NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
A NMEA 2000 network is made of connected NMEA 2000 devices that communicate using basic plug-and-play functionality.
If your boat already contains a NMEA 2000 network and you would like to add Garmin NMEA 2000 components, see page 8.
For a glossary of commonly used NMEA 2000 terms, see page 8.
After you have installed your NMEA 2000 network, use the checklist on page 37 to verify the installation.
Garmin NMEA 2000 Device Overview
Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors on units, sensors, and T-connectors that are compatible with other NMEA 2000 micro connectors,
cables, and NMEA 2000-compatible devices. Garmin sensors may be packaged with a drop cable and a T-connector. Garmin displays may also
include additional NMEA 2000 components (such as a power cable). The NMEA 2000 components included with a Garmin sensor or display
are listed in the product documentation. A diagram on the product box shows which NMEA 2000 components are included.
+-
Sample Box Diagram (GFS 10)
In the sample box diagram, a complete NMEA 2000 network is shown, and the parts included with the sensor are shaded. In this example, a
T-connector is included with a Garmin GFS 10 fuel sensor. A NMEA 2000 power cable, terminators, an additional drop/backbone cable, and
additional T-connectors are not included with a GFS 10 fuel sensor. The GFS 10 fuel sensor, as shown by the shaded components in the box
diagram, is intended to be connected to an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat. If you do not have a NMEA 2000 network on your boat,
this guide will help you assemble one.

NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
Building a NMEA 2000 Network
The main communication channel of a NMEA 2000 network is a backbone to which your NMEA 2000 devices connect. Each NMEA 2000
device connects to the backbone with a T-connector. The NMEA 2000 backbone must be connected to power, and terminators must be installed
at both ends for the network to function correctly.
When you design a NMEA 2000 network, start by creating a diagram of the network. When creating the diagram, be as detailed as possible:
• Include all of the devices you intend to connect to your network
• Note the approximate location of the backbone and devices on your boat
• Measure the distances between devices and the backbone, as well as the overall length of the backbone
• Note the power consumption of each device (Load Equivalency Number)

This diagram illustrates the NMEA 2000 data connections to each device or sensor. Some devices or sensors can be powered by the NMEA
2000 network; others may require a separate power connection. Consult the installation instructions for each device you connect to your NMEA 2000
network to be sure you supply power to the device appropriately.
When building a NMEA 2000 network, you must follow certain rules to make sure your NMEA 2000 network functions correctly. Be sure to
understand the following concepts:
• Linear backbone construction (page 4)
• Power connection and distribution (page 5)
• Proper termination (page 7)
• Cable length and device limits (page 8)
4 Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products
NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
Linear Backbone Construction
Use the NMEA 2000 T-connectors to construct your NMEA 2000 backbone, and extend the backbone with appropriate lengths of backbone
cable if necessary. Use one T-connector per device. Use the sides of the T-connector to construct the backbone of the NMEA 2000 network, and
use the top of the T-connector to attach a NMEA 2000 device. By using only the sides of the T-connectors to construct the backbone, you create
a linear construction to your NMEA 2000 network. T-connectors can be separated by backbone cables or connected directly together.
Although the male and female connectors on the T-connectors and backbone cables will t on all sides of a T-connector, it is very important to
use the top of the T-connector only to attach NMEA 2000 devices, not to attach other T-connectors or backbone cables.

NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
Power Connection and Distribution
Your NMEA 2000 network must be connected to a 12 Vdc power supply. Do not connect your NMEA 2000 network to any other voltage
source, such as a 24 Vdc power supply. Use a NMEA 2000 power cable to connect your NMEA 2000 backbone to the auxiliary power switch
on your boat. If you do not have an auxiliary power switch, or if connecting to the auxiliary power switch causes electrical interference, connect
the NMEA 2000 power cable directly to the battery and install an in-line switch.
If you connect the NMEA 2000 network to your battery without an in-line switch, it may drain your battery.
Be sure to ground the NMEA 2000 power cable. Connect the bare shield-drain wire to the same location as the ground (black) wire.
The Garmin NMEA 2000 power cable connects to a T-connector like other drop cables. Be sure to connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the
top of a T-connector; never connect the NMEA 2000 power cable to the side of a T-connector. You can connect power either at the end of your
NMEA 2000 network or in the middle. When planning where to place the power cable and the T-connector on your NMEA 2000 network, you
will need to evaluate how the NMEA 2000 devices connected to your network use power. The NMEA 2000 network will work properly when
there is no more than a 3 Vdc drop in the supply voltage between the power source and the NMEA 2000 device located farthest from the power
source on the NMEA 2000 network. To determine the voltage drop in your NMEA 2000 network, use this equation:
Voltage Drop = Cable resistance (ohms/m)* × Distance (from the battery to the farthest device, in meters) × Network Load** × 0.1
* Garmin cable resistance value = 0.053
** Network Load = the sum of Load Equivalent Numbers (LEN) between the battery and the end of the network. The LEN for each device should be visible on
the device, or provided in the documentation for the device.
• If you calculate a voltage drop of 3.0 Vdc or less, then you can connect power to either the end or the middle of your NMEA 2000 network,
and it will function correctly.
• If you calculate a voltage drop of more than 3.0 Vdc, you must connect power to the middle of your NMEA 2000 network. The location will
depend on the network load and distance from the battery. Try to balance the voltage drop equally on both sides of the power connection.
• If a voltage drop of under 3.0 Vdc is not possible on your NMEA 2000 network, contact a professional installer.
Examples
The following examples show a correctly designed, end-powered NMEA 2000 network; an incorrectly designed NMEA 2000 network; and a
redesign of the incorrectly designed NMEA 2000 network to correctly balance power on the network.

When the NMEA 2000 network is redesigned with the power source in the center, you calculate the voltage drop in both directions. If the
T-connector to which you connect the power source is connected directly to another T-connector (as shown in this example), use the LEN from
that device as part of the calculation for both directions.
Voltage Drop Left = 0.053 × (2 + 20 + 2) × (4 + 5) × 0.1 = 1.145 Vdc
Voltage Drop Right = 0.053 × (2 + 10 + 6) × (5 + 7) × 0.1 = 1.145 Vdc

When the voltage drop formula is applied to both the left and right
sides of the power source in this example, we see that the voltage drop

function correctly.
The equation and examples provide conservative estimates for calculating voltage drop.

NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
Proper Termination
You must install terminators at the ends of your NMEA 2000 backbone for it to function correctly. You have two options when installing
terminators on your NMEA 2000 network.
1. Typical Terminators
If your NMEA 2000 network is built with correct linear backbone construction, use one female terminator and one male terminator. Install
the terminators at opposite ends of your NMEA 2000 network.

2. In-line Terminators
If one or both of the NMEA 2000 devices at opposite ends of your NMEA 2000 network are separated from the rest of the NMEA 2000
network by a length of backbone cable, and the typical T-connector/drop cable/terminator combination is not feasible or is too bulky for the
area, use an in-line terminator instead of the nal T-connector on the backbone. Connect the nal device to the in-line terminator with the
appropriate length of drop cable, or connect the nal device directly to the in-line terminator, without a drop cable.

