NMEA Cable Connections

NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment. For example, an autopilot can connect to the NMEA inter- face on the SeaCharter 640cDF and receive positioning information. The SeaCharter is capable of exchanging information with any device that transmits or receives NMEA 0183 data, however, a communica- tions cable is not available for the unit at this time. If you need to cre- ate a NMEA 0183 connection, consult customer service. Service contact information is located in the back of this manual.

NMEA Wiring

To exchange NMEA data, the unit has one NMEA 0183 version 2.0 communication port. Com port one (Com-1) can be used to receive NMEA format GPS data. The com port can also transmit NMEA format GPS data to another device.

A data cable should contain three wires. Com-1 uses the yellow wire to transmit, the orange wire to receive and the shield wire for signal ground.
