Description
NMEA 2000 Engine Monitoring Unit - Analog to NMEA2000 Engine Gateway Share engine information on the NMEA 2000 bus. The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialized analogue to NMEA 2000 Gateway which converts data from analogue engine gauges/senders into NMEA 2000 data.
The EMU-1 enables the sharing of engine data throughout the NMEA 2000 bus. It digitizes analogue engine sensors, enabling NMEA 2000 display devices to monitor the connected engine(s) on a vessel.
The EMU-1 can monitor vital engine parameters such as temperature, pressure RPM and fluid levels from up to two engines. 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.
An Actisense PC to NMEA 2000 Gateway (NGX-1/NGT-1) is required to configure the EMU-1. The NGX-1 or NGT-1 must be used to update the firmware, connect the Toolkit and display data on a PC for diagnostic and information purposes, using NMEA Reader.
Please visit the NGX-1 page and/or NGT-1 page for product details. Features: Enables analogue signals to be converted to NMEA 2000 messages Convert signals from up to two engines (that share a common ground) with a single EMU-1 6 gauge / parameter inputs 4 alarm inputs 2 additional auxiliary inputs 2 Tacho inputs Customized IP65 case Diagnostic LED’s Wide power compatibility of 9 to 35VDC No need to change an existing engine Easy installation Easy to configure to suit the connected engine Connect signals from fluid level gauges (that share a common ground with the engine) to NMEA 2000® Optional DIN rail mounting kit available Total engine hours are logged by the monitoring of engine Tach (RPM) input Technical Specifications: Power Supply Supply Voltage - 9 to 35VDC Supply Current - Typically Supply Protection - Continuous reverse polarity protection and load dump protection (meets SAE J1113) Supply Connector - Pluggable 2-way screw terminal, 3.

Marine Navigation & Instruments — frequently asked
- What’s the difference between a chartplotter and a fishfinder?
- A chartplotter shows your GPS position on electronic charts for navigation. A fishfinder uses sonar to show what’s below the boat — depth, bottom structure, and fish. Many modern units combine both, and networked systems can share data across displays.
- Do I really need a VHF radio?
- For safety, yes. A VHF radio is the primary way to reach other vessels and the Coast Guard, and a DSC-equipped VHF connected to GPS can transmit your position in an emergency. It’s more reliable than a cell phone offshore and is the recognized standard for marine distress calls.
- What is NMEA 2000 and do I need it?
- NMEA 2000 is a standard network that lets marine electronics — chartplotter, sonar, autopilot, sensors, engine data — share information over a single backbone. It’s not required for a simple setup, but it makes multi-device systems far easier to expand and integrate.
