Connection Specification
AIS antenna connector Standard BNC female 50-Ohm connector. An active VHF antenna splitter (e.g., A015-RX) is required if sharing one VHF antenna between the A024 and a VHF voice radio. Separate antennas are recommended.
USB connector Micro USB connector supplies power and outputs NMEA messages. Also used for adjusting parameters via GUI configuration software.
WiFi Supports Ad hoc and Station modes on 802.11 b/g/n.
NMEA 0183 output connectors Can connect to AIS and SeaTalk-compatible equipment (wind, depth, heading sensors). Sends NMEA 0183 messages simultaneously over WiFi, USB, and NMEA outputs for chart plotters.
LED indicators Three LEDs: Power (top, red), AIS (center, green), GPS* (bottom, green). AIS LED flashes rapidly when receiving signals. *GPS LED has no function on this unit because GPS is not included.

FAQ

FAQ

Optional – will you need to add a Protocol Bridge?

This product uses the NMEA 0183-RS422 protocol (differential signal), however some chart plotters or devices may use the older NMEA-RS232 protocol (single-ended signal).

Some customers have found that their Garmin products use the older RS232 connection. This is not a problem as our AS03 Protocol Bridge connects NMEA-RS232 wiring to MNEA0183-RS422 and vice versa.

The -AS03 Protocol Bridge is easy to install using a simple ‘plug ‘n’ play’ connection with no setup or configuration needed. You will probably need one if you are connecting to a Garmin device or some Raymarine products.

The easiest way to check is to look at the input/output connections on the device that you will connect the multiplexer to. If the input/output connections on your device (chart plotter, depth reader, etc.) have a TX, RX or GND connection, you will need to use a protocol bridge.

If in doubt contact us for advice.