or use a drop cable up to 6 m (20 ft.) long.
Do not connect additional T-connectors or
terminators.
Do not use more than two terminators in a NMEA 2000 network.
The in-line terminator connects to the NMEA 2000 backbone with a male connector, and to the nal NMEA 2000 device with a female
connector. Because of this, you can only use one in-line terminator on a NMEA 2000 network.
8 Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products
NMEA 2000 Fundamentals
Cable Length and Device Limits
When building your NMEA 2000 network, keep in mind these limitations:
• The distance between any two points on the NMEA 2000 network must not exceed 100 m (328 ft). To estimate this distance, measure
between the terminators on your backbone and add the length of the drop cable for the devices connected to the T-connectors at the ends of
the network.
• The total length of all drop cables cannot exceed 78 m (256 ft).
• The maximum length of a single drop cable to a NMEA 2000 device is 6 m (20 ft).
• No more than 50 NMEA 2000 devices can be connected to your NMEA 2000 network.
Existing NMEA 2000 Installation Considerations
If your boat has an existing NMEA 2000 installation, and you would like to add Garmin NMEA 2000 equipment, there are a few things to
consider:
: Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors for all cables and connectors. Your existing NMEA 2000 network may use NMEA
2000 mini connectors and cables in the backbone. Mini connectors are larger than micro connectors, and you will need to use a converter or
adapter to connect with Garmin NMEA 2000 devices.
: Is the existing NMEA 2000 network connected to power? A NMEA 2000 network must be connected to power to function correctly
(page 5). Do not connect the NMEA 2000 network to power at more than one location.
: Are terminators installed on the ends of the existing NMEA 2000 backbone? A NMEA 2000 network must be terminated to
function correctly. Do not add more terminators to a NMEA 2000 network if it is already properly terminated.
If you are unsure of any of these considerations, contact your boat manufacturer or a certied NMEA 2000 technician for assistance.
NMEA 2000 Glossary
—Three-way connector with one male and two female micro connectors. A T-connector is used to connect a NMEA 2000 device to
the NMEA 2000 backbone.
—120 ohm resistor located at each end of the NMEA 2000 backbone. Proper termination helps ensure signal integrity across the
entire length of the backbone.
—Special terminator with male and female connectors, which allows direct connection to the a device at the end of the
NMEA 2000 backbone. The inline terminator simplies installation by not requiring a T-connector, terminator, and drop cable for the device at
the end of the backbone.
—Cable connecting a NMEA 2000 device to the NMEA 2000 backbone. Drop cables are limited to 6 m (20 ft.) maximum length.
—In conjunction with T-connectors, the backbone cables create the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network.
A backbone cable extends the NMEA 2000 backbone to connect NMEA 2000 devices located in different places on the boat. The maximum
backbone cable length is 100 m (328 ft.).
—Electronic hardware that connects to the NMEA 2000 network. A device may only receive data transmitted by other devices on the
network, or may both transmit and receive data on the network.
—12 Vdc power supplied to the NMEA 2000 network. Power should be connected through a switch (instead of directly
connected to the battery) because some devices are always on when NMEA 2000 power is present. NMEA 2000 devices must operate from 9 to
16 Vdc, with a nominal voltage of 12 Vdc.
—A number that indicates the amount of current a device draws from the NMEA 2000 network.
1 LEN = 50 mA. Each device should have an LEN specied on the product or in the product documentation.

General NMEA 2000 Data Type Requirements
General NMEA 2000 Data Type Requirements
Each NMEA 2000-certied sensor provides unique information to the NMEA 2000-certied display devices (such as a GPSMAP 4000/5000
series chartplotter or a GMI 10) on the NMEA 2000 network. The data you can view on your display device depends on the sensors you have

NMEA 2000-Compatible Display Device PGN Information
NMEA 2000-Certied Display Device PGN Information
All data transmitted on a NMEA 2000 network are organized into groups. These groups are identied by a Parameter Group Number (PGN)
that describes the type of data contained in the group. All Garmin NMEA 2000 devices use the proprietary PGN numbers 126720 and 61184.
All other PGN numbers follow the NMEA 2000 standard.
The following tables list the non-proprietary PGN information for all Garmin NMEA 2000-certied display devices.
For NMEA 2000 conguration information on every available Garmin NMEA 2000-certied display device, see the owner’s manual for your
display device.

