5 In similar fashion, a NMEA 2000 network allows multiple display units to receive data from a GPS antenna or multiple sonar units to receive messages sent from a temperature sensor. A NMEA 2000 network gives you the flexibility to view information like, engine diagnostics and fuel level data on digital gauges or display units located anywhere on y[...]

6 NMEA 2000 network node located at the end of a NMEA 2000 backbone. NOTE: If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not attached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corrosion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" stamped into the[...]

7 In this example, a new device is added to the N ME A 2000 bus by installing a T conn ector between a T connector and a terminator at the end of the backbone (network bus). Additional Network Information For more information on creating or expanding a network refer to the NMEA 2000 network setup booklet, par t num ber 988-0154-173, which came pack[...]
