Connecting multiple NMEA0183 Listeners to NGW-1

Connecting multiple NMEA0183 Listeners to NGW-1

NMEA 0183 Output

It is perfectly acceptable to connect up to eight devices to the NGW-1 NMEA 0183 output provided that they are all individually electrically isolated, depending on the electrical demands from each device. However, please check with your device manufacturers that you do not have more than one device that does not have an electrically isolated input.
