IS20
* NMEA 0183 input/output The NMEA 0183 input supports two different baud rates: 4.8kbps
and 38.4kbps. These baud rates can be selected from the settings page, allowing you to choose
the appropriate data source for the IS20. The selected data source provides real-time data to the
IS20, which is then displayed on the screen for easy monitoring.
Furthermore, the IS20 has the capability to transmit (repeat) data from the NMEA 0183 input
and send it to other devices using NMEA 0183 output wires. If you wish to forward the data to a
computer, you will need a TTL to USB adapter (not included). This enables the input data to be
displayed on software running on your computer, enhancing data visibility and analysis capabili-
ties.
The IS20 input/output interface is based on NMEA 0183-RS422 (differential) protocol.
For RS422 interface devices , connect '+' to '+' wire of IS20, and '-' to '-' wire of IS20. Swap '+' and
'–' wires if the IS20 does not work.
For RS232 interface device( single end), connect TX/RX to NMEA input/output '-' and GND to
input/output '+'. Swap TX/RX and GND wires if the IS20 does not work.
Type-C connector
The IS20 is supplied with a type-C USB connector and USB cable for settings and upgrade its firm-
ware. The USB cable can be linked directly to a USB port on the Windows PC.
NMEA 2000 connector
The IS20 provides a standard male NMEA 2000 connector. It can also be connected to a NMEA
2000 network to receive NMEA 2000 data. The NMEA 2000 connector also provides the power
supply to IS20.
GETTING STARTED
Turning the unit on and off
The IS20 offers two options for powering the device: through the N2K connector or the power
cable connected to the Power and NMEA 0183 input/output connector. Once power is supplied,
press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds to turn on the screen. The Quark-elec logo will
