EMU-1 config with USB1000
Good Day, We are trying to configure EMU-1 with Maretron USB1000 on one of our projects including two EMU-1 units. Unfortunately; we can not get connection to PC software would have any suggestions? Kİnd Regards,
NGW-1 beta firmware
Beta firmware is available to download for the NGW-1 with additional conversions available and the ability to use the new NGW Config Tool to accurately set up an NGW-1 how you wish. Included in the additional conversions is support for the heavily requested HDT fast heading, DSC/DSE and many more. To understand the conversions that have been added to the NGW-1, please download the new Conversion List attached to this article. Note: Once the NGW-1 firmware has been updated, it cannot be changed back
NGW-1 to Furuno Vx2
I am looking for help in connecting an NGW-1 to a Furuno Vx2 black box. I want to take depth, water temperature and speed through the water from the unit. I have an Airmar B744 transducer going to an ETR6 sounder module and then to the Vx2 black box. Any help, much appreciated!!
EMU-1 Custom Gauge Tool
We're pleased to announce that the new beta version of the Toolkit supporting the custom gauge tool is now available. This is beta firmware. Only download this version of Toolkit if you are happy to be part of the EMU-1 and Toolkit beta testing programme. Features in this version of Toolkit may not work with other Actisense devices. You can download it here You will also need the latest beta NGT-1 firmware to use this Toolkit, which can be downloaded here: https://desk.zoho.eu/portal/actisense/community/topic/ngt-1-beta-firmware
Teleflex Gauges not working with EMU
Hello, I have teleflex gauges on my boat and I can't seem to configure the EMU-1 to accurately display my engine data. My guages have the same resistance values as Faria brand gauges. I've tried selecting Faria and still not working properly. Any ideas? Thank you
Pro-Mux-1 not accepting baud-rate change on serial port, stuck on 115200
Trying to access the baud-rate it will not accept any changes. will not let us 'activate' the field. Clicking on the field changes color on the field but no change can be done. Other field on same page is may be changed. We need to change to 38.... This is on a user-profile. Windows 7 / IE.
EMU-1 battery voltage calibration when powering through diodes
I need my EMU-1 powered up when motors are off to monitor a sullage tank so I have connected it to the instrument circuit breaker. I also sometimes run an engine to charge batteries and in that case I don't have the instruments running. To power the EMU-1, I have 12v from the instrument breaker and 12v from each ignition switch all connected via diodes. This works fine, except that the measured voltage is of course out by the 0.6V (typical) voltage drop of the diode. My suggestion is to add a calibration
NGW-1 and ICOM IC-M500TR AIS transponder
The above ICOM has NMEA0183 facilities. I'm installing an NMEA2k system on my boat. Each crew member will have a Rescueme MOB1 AIS device. When activated, the location of the MOB is displayed on the ICOM MA-500TR which is located in the cabin. However, an NMEA 2k chartplotter is located in the cockpit. Would like to see the MOB's position on the charplotter. Would the NGW-1 allow for the MOB1 AIS information to be displayed on the chartplotter via the NGW-1? Thanks.
EMU-1 support of Exaust Temperatur PGN 130316 and the sensor
Many competitors offer the supervision of the exaust gas temperature today. NASA ex-1 or Yacht Devices Auspuff Temperatur sensor or Vetus has also an solution Why? This temperature increase much faster than oel or the cool water of the engine. This early warning protects you from engine overhead just BEFORE a damage occurs. . If the EMU-1 supports this, it can be shown in my Zeus3 and I can configure an alarm. I just need to add the sensor to my EMU-1 as gauge input. Nice solution and big value for
Voltage
Hi, The Specs for the QNB-1 working with both 12 and 24 volts. If attached to a 24vdc source, will the network operate at 12v? In other words, is there voltage conversion happening?

Pro-Mux-1 Configuration Wizard Not Working
Good Day User Community, Our new Pro-Mux-1 Multiplexer will no longer accept changes for the user-defined profiles. I have initiated a factory reset successfully, however, I am unable to access the user profiles via the "wizard". I downloaded the Actisense Toolkit, with the thought of uploading new firmware, but did not see an option for the Pro-Mux-1. I created a user-defined profile when initially testing the device with no problems. I am unsure why I can longer access the profiles. Any
Installation support
Good day, Please be advised that we have a source ( talker ) that outputs PGN 127237 normally all your devices outputs only APB but we are on the look out of a device that can give us HSC ,could you please advise a Antisense unit that can convert the above PGN to HSC. We do have a Actisense -NGW-1 unit available with us but wish to hear for an apt solutions to our requirement. We need a bidirectional device that will exchange the following back and forth ( GGA,VTG,VHW,HDT,MWV,HSC and VSC) looking
Convert NMEA 2000 PGN 127237 to HSC

EMU-1 Tachometer Issue
A recent issue has been discovered in v.1.060 of EMU-1 firmware concerning the tachometer output. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: Digital RPM value dropping to zero when true value exceeds 2000-2500RPM. Other digital gauges (such as pressure and temperature) spuriously increase/decrease in value as RPM increases/decreases, despite the analogue gauge remaining stable. The course of action needed to resolve this issue is to revert back to v.0.070 of the EMU-1 firmware by following the steps:

Data problem
I bought a NDC-4 AIS from you in about 2009 and it has worked well until I refitted the C80 multi display unit. AIS source – Digital AIT1000 – AIS talker - This is working and signals received by other vessels, but no display on C80 or VHF or Navtex. NDC-4 rapid green flashing indicates data received. Continuity on the 4 NMEA wires from NDC-4 to C80 plug, but no data on display. The C80 chart was upgraded but I also borrowed another C80 display which also received no data. I should be grateful

Communication between NGW-1 and B & G H2000
After a recent support case involving an NGW-1 and B&G H2000, it became clear that, due to the H2000 using an older version of NMEA 0183, it prevented successful communication with newer devices (like the NGW-1). A previous customer with this issue discovered that there is a firmware update available for the H2000 which should hopefully solve the problem. Please contact B&G for more information on this update. If the firmware update for your H2000 allows it to successfully communicate with an NGW-1,
