The Actisense NGW-1 NMEA 2000 Gateway is the easiest way to link between a boats old and new data networks. The NGW-1 can convert NMEA 0183 data into NMEA 2000 data and vice-versa.

The NGW-1 is available to purchase in a variety of options:

NGW-1-ISO is the standard option. With an opto-isolated input and ISO-Drive output for direct NMEA 0183 device bi-directional connection.
NGW-1-ISO-AIS is the NMEA 0183 AIS option that enables the conversion of NMEA 0183 AIS data to its equivalent in NMEA 2000. This provides an 'out of the box' solution for quick installation with no configuration required.
NGW-1-USB is the NMEA 0183 USB (1.1 and 2.0) interface for bi-directional connection to a PC for use with NMEA 0183 software.

Every option of the NGW-1 is compatible with the SeaTalkNG to NMEA 2000 Adaptor Cable - RM-A06045 or A06075. Be sure to add the SeaTalkNG to NMEA 2000® adaptor cable (RM-A06045 or RM-A06075) to your cart if you need SeaTalkNG support.

The Actisense NMEA Reader software utility allows the NGW-1 user to view and understand (in detail) the translated NMEA 0183 sentences output by an NGW-1 directly.

Q: If I have 3 0183 instruments and 1 2000 chart plotter, will each 0183 require a gateway ?

Asked by: George Kay - 4/14/2017

A: Yes, technically you would need three gateways. A better approach might be a multiplexer / gateway product such as ShipModul Miniplex-3Wi-N2K Multiplexer with WiFi, NMEA 2000 (http://www.milltechmarine.com/ShipModul-Miniplex-3Wi-N2K-Multiplexer-with-WiFi-NMEA-2000_p_386.html). It allows multiple NMEA 0183 devices to be interfaced and the combined sentences are converted to NMEA 2000 PGNs and passed to the NMEA 2000 network.

Q: Will actisense allow connection between raychart 600A and Raytheon R20/21XX NMEA 0183 (probably earliest version) with Garmin GPS19x NMEA2000 receiver?

Asked by: Joe Borrie - 12/23/2016

A: I am not familiar with these older Raymarine devices but if they expect standard NMEA 0183 GPS data, then this Actisense adapter should work fine to convert the Garmin 19x GPS PGNs to NMEA 0183 GPS sentences.

Q: I have a miniplex nmea 183 mux. I want to send it’s output of multiple devices through the Actisense gateway to convert to nmea 2k. Will that work.? What speed is supported?

Asked by: Deb Doyle - 3/10/2018

A: Yes, that should work fine. I'd probably use 38400 baud on the NMEA 0183 ports.

Q: I purchased this device, hooked it up and it works but speed is set for 4800 and I want to change to 38400. I see no access to do that. How can I accomplish?

Asked by: Deborah Doyle - 3/16/2018

A: Just follow the directions in the manual for connecting the NMEA 0183 side to an RS232 cable or serial/NMEA to USB cable and use the NMEA Reader program to set the baud rate.
