The VDO 110mm Gauge The 110mm gauges can be used in the AcquaLink system or added to a existing NMEA 2000 network. In the AcquaLink system the gauges receive the data through the AcquaLink Nav Box. The gauges are daisy chained with VDO bus cables. -
Page 8: Vdo Bus
The VDO Bus is a proprietary CanBus system based on NMEA 2000. Heart of the VDO Bus AcquaLink system is the Nav Box. The Nav Box provides a wide range of digital and analogue input possiblities and distributes the received data to all gauges in the VDO Bus network. - Page 9 The VDO Bus network has to be terminated with three 120ohm termina- tors (included with the Nav Box) You need to connect an 180Ohm terminator plug at the end of any VDO segment or not used Nav Box connector. Note: VDO Bus cables have two female connectors.

Page 10: The Nmea Interface
Calculation 12V power supply: The voltage drop for every segment of the VDO Bus is calculated as follow: Ohm‘s Law: E (voltage drop) = I (circuit current) x R (wire resistance) R= 2/2x Cable Length (m) x Power Pair Resistance / 100 I= LEN (Load Equivalency Number) x 0.050 amps... - Page 11 Rudder angle 127245 Rudder Note: If more than one Tachometer is used in a NMEA 2000 network the gauges have to be preprogrammed using the AcquaLink Nav Box. With the Nav Box you can write instance numbers 0-3 to a gauge.
- Page 12 EasyLink daisy chain connection. Up to 16 satellite gauges can be connected to each tachometer. The 52mm gauges are displaying the data distributed by the tachometer. The gauges can be used in a VDO or NMEA 2000 network. Note: Engine instance can not be selected Supported NMEA 2000 PGNs...
