Introduction & Features

The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialised analogue to NMEA 2000 

Gateway which converts data from analogue engine gauges/

senders into NMEA 2000 data. Please refer to the FAQs for 

gauge/sender compatibility details.

The EMU-1 can monitor vital engine parameters such as 

temperature, pressure RPM and fluid levels from up to two 

engines.

The EMU-1 has a PC based configuration tool that allows 

the settings inside the EMU-1 to be changed to best suit the 

engine it is working with, making it a flexible solution for many 

engine makes and models. An Actisense PC to NMEA 2000 

Gateway (NGT-1) is required to configure the EMU-1.
