Connecting the VMM6 consists of plugging the unit into the vessel's NMEA 2000® network. The unit
can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network directly with the 6 position Deutsch DT Series
receptacle molded into the unit or via use of the A3702 VMM to NMEA 2000® Adapter Cable.
The NMEA 2000® connector is the round five-pin male connector found on the VMM to NMEA

VMM6 to a NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or compatible cable) by
connecting the female end of the cable to the male NMEA 2000 connector on the VMM to NMEA
2000® Adapter Cable (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector).
Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened
firmly. Connect the other end of the cable by plugging into the 6 position connector on the rear of
the VMM6, applying pressure until the connector latch clicks. The VMM6 is designed so that you
can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000® network while the power to the network is connected or

NMEA 2000 connections can be made using pre-assembled leads or may be made using field
attachable connectors and cables (See: Figure 7).
