Garmin Marine Network Considerations
NOTICE
A Garmin Power over Ethernet (PoE) Isolation Coupler (P/N 010-10580-10)
must be used when connecting any third-party device, such as a FLIR
®
camera, to a Garmin Marine Network. Connecting a PoE device directly to
a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter damages the Garmin chartplotter and
may damage the PoE device. Connecting any third-party device directly to
a Garmin Marine Network chartplotter will cause abnormal behavior on the
Garmin devices, including the devices not properly turning off or the software
becoming inoperable.
This device can connect to additional Garmin Marine Network devices to
share data such as radar, sonar, and detailed mapping. When connecting
Garmin Marine Network devices to this device, observe these considerations.
•
All devices connected to the Garmin Marine Network must be connected to
the same ground.
•
A Garmin Marine Network cable must be used for all Garmin Marine
Network connections.
◦
Third-party CAT5 cable and RJ45 connectors must not be used for
Garmin Marine Network connections.
◦
Additional Garmin Marine Network cables and connectors are available
from your Garmin dealer.
•
The ETHERNET ports on the device each act as a network switch. Any
compatible device can be connected to any ETHERNET port to share data
with all devices on the boat connected by a Garmin Marine Network cable.
NMEA 2000
®
Considerations
NOTICE
If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network, the
NMEA 2000 network should already be connected to power. Do not connect
the NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because
only one power source should be connected to a NMEA 2000 network.
If you are connecting this device to an existing NMEA 2000 network or engine
network by another manufacturer, you should install a NMEA 2000 Power Iso
-
lator (010-11580-00) between the existing network and the Garmin devices.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the
boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will
drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery
directly.
This device can connect to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to share data
from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as a GPS antenna or a VHF radio.
The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors allow you to connect the
device to your existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing
NMEA 2000 network you can create a basic one using cables from Garmin.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the “NMEA 2000
Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000
Products. You can find this document using the “Manuals” link on the product
page for your device at www.garmin.com.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 is used to connect the device to a standard
NMEA 2000 network.

NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations
•
There is one internal NMEA 0183 input port (RX port) and one internal
NMEA 0183 output port (TX port) on the included NMEA 0183 data cable.
You can connect one NMEA 0183 device to the internal RX port to input
data to this Garmin device, and you can connect up to three NMEA 0183
devices in parallel to the internal TX port to receive data output by this
Garmin device.
•
See the installation instructions for the NMEA 0183 device to identify the
transmit (TX) and receive (RX) wires.
•
The device provides one TX port and one RX port. Each internal port has
2 wires, labeled A and B according to the NMEA 0183 convention. The
corresponding A and B wires of each internal port should be connected to
the A (+) and B (-) wires of the NMEA 0183 device.
•
You must use 28 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of
wire. Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing.
•
Do not connect the NMEA 0183 data wires from this device to power
ground.
•
The power cable from this device and the NMEA 0183 devices must be
connected to a common power ground.
•
For two-way communication with a NMEA 0183 device, the internal ports
on the NMEA 0183 data cable are not linked. For example, if the input of
the NMEA 0183 device is connected to TXA on the data cable, you can
connect the output port of your NMEA 0183 device to the input port on the
wiring harness.
•
See NMEA 0183 Information, page 6 for a list of the approved NMEA 0183
sentences that are output by and input to this device.
•
The internal NMEA 0183 ports and communication protocols are config
-
ured on the connected Garmin device. See the NMEA 0183 section of the
chartplotter owner’s manual for more information.
