The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialized analogue to NMEA 2000 Gateway which converts data from analogue engine gauges/senders into NMEA 2000 data. The EMU-1 enables the sharing of engine data throughout the NMEA 2000 bus. It digitises analogue engine sensors, enabling NMEA 2000 display devices to monitor the connected engine(s) on a vessel.
The EMU-1 can monitor vital engine parameters such as temperature, pressure RPM and fluid levels from up to two engines.

Engine Monitoring Unit, Analogue to NMEA 2000
Out of stock
Find Local StockistConvert analogue engine gauges and senders into NMEA 2000 data, so older engines can be monitored on modern MFDs without replacing them.
A single EMU-1 handles up to two engines, with 6 gauge inputs, 4 alarm inputs and 2 tacho inputs, and now supports tilt and trim.
It runs on 12V and 24V systems and is fully NMEA 2000 certified.
It must be configured with an Actisense NGX-1.

The EMU-1 has a PC-based configuration tool that allows the settings inside the EMU-1 to be changed to best suit the engine it is working with, making it a flexible solution for many engine makes and models.
An Actisense PC to NMEA 2000 Gateway (NGX-1/NGT-1) is required to configure the EMU-1.
The NGX-1 or NGT-1 must be used to update the firmware, connect the Toolkit and display data on a PC for diagnostic and information purposes, using NMEA Reader. Please visit the NGX-1 page and/or NGT-1 page for product details.

CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
Every EMU-1 MUST be configured to work with each installation. Please visit the downloads page to download the Actisense toolkit.
The digitising of analogue data is something we see more and more of as the marine environment progresses. With the release of engines that are NMEA 2000 harnessed already, the use of NMEA 2000 systems and MFD’s increased. Of course, if the vessel has existing analogue engines that aren’t digital harness capable, there needs to be a solution.
The expensive solution is to remove the engines are replace them with newer digital ready engines… which isn’t exactly cost effective. The budget sensitive solution is to use the EMU-1 for analogue to digital conversion.
A prime example of this is a typical set-up of a duel diesel engine that’s purely analogue, and the owner has an NMEA 2000 network with GPS, AIS, MFD etc… The MFD is capable of displaying various engine parameters such as temp, oil pressure, RPM, tilt/trim, transmission position, fuel level and the owner wants this info from his engines.
The EMU-1 is ideal for this scenario. The device is connected to existing sender/gauges and receives the analogue signals. Once the device is configured for the required parameters the user wants to monitor, the analogue signals are converted to NMEA 2000 data, which is then output in various PGNs.
With 6 gauge inputs, 4 alarm and 2 tach inputs, the EMU-1 is capable of supporting 2 engines with one device (although this is limited by the number of inputs). However for those who want to monitor just a couple of parameters from each engine in a very cost friendly method, the EMU-1 is perfect. Alternatively, for those who need to monitor more parameters from each engine, then 2 EMU-1s (one on each engine) can be installed.
