WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Do not attempt to open the unit’s chassis. There are no user-serviceable parts or adjustments
inside. Take care when handling.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

As with all products with a chrome finish exposed to the harsh Marine environment, a little care
will help to preserve the finish and prevent corrosion. Fusion recommends that you clean any salt
water and/or salt residue from the remote with a damp cloth soaked in fresh water. Always fit the
protective cover when not in use.

INSTALLATION

To complete the ultimate marine audio experience MS-NRX200i Marine Wired Remote Controls can
be installed throughout the vessel to provide full control of multiple FUSION Marine Stereos, creating
flexible zone control and NMEA 2000 monitoring solutions.

INSTALLATION OPTION 1:
FUSION REMOTE CONTROL NETWORK

Connecting a FUSION Network

To avoid exceeding the power loading limitations of a FUSION remote control network the maximum number of
devices supported on a FUSION network is;

1. One FUSION Stereo Head Unit (MS-IP700i, MS-AV700i, MS-RA205, MS-BB300, MS-UD650, MS-AV650, MS­UD750, MS-AV750).

2. Up to three MS-NRX200i remote controls.

For installations requiring a greater number of devices or connecting to other NMEA 2000 equipment the
installation of a full NMEA 2000 network is required. Refer to Option 2.

with the stereo.

For the MS-UD650, MS-AV650, MS-UD750 and MS-AV750 stereos the WIRED REMOTE cable is located in the
wiring loom at the rear of the stereo.

Important Note: To provide power to the remote controls on the FUSION remote control network ensure NRX
POWER is enabled in the setting menu. Press the ‘Menu’ button and select ‘SETTINGS’ > ‘NRX POWER’ select

FUSION’s MS-NRX200i wired remote controls are capable of operating over an existing NMEA 2000
network, removing the need to wire back to the stereo unit. The MS-NRX200i pack contains all
necessary cables and connectors for connecting the remote control to an existing NMEA 2000 network.

Important Note: NMEA 2000 Drop cables for FUSION Stereo head units are not supplied with the
stereos. The drop cables are available from FUSION as an optional accessory. DO NOT use the red
FUSION Powered Drop cable in this installation. FUSION stereos must connect using the black NMEA
2000 drop cables.
