Marine Electronics Products

Inside view of one of our current products showing a high quality PCB with state of the art surface mount microcontroller equipped with flash upgradeable memory. All our products are designed and built in house for complete quality control.

Digital Loadcell Amplifier

The Digital Loadcell Amplifier converts standard load cells or load pins into RS232, NMEA 0183, CANbus, (NMEA 2000 ready), or 0-5V analogue data. It also has a trip relay for use as an alarm output or limit switch. The DLA1 can be connected directly to our Stowe Dataline GX display and Loadpin to work as a standalone system, with user friendly calibration and alarm settings carried out entirely from the display buttons. Alternatively the DLA1 can also be calibrated from a PC connected via RS232 or via a push button and adjustment inside the top cover. The DLA1 has two RS232/NMEA inputs and can be programmed to multiplex these inputs to combine data with the measured load before re-transmitting it via any one of the outputs. The DLA1 offers fantastic accuracy, stability and noise immunity.

NMEA Old2New V1.5 to V3 Converter

Further Details

The Old2New converts NMEA 0183 V1.5 to NMEA 0183 V3. It can also 'multiplex' 2 NMEA inputs into 1 NMEA output with an additional USB connection for a PC, allowing any navigation software to receive and transmit fully Opto-Isolated NMEA. Additionally, user selectable filters can be set to filter in or out any combination of NMEA sentences independently from either input. Use standalone 2 into 1 NMEA or connect to a PC to automatically provide 2 NMEA into USB and USB back to NMEA. No additional power supply is required when connected to USB. Drivers for Windows Vista, XP, NT, 2000, and 98. Flash upgradeable by end user. Custom software service available.

Paddlewheel to B&G Underwater Unit Converter

Specifications

Converts new style paddlewheel boat speed sensor signals to old style B&G UWU signals. NMEA output also available as an option, providing a standalone unit with built in calibration and NMEA output to interface to, for instance, a PC or chartplotter.

Retail price £165.00 (Hornet 4, Harrier 6 or Hercules 290/390), £215.00 (Any B&G, also has NMEA out).

Analogue input, NMEA 0183, 2 x NMEA 2000 compatible, SimNet, SeaTalk 2 or CANbus bridge

We have hardware ready for programming that can convert any 3 analogue signals into NMEA or CAN BUS. This hardware has two separate CAN buses, so it has also been used as a gateway device to seamlessly 'merge' missing data into existing PGN's. For instance, some engine manufactures such as Yanmar do not include Oil Pressure or Tilt/Trim in the standard PGN, so this device can happily add it so that the receiving instruments believe the information originated from the engine.

NMEA-USB Multiplexer/filter

Further Details

The USB Merge Computer merges and filters 2 NMEA inputs into 1 NMEA output with an additional USB connection for a PC, allowing any navigation software to receive and transmit fully Opto-Isolated NMEA. Additionally, user selectable filters can be set to filter in or out any combination of NMEA sentences independently from either input. Use standalone 2 into 1 NMEA or connect to a PC to automatically provide 2 NMEA into USB and USB back to NMEA. No additional power supply is required when connected to USB. NMEA 0183-HS 38.4 K Baud can be selected on Input 1 and Output whilst still merging standard low speed NMEA through Input 2. This enables the unit to combine ATIS and GPS signals for instance. Drivers for Windows Vista, XP, NT, 2000, and 98. Flash upgradeable by end user. Custom software service available.

Rudder Angle Indicator with NMEA output

Specifications

This unit can be connected directly to a rudder reference potentiometer, sharing it with an autopilot if necessary, giving a very accurate rudder angle meter with a very fast response! Calibration can now be performed to give absolute position of rudder in degrees or indicate rudder end stops at the meter full scale. Custom scaled meters are also available making this product truly versatile. NMEA output also available.

Retail price £245.00

NMEA to 213 Mast Head Unit converter

Specifications

Converts NMEA into the analogue signals required by a B&G Hydra system.

Retail price £245.00

B&G Hornet 4 to NMEA

Specifications

Connect your B&G Hornet 4 to a computer or chart plotter, etc., using NMEA and/or USB.

Retail price £245.00

NMEA to B&G Analogue converter

Now you can add a B&G analogue meter to any instrument or computer that can output NMEA 0183, whatever the manufacturer! Slowly update your system to B&G by fitting their fantastic displays to your existing system! This unit also offers a cost-effective solution for connecting a fifth analogue to a B&G Hydra system via NMEA!

Retail price £245.00

Old B&G Analogue to current B&G Analogue (Synchro, SimNet or NMEA 2000 compatible) converter

Units available to convert any 2mA or 200uA B&G Hengist/Hornet signals to the latest B&G Synchro analogues. An NMEA output is also made available.

Retail price £245.00

Custom input to B&G Analogue (Synchro, SimNet or NMEA 2000 compatible) converter

Do you have a different standard you wish to interface to a B&G analogue? We can provide a solution, with faster baud rates for serial communication, or different inputs for analogue signals.
