Interfacing a DSC VHF radio via NMEA 0183 to an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD - Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator - 03-29-16 10:47 AM
Interfacing a DSC VHF radio via NMEA 0183 to an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD
NOTE: As the colors of the NMEA 0183 leads of DSC VHF radios differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and often from model to model, it will be necessary to consult your DSC VHF radio's installation/operation guide to determine the colors of its leads supporting the following:
- NMEA 0183 IN+ (required)
- NMEA 0183 IN- (required)
- NMEA 0183 OUT+ (optional ... permits MFD to automatically plot DSC position reports)
- NMEA 0183 OUT- (optional ... permits MFD to automatically plot DSC position reports)
----------------------
On the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD to which the NMEA 0183 DSC VHF will be interfaced, configure the MFD's Port 1 for 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 communications (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->NMEA SET-UP->NMEA INPUT PORT 1:->NMEA 4800). The NMEA 0183 Port 1 leads of the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD's Power/NMEA 0183 Video Input Cable will be interfaced to the NMEA 0183 leads of the DSC VHF radio as follows:
- MFD NMEA 0183 Port 1 OUT+ (yellow) lead to DSC VHF 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 IN+ lead
- MFD NMEA 0183 Port 1 OUT+ (brown) lead to DSC VHF 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 IN- lead
- MFD NMEA 0183 Port 1 IN+ (white) lead to DSC VHF 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 OUT+ (blue) lead
- MFD NMEA 0183 Port 1 IN- (green) lead to DSC VHF 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 OUT- (brown) lead
