Installation
Mounting Considerations
• Locate the data converter well away from areas subject to water splash and
rain.
• Keep the data converter out of direct sunlight because of heat that can build
up inside the cabinet.
Mounting
Fix the data converter to the mounting location with two self tapping screws
(3x20), referring to the outline drawing in this manual.
Wiring
Connection to Furuno CAN bus device
Connect the Furuno CAN bus cable to the Furuno CAN bus device. See
“Furuno CAN bus Network Design” (TIE-00170-x) for details about CAN bus
network.
Connection to NMEA0183 device
Connect the NMEA0183 signal cores to NMEA0183 device, referring to the
interconnection diagram as below.
Note: NMEA0183 cable terminal is not waterproof. Therefore, install the
equipment away from areas subject to water splash and rain.

After the connection, cut the unused cable cores and wind vinyl tape around
the each edge of the wires and fix them so that they do not touch other signal
cores or ground.

Conversion Mode
PORT1 (ORG), PORT2 (PPL), GND (BLK) signal cores of the NMEA0183
cables are short-circuited (default). By cutting the specified signal core, the
conversion mode can be changed. Select the conversion mode according to
the baud rate of the connected device. For connection to an AIS device, select
the AIS mode.
Note1: Check the applicable checkbox on the nameplate according to the
conversion mode selected.
Note2: Wind vinyl tape around unused cores and fix the cores so that they do
not touch other signal cores or ground.
Note3: Turn off the unit before cutting the signal cores.
