Furuno Effortless NMEA Connection Setup for Marine RADAR Systems

NMEA connection

You will need an NMEA cable to connect a video sounder or a navigator. Connect it to the NMEA connector at the rear of the radar display unit as shown below.

NMEA

DJ-1

10.2-31.0VDC

1 3GND

MJ-A6SPF0012-050/100 2 (option of external equipment)

To navigator or NMEA output of video sounder

Figure 14 Navigator connection

Note: Do not use a cross wiring-type NMEA cable which has connectors at both ends (for example, MJ-A6SPF0012-050). Miswiring can result when the one of the connectors is removed to make the connection.

To connect both a video sounder and a navigator, use NMEA cable MJA6SPF0003-050/MJ- A6SPF0009-100 (option) and solder them as shown below.

Note 1: Tape cables to prevent short.

Note 2: You may cut a NMEA cable which has connectors at both ends. However, do not modify waterproof connector of NMEA cable.

To connect equipment whose NMEA output uses other than a FURUNO 6 pin NMEA connector, use NMEA cable type MJ-A6SPF0003-050/MJ-A6SPF0009-100 to make the connection.
