Page 4: Product Overview
1 Product overview: Congratulations, you are the owner of a brand new NMEA Connect Plus. The NMEA Connect Plus (NCP along the document) product line belongs to a family of gateways and range extenders. The NCP lets you connect any ultrasonic wind meter (wired or Portable) from Calypso´s portfolio to an NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 network, and/or extend your Bluetooth and WIFI signal range. - Page 5 High End: The most versatile model. You can receive wind data from any Ultrasonic wind meter within Calypso´s range of products (by the NMEA 0183 interface or by Bluetooth signal), and converts the wind data into NMEA 0183 sentences (wired and Wi‐Fi), NMEA 2000 PGNs and Bluetooth.

Display 3.2 ULTRASONIC PORTABLE to NMEA 2000 If you have a Calypso Ultrasonic Portable and want to monitor the wind data in your NMEA 2000 devices, the best option is to use the NCP: ´BT2000´ Model. The NCP will receive the wind data from your Ultrasonic via Bluetooth and export it into the NMEA 2000 interface. - Page 7 3.3 ULTRASONIC Wired or ULP485 to BLE and to NMEA 2000 If you have a Calypso Ultrasonic Wired or ULP485 and want to monitor the wind data in your NMEA 2000 navigation instruments and also in your BLE devices the NCP ‘W2000’...
- Page 8 This model selects the first data stream that comes in (detects a wired data stream and connects otherwise detects BLE and connects) is the one that stays it to all output interfaces (NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000, BLE, or WIFI). The input data will be broadcasted across all output interfaces. Full NMEA 0183 Display...

Page 9: Package Content
In order to use it you need a USB cable with end free wires. Take a look at section 6.1 for further information regarding the connection of the USB. 5.3 NMEA 2000® interface The NMEA Connect Plus is equipped with an NMEA 2000 interface to connect to an NMEA 2000 backbone. - Page 10 NCP will translate NMEA 0183 wind sentences into NMEA 2000 PGN's (messages). This feature enables a seamless integration between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 navigation devices. Also wind data received via BLE is converted into NMEA 2000 protocol and transferred to an NMEA 2000 network. When connected to the NMEA 2000 backbone, the NCP receives its power from it, no additional power is needed.
- Page 11 Low power – 126mA at 12 VDC (3 LEN) from NMEA 2000 bus. 5.4 NMEA 0183 The NMEA Connect Plus has two RS485 interfaces to be used as NMEA 0183 ports, whereby two wires are used to transmit the NMEA data.
-
Page 12: Wifi-Access Point
NCP is able to transmit the following wind sentence: $IIMWV,XX,R,XX.XX,N,A*CR\r\n Wind speed in knots 5.5 WIFI NMEA 0183 server Models with Wi‐Fi have a NMEA 0183 Wi‐Fi server, that allows sending the input wind data via Wi‐Fi, using a TCP socket and sending it with the format of the NMEA 0183 sentences (see section 8.3 to configure the TCP port). -
Page 13: Installation
Before you start the installation make sure all power sources are off!! To connect a cable to the NCP internal interface follow the steps below: 1. Remove the screws to open the NMEA Connect Plus gateway. The connectors are in the position as the following image shows. - Page 14 (To achieve the IP68 rating, all glands must be occupied by round-section cables of between 4.5mm and 10mm or be replaced by blanking plugs) 5. Attach the NMEA Connect Plus securely to the vessel. 6. When all wires are connected and the gateway is closed, connect the cables to your network and power them if necessary (when using an NMEA2000 network the NCP will be powered through the NMEA 2000 cable.

- Page 18 6.5 Shared power between NCP and RS485 device: If you want to use a single power supply to power the NCP and your Calypso ULTRASONIC, you have to share the GND from the power supply between the GND of POWER and the GND of the RS485 port.
- Page 19 For example, the connection can be done in the following way: • ULTRASONIC wired BLE connected to the NCP: POWER +12V SUPPLY This image shows the connection of a Ultrasonic Wired BLE, using a power supply to power the ULTRASONIC and the NCP. The +12V (red wire) has to be connected to the +12V input of the NCP dedicated input power, and also to the Ultrasonic Vcc (yellow wire), you can put both cables together in the connector (as in the picture) or you can use a screw terminal block to...
- Page 20 To access it, make sure you have connected your PC or device to your NMEA Connect Plus Access Point via Wi‐Fi (see section 5.7 -WIFI‐Access Point- for further details) or the NCP is connected via Wi‐Fi to your network (see section 5.8 and 8.1).

In BLE and N0183 sections, if Receiving is True, that shows that this is the Wind source it’s receiving data from. Only one wind source can be True. In BLE section, it also shows the MAC address of the ULTRASONIC connected and used as wind source, and the number of Centrals connected. - Page 24 8 Configuration: Access the Configuration page to modify the desired parameters. Important: after making any change along the configuration you must click the SAVE button and then RESET the device. 8.1 WIFI STATION CONFIGURATION, and IP CONFIGURATION This section is used to configure the NCP to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
