Quick Start Guide for iKonvert (USB) V2.00

Once you have set the DIP switches,
power cycle iKonvert (OFF…wait 2 seconds…ON) and when it powers up, it will be
in the selected mode.
The operating modes have been defined to satisfy the installation scenarios most commonly found on pleasure boats. If
you have an installation requirement, that is not covered by one of these modes, please let us know.
Table of iKonvert Conversion Modes…
Some examples of how these Operating Modes can be used are;
1) You have an older DSC VHF that needs GPS data in NMEA0183 format, you can set iKonvert to
GPS (1Hz)
Mode
and the VHF radio will receive this data from the NMEA2000 network.
2) You have an AIS unit with an NMEA0183 Output and you want to use it with a new Chart Plotter that only has an
NMEA2000 interface, you can set iKonvert to
AIS Mode
and the AIS data will be converted to NMEA2000.
3) You have a navigation software package running on a PC/Mac and want to convert all of your NMEA2000 data in
to NMEA0183, which is the only format the software supports, set iKonvert to
Gateway HS
(High Speed) mode
and all of the data NMEA2000 supported by NMEA0183 sentences will be converted.
It should be noted that conversions are in both directions, so if you select for instance Depth Mode, any NMEA0183
Depth data received will be converted to NMEA2000 or if NMEA2000 Depth is on the network, then this will be converted
to NMEA0183.
For software applications or devices that know how to read NMEA2000 PGNs, we have developed a special
“RAW Data”
Mode that takes the NMEA2000 binary PGN data and encapsulates it in a Digital Yacht proprietary NME0183 sentence.
The same application can also transmit data on to the NMEA2000 network, by sending another proprietary sentence with
the binary PGN data back to iKonvert.
