NMEA 2000 Network Planning and Construction The backbone is the main communication channel of an NMEA 2000 network to which your NMEA 2000 devices connect. You must connect each NMEA 2000 device to the backbone using a T-connector. You must connect the NMEA 2000 backbone to a power source, and you - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 5
. Some devices or sensors can be powered by the NMEA 2000 network, and others may require a separate power connection. Consult the installation instructions for each device you connect to your NMEA 2000 network to make sure you supply power to the device appropriately. Wind sensor Chartplotter or - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 6
Linear Backbone Construction The backbone is the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network, so it is extremely important to construct the backbone properly. An improperly constructed backbone may prevent the network from functioning, or you may experience unexpected performance. The backbone - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 7
Power Connection Considerations NOTICE Connecting the NMEA 2000 network to a power source greater than 12 Vdc may damage devices connected to the network. You must connect the NMEA 2000 network to power through the ignition or other external switch, or it will drain the boat battery when not in use. - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 8
Power Distribution and Balance Selecting the proper location of the power connection to the NMEA 2000 network depends on the length of the backbone and the power needs of the devices on the network. For the NMEA 2000 network to work properly there must not be more than a 1.67 Vdc drop in the supply - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 9
Backbone cable Length = 10 m Backbone cable Length = 6 m When the voltage-drop formula is applied to this example, the voltage drop is less than 1.67 Vdc. This NMEA 2000 network will function correctly when powered at the end: Resistance × Distance × Load × 0.1 = Voltage drop 0.053 × 22 (2 + - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 10

Network Termination You must install terminators at the ends of an NMEA 2000 backbone for it to function correctly. You can install either two standard terminators or one female terminator and an in-line terminator on an NMEA 2000 network. NOTE: You must not install more than two terminators on an - Garmin VHF 215 AIS | Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products - Page 12

NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals
This technical reference provides basic NMEA 2000 component identification (
NMEA 2000 Components
,
page 2
), basic NMEA 2000 network-building instructions (
NMEA 2000 Network Planning and Construction
,
page 4
), and a list of NMEA 2000 data that may be used by some Garmin NMEA 2000 certified devices
(
General NMEA 2000 Data Types
, page 12
).
What is NMEA 2000?
NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display
devices within ships and boats, and is considered the successor to the NMEA
®
0183 serial data bus standard.
You can learn more about NMEA 2000 and purchase the NMEA 2000 standard documentation at
nmea.org

.
Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors on devices, sensors, and T-connectors that are compatible with
other NMEA 2000 micro connectors, cables, and NMEA 2000 compatible devices.
