·By Posted by Michelle Howard
Powerful NMEA Engine Monitoring Gateway Now Available from U.S. Distributor.
Gemeco Marine Accessories, has announced the availability of the new intelligent National Marine Electronic Association (NMEA)-compliant gateway, the Actisense Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU-1). Designed to digitize analog engine data, the EMU-1 gateway is an innovative, cost-effective, and easy-to-install solution that allows boaters to display and monitor the engines of their vessel on any NMEA 2000 displays. The new EMU-1 will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show (February 13-17) at the Fugawi-Northport Systems’ booth #1653.
The Actisense EMU-1 gateway is capable of digitizing up to six parameters or gauge inputs in parallel, or four alarms, two tachometer and two auxiliary inputs. Each unit can be configured to meet the versatility of various engine makes and models.
“The EMU-1 has been designed so engine information is easily shared on the NMEA 2000 bus, removing the need and expense associated with changing an existing engine,” said Phil Whitehurst, managing director of Active Research Limited. “This changes the way analog to NMEA data conversions are done. We are gathering feedback from customers to understand what they want the EMU-1 to support so we can prioritize adding additional features.”
