Notice that there are two ways to turn the bilge pump on.

NMEA 2000 ® data extraction software for VDR100īefore we discuss how to monitor the bilge with Maretron equipment, let's take a look at a typical bilge pump and alarm wiring diagram (see Figure 1).

And I don't think that the Simrad NSS evo2 displays or the Raymarine gS12 currently on Gizmo are certified, not to mention a bunch of smaller devices. For instance, I see nothing certified from either LCJ Capteurs or B&G. But I've noticed that many devices, even from major brands, are not certified. Of course, I prefer to use certified devices on Gizmo - they've undergone testing of their network compatibility (though not what data PGNs are sent or displayed). If true, I think it's just plain wrong not to contribute in any way to the largely volunteer organization that created the standard your product is based on.īut then again, the N2K Certification part is trickier business. Maybe I'm missing something when searching the NMEA public records, but Yacht Devices has also failed to answer two inquiries on the subject. My main problem with Yacht Devices, though, is that as best I can tell the company has not even joined NMEA let alone purchased the 2000 documentation and begun the process of Certification. (I'm working on a comparison of two interesting standalone electronic barographs - Starpath's Mintaka Duo and Weems & Plath's model 4002 - and thus more aware than usual that tracking atmospheric pressure still has value.) Note, too, that there's also the LCJ Capteurs NMEA 2000 BaroPlug available and they had to make a special B&G model probably to take care of some non-standard incompatability. Another is that while quite a few N2K displays can graph barometric pressure, a lot of boaters don't want to keep their N2K networks powered up all the time, and it's a 24/7 barograph that can really help you spot weather changes. One is that temperature alarming is not supported by many display systems at this point (I use Gizmo's Maretron displays, but should test the others again). The last step, of course, is to set the magnetic variation or chart datum back to where it was in the first place, but by then the sensor is programmed without the need for any YD display or some sort of N2K gateway and external software.īut now let's discuss some issues.
Setting up an alarm on nmea 2000 network manual#
The manual ( download here) extract above shows how you first put the Yacht Device in programming mode. In other words, YD sensors understand changes made to N2K PGN 129044 or PGN 127258 and can be programmed in all sorts of ways using those changes.
(The reason for alternate controls is that some plotters don't distribute changes in one or the other of those values to the N2K network). Yacht Devices came up with a surprising solution - to program their sensors you use either the chart datum or manual magnetic variation controls available on almost any chart plotter. The NMEA 2000 standard purportedly includes a basic command function for this purpose, but I don't know of any manufacturer that uses it (with the possible exception of Maretron's ability to configure certain Airmar sensors). But there remains the problem of how to configure a third party N2K device that doesn't have any other interface.