NMEA 2000-Certied Sensor Conguration Information
GFS 10 (Garmin Fuel Sensor)
The GFS 10 is a sensor that helps you better determine the amount of fuel used on your boat. You should not rely solely on the GFS 10 for
fuel-level information. Carefully compare information displayed on the unit to all available fuel-level instruments and sources.
Using Fuel-Flow Information With a Garmin Chartplotter or Marine Instrument
The Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument must be powered on to calculate remaining fuel based on the fuel-ow rate.
When using the GFS 10 to calculate remaining fuel based on the fuel-ow rate, you must specify the amount of fuel each time you
add fuel to the tank.
To specify the amount of fuel added:
1. While viewing the fuel page or fuel instrument screen on your NMEA 2000 device, select Menu.
2. Choose from the following options:
• Fill Up Tank—set the fuel level to the maximum capacity.
• Add Fuel to Boat—specify the amount of fuel added.
• Set Total Fuel Onboard—specify the amount of fuel currently available in the fuel tank or tanks.
Changing the Fuel Economy Source
The Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument requires a speed sensor, in addition to the GFS 10, to calculate fuel economy.
To change the fuel economy source:
1. While viewing the fuel page or fuel instrument screen on your NMEA 2000 device, select Menu > Fuel Economy Source.
2. Select either GPS Speed or Water Speed to specify which speed sensor is used to calculate fuel economy.
Using Fuel-Level Information With a Garmin Chartplotter or Marine Instrument
To receive fuel-level information, connect the wiring harness on the GFS 10 to the fuel gauge or fuel-level sensor of your boat according to the
GFS 10 Installation Instructions.
To calibrate fuel-level information from the GFS 10:
1. While in still water, on the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device that is connected to the fuel tank you want to
congure.
The serial number of each GFS 10 is shown on the NMEA 2000 device conguration screen to help differentiate among multiple GFS 10 devices.
2. Select Cong > Level Calibration > Add Calibration Point and enter a calibration point that corresponds to the current fuel level in that
fuel tank.
Entering more calibration points will provide a more-accurate reading. For example, entering ve calibration points (empty tank, 1/4 tank, 1/2
tank, 3/4 tank, and full tank) will provide a more-accurate reading than entering two calibration points (empty tank and full tank).
For a quick calibration, start with an empty tank, and enter calibration points as you ll up the tank.
To reset the fuel-level calibration:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device that is connected to the fuel tank you want to congure.
2. Select Cong > Level Calibration > Reset Calibration.
Technical Reference for Garmin NMEA 2000 Products 25
NMEA 2000-Certied Sensor Conguration Information
Conguring Engine and Tank Information
If you have a multi-engine or a multi-tank setup on your boat, specify which engine or tank is associated with each GFS 10.
The serial number of each GFS 10 is shown on the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu to help differentiate among multiple GFS 10 devices.
To congure tank and engine information for the GFS 10:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device you want to congure, and select Cong.
2. Select from the following options:
• Engine Number—for a multi-engine installation, assign the selected GFS 10 to a specic engine.
• Tank Number—for a multi-tank installation, assign the selected GFS 10 to a specic tank.
• Tank Capacity—dene the fuel capacity of the fuel tank that the selected GFS 10 is connected to.
Troubleshooting Fuel Gauge Type
When wired to a fuel gauge, the gauge type defaults to Auto Detect. If the fuel-level reading on your Garmin chartplotter or marine instrument
changes with the engine RPM, the GFS 10 could be detecting the wrong type of gauge.
The fuel level changes with the motion of the boat. Perform this test when the boat is not moving.
To test the gauge-type setting:
1. When the boat is not moving, put the engine in neutral.
2. Use the throttle to increase the engine RPM. If the fuel-level reading changes with the engine RPM, change the gauge type.
To change the gauge-type setting:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device.
2. Select Cong > Gauge Type.
3. Choose 1 Coil or 2 Coil and repeat the gauge-type setting test.
Troubleshooting the Fuel-Flow Reading
If the fuel-ow information received from the GFS 10 appears inaccurate, you can manually adjust the fuel-ow reading.
To adjust the fuel-ow reading:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 device conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device.
2. Select Cong > Flow Adjustment.
3. Enter a positive or negative adjustment.
For example, when you set the Flow Adjustment to +10% , a ow reading of 20 gal./hr. (75 L/h) would change to a reading of 22 gal./hr.
(82.5 L/h), because 20 gal. × 110% = 22 gal. (75 L × 110% = 82.5 L).
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You can restore factory default settings to the GFS 10. You will lose all custom conguration and calibration settings when you restore factory
default settings.
To restore factory default settings:
1. While viewing the NMEA 2000 conguration menu, select the GFS 10 device.
2. Select Cong > Factory Defaults.
