CE Certification:
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by relocating the equipment or connecting
the equipment to a different circuit. Consult an authorised dealer or other qualified technician for additional help
if these remedies do not correct the problem.
This device meets requirements for CFR47 Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B equipment.
The h1000 meets the standards set out in European Standard EN 60945: 1997 IEC 945: 1996 for maritime
navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems.

system connections
connections
System components share data together via a common Fastnet2
databus and are supplied with bayonet connectors for ease of
installation. A selection of cable lengths are available with options for
straight and right angle connectors to suit most requirements.
To prevent the occurrence of voltage drops on larger systems, the
power supply to the system should either be placed mid-way or at both
ends of the Fastnet2databus. To connect power to the mid-point of the
system, it is recommended that the 4-Way Hub be used. The 4-Way
Hub offers two advantages. The first advantage is that it offers a
convenient entry point for power onto the system. The second
advantage is that it conveniently allows the system to be branched to
reduce the overall length of the system. The correct selection of
Fastnet2cable will negate the need for any plugs to be removed from
the system and ensure years of faultless operation.
NMEA interface
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) is an organisation that has defined a number of standard
specifications for the interconnection of marine electronic instruments. These standards specify the electrical
signals and the format of the data that is transferred. This allows equipment such as the h1000 to communicate
with other manufacturers’ equipment.
The Universal Interface is an NMEA interface specifically designed to allow the h1000 system to “talk” with other
manufacturers’ equipment. The most likely devices that will be connected to the Universal Interface are position
fixers such as GPS’s and Chart Plotters. The connection of navigational data to the h1000 Instrument allows this
data to be displayed on the system and creates new calculated functions such as tide rate and direction.
The Universal Interface has one NMEA Input Port (receive) and one NMEA Output Port (transmit) and is
designed to comply with the latest NMEA 0183 standards. The Universal Interface also contains the connections
for an external alarm output. The individual NMEA sentences may be ‘Enabled’* or ‘Disabled’* as required from
the ‘Remote unit setup’ options in the ‘System’ menu of any h1000 Digital display connected to the system.

selectable NMEA
The Selectable NMEA feature allows control over which sentences are received and transmitted by the h1000
Universal Interface. This gives flexibility when interfacing to other manufacturers’ products such as radars and
chart-plotters. Selectable NMEA allows you to filter out unwanted NMEA messages and prevents duplicated data
on the system.

Configuring Selectable NMEA
Identify the Universal Interface Box you wish to configure, this is identified by the first three digits of the serial
number found on the printed label located inside the lid of the interface box. Select the chosen box from the list
displayed, select either NMEA I n or NM EA Out. The options available are detailed as follows:
Selecting NMEA Input sentences – ‘Current Input’ - Press ENT ER to s elect, press ENT ER again and scroll
through the listed sentences, press ENT ER to view the options. Press ENT ER and scroll to either On or Off,
press EN T ER to make your selection. Scroll to OK to return to the listed sentences. Repeat the operation until
you have made all your selections.
Selecting NMEA Output sentences – ‘Current Output’ - Follow the same procedure as detailed above.
Renaming the interface box – ‘Name’ - Press ENT ER to re-name the interface box (if required), use the
UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the number or letter required (maximum 10 characters), once you have
completed your name change scroll to, and highlight OK, press ENTER to return to the Remote units screen.
