Actisense Engine Management Unit Analog – NMEA2000
Engine Management Unit Analog - NMEA2000
Share engine information on the NMEA 2000® bus...
The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialised analogue to NMEA 2000 Gateway which converts data from analogue engine senders into NMEA 2000. The EMU-1 enables NMEA 2000 display devices to monitor the engine on a vessel.
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. Capable of measuring a wide range of engine parameters, the EMU-1 reports how the engine is operating and shares the information across the network.
Designed to simplify the conversion of analogue engine parameters (e.g. Temperature, pressure and RPM) into NMEA 2000 engine PGNs, the EMU-1 simplifies processes and reduces the number of input/output wires required at each engine. Additionally, the EMU-1 also supports the conversion of analogue transmission parameters and battery status to the associated NMEA 2000 PGN's.
The two-part screw terminal connection system allows for an easy pluggable connection to an engine wiring harness.
Multiple engines are supported by the setting of the engine instance using the EMU-1 configuration tool. Currently one EMU-1 per engine is supported. Support for multiple engines on a single EMU-1 is currently planned as a future firmware update.
The customised case ensures that the electronics are sealed while allowing quick access to the electrical connections.
It is recommended that an Actisense NGT-1 NMEA 2000 PC Interface is available for every EMU-1 installation. The NGT-1 can be used to update the Firmware, connect the Configuration Tool and display data on a PC for diagnostic and information purposes, using NMEA Reader. Please visit the NGT-1 page for product details.

Actisense Micro 4-Way Instrument Drop
Micro 4-Way Instrument Drop
The Actisense 4-way drop makes it easier to reach up to four devices with a single cable.
Typically, when four devices need to be connected to an NMEA 2000 backbone, a T-piece and individual cable is required for each one. This can either mean excessive cabling demands or moving the backbone closer to your devices.
The 4-way drop makes it possible to shorten the length of each cable needed before reaching a T-piece.

Actisense NMEA 2000® Rib Starter Kit
NMEA 2000® Rib Starter Kit
An expandable solution for smaller boat users that wish to install an NMEA 2000 network.
Installing small NMEA 2000 networks is quicker and easier than it’s ever been with this NMEA 2000 Starter Kit (A2K-KIT-3) from Actisense.
The equivalent of four T-pieces in a single case provides a significant time and space saving with no more connecting multiple T-pieces together. Termination resistors are included and as they are removable, the network can be extended if needed.
The Micro power cord provides a unique solution to quickly power your network that is easy to install, taking ‘Plug & Play’ to the next level.
The NMEA 2000 Starter Kit 3 contains:
- A2K-MPC-1: NMEA 2000 Micro power cable, 3m UL certified cable
- A2K-TER-F: NMEA 2000 micro terminator female – to terminate one end of the network
- A2K-TER-M: NMEA 2000 micro terminator male – to terminate one end of the network

Actisense NMEA0183 Buffer w/6 ISO-Drive Outputs
NMEA0183 Buffer w/6 ISO-Drive Outputs
Safely drive up to six NMEA Listeners, with power distribution for the connected Talker...
The Actisense NBF-3 NMEA Buffer isolates and buffers NMEA 0183 data, with the power to drive multiple devices.
The NBF-3 can distribute up to six identical, amplified streams of data from one source. The NMEA signals are buffered to ensure that each Listener receives the data at the required voltage levels, providing consistent data quality.
The isolation on the input and each of the outputs ensures the protection of the source Talker device and all the Listening devices. The safe connections mean that a non-isolated device could be connected and the NBF-3 would prevent it from causing any damage to the other equipment in the system. Ground loops often occur when devices are not isolated and can cause irreparable damage. Actisense ISO-Drive technology on the outputs along with the galvanic opto-isolation on the input means you can connect the NBF-3 with complete peace of mind.
The NBF-3 has the addition of power distribution for the NMEA Talker. By having power and data from the same source, cabling requirements are reduced and installation is simple.

Actisense NMEA0183 Data Combiner w/RS232
NMEA0183 Data Combiner w/RS232
Flexible multiplexing w/preconfigured version for Autoswitching or AIS operation...
The Actisense NDC-4 and NDC-4-USB allow up to five OPTO isolated NMEA 0183 sources to be multiplexed into a single stream*.
Two flexible ISO-Drive outputs allow two different downstream talker baud rates to be created, ensuring maximum system flexibility.
The NDC-4 is flexible and powerful enough to be the heart of a simple system, or one of many Actisense products in a more complex system. It provides complete access to all NMEA 0183 data sources, configurable filters to remove unwanted data, as well as enabling an on-board PC to read and add the combined data stream.
Factory preconfigured versions enable the NDC-4 to be used out of the box for AIS operation (NDC-4-AIS) or as an Autoswitch (NDC-4-ASW).
*Four inputs on the USB version, as the USB interface acts as the fifth channel, overriding the fifth OPTO input.
