1. Introduction
The Watcheye wifi Wave allows data to be
exchanged between AIS (and other
equipment) and wireless peripheral
equipment such as smartphones, tablets and
PCs.
The Watcheye wifi Wave is compatible with
all NMEA 0183 devices and with all iOS and
Android apps which allow NMEA 0183 data
input.

2. NMEA input and output
The Watcheye wifi Wave features an NMEA 0183 input to receive AIS data and
an NMEA 0183 wired output (besides the wifi output).
It also identifies the sentences coming from any other NMEA 0183 source.
An auto baud rate detection algorithm allows reception of AIS and NMEA data
at 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400 baud. The baud rate is saved in the memory
once 10 correct NMEA sentences have been received.
The device also has a multiplex function, combining all data to send them over
the wifi link and the NMEA 0183 wired output.

3. Status indicators
The status indicators show the operational
status of the Wave.
A green LED stands for a correct status. A red
LED stands for incorrect status. No LED indicates
there’s no connection.

4. Installation
Wire colour codes:
Braid -12V/ground
Red +12V
Blue NMEA 0183 + input 38.400 baud (AIS)
Yellow NMEA 0183 + input with auto baud rate
of 4800, 9600, 19.200 or 38.400 baud
Green NMEA 0183 + output 38.400 baud (AIS)
White NMEA 0183 + output
If the Wave is installed to transmit data from your Watcheye AIS device
(transponder or receiver) connect the AIS’ brown wire to the Wave blue wire.
If the AIS also multiplexes other equipment, disconnect the wire (output +) from
this equipment and connect it directly to the Wave yellow wire.
