
If the equipment that you are connecting to has a pair of NMEA cables, normally marked NMEA
Input Positive and Negative these should go to the respective NMEA output on the R200U unit.
If the equipment has only one (Positive) +NMEA Input wire, this should go to the +NMEA Output
and the wire from the -NMEA output should then be taken to the common ground/negative of the
other equipment.
