Convert analogue gauges to NMEA 2000 with the Actisense EMU-1 Engine Monitoring Unit

- What’s the simplest way to keep track of analogue engine gauges on your NMEA 2000 network?
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 keeping track of vital engine parameters such as temperature, pressure RPM and fluid levels from up to two engines.

Getting a "page" on an MFD to show the data in graphic form is where the functionality gap persists. Yes the data is on the network but getting on a display (Suzuki C10 for instance) is difficult without the company (Suzuki) providing a "page" setup for the sender. Am I missing something?
Awesome
All sounds easy. I have twin Detroit 4-71TIs on my boat. So I can leave my analog gauges right where they are and just run secondary wire to your unit? I'm looking to be able to view all that information on my Raymarine Axiom 9.
Hi Ryan, that's correct, the EMU-1 can operate with the gauges left in circuit, the wires simply need to be tapped off the gauge. Diagrams explaining this are located within the EMU-1 user manual - actisense.com/acti_downloads/emu-1-user-manual/
hi, can you go from analogue to emu-1 to a lowrance device for complete digital monitoring of gauges, also do you still need the analogue gauges or can they be removes.

Will these work with Mercruiser 5LX V* alpha engines ?
Are you at the Southampton Boat show this week ?
Hi Ian, Our UK distributor - IMP - is exhibiting at Southampton Boat Show. They are located in Ocean Hall.
In order to determine if the Actisense EMU-1 is compatible, you need to find out what senders and gauges you have. Not the engine model / manufacturer.
This article describes this in more detail - actisense.com/knowledge-base/nmea-2000/emu-1-nmea-2000-engine-monitoring-unit/emu-1-engine-compatibility-and-setup/?fbclid=IwAR1_tNv4CRx98vIR-LusPNijPbb9tCsZX10HbgTSl4jl8b1X7dOLOJt-kPE
Awesome! Do you know if EMU1 will work with Yanmar 2YM15 with B20 control panel. I am concern about not to interfere with the B20 engine control unit. How does it work this device, does it take the resistance from the sensors or?

Do the analog gauges have to be connected between the outboard and the EMU? Or does it take the place of the analog gauges? I too have an Evinrude Ocean Pro 200
Hi Thomas, the EMU-1 can be connected with gauges still connected, or run without gauges and operate directly from sender. In the EMU-1 user manual, there are diagrams on how to connect the EMU-1 gauge inputs to the sender / gauge depending on which type you have - actisense.com/acti_downloads/emu-1-user-manual/.
please add trim! 0-180 ohm, or allow one of the gauges to be named trim, thanks!
Hi Alice, thank you for your feedback. We will take note of your request for future updates.
Okay guys it's time. I have twin V-504m Cummins diesel analog engines in my 1983 10 meter trojan international Express sportfish. I want to get it up to date to plug into the USB port on my Android phone or my laptop..do you have an updated video on the subject or contact info for tech support.
Hi, you can contact our tech support by emailing support@actisense.com
How much do these cost in usa? Also what else would I need to display this info on a screen? Thanks
Hi Cole, please contact our US distributor Gemeco for pricing - www.gemeco.com/
As for your other question, an NMEA 2000 MFD is required to display the engine data on your NMEA 2000 network. Most manufacturer’s displays are capable of displaying engine data, but it is always worth checking with them first.
If you are looking to display the data on a PC application, then an Actisense NGT-1-USB is used to transfer your NMEA 2000 data from the bus onto the PC. The NGT-1 is also required to configure and upgrade the EMU-1 anyway, so keeping it on the network is definitely a benefit.
I hope this helps!
I have a 2000 Johnson Ocean Pro and would like to use the gauges in my garmin SV. Can you help?
Hi, Due to the large amount of engines on the market, each with their own senders and gauges which are interchangeable, we do not configure the EMU-1 via an Engine Model or Manufacturer. Rather, we use sender/gauge pairings as our referencing for configuration. There is an article on our knowledge base which explains this in more detail - actisense.com/knowledge-base/nmea-2000/emu-1-nmea-2000-engine-monitoring-unit/emu-1-engine-compatibility-and-setup/.
Our technical support team are more than happy to help with your configuration and installation of our products, please contact support@actisense.com for further help.
Will this work with 1986 twin catapillar diesels, 3208 and their gauge s

If you can make the conversion from MTU engines M91 v16 serie 2000, let me know as have installed Garmin gpsmap8416series and could monitor through nmea200 or J1939, regards
Hi Goncalo, please get in contact with our technical support team by emailing them at support@actisense.com, and one of our engineers will talk you through it.
@@Actisense thanks , already did!
Is there a way to do the connection by Blue Tooth?
Currently, there is no upgrade / configuration method that uses Bluetooth. The EMU-1 is configured and upgraded via Actisense Toolkit which is a PC Application, and an Actisense NGT-1-USB which is an NMEA 2000 to PC interface device. Wireless configuration might be possible in the future, but we can’t provide any dates on this yet.
Hello, I have twin 4,3 mercruisers efi do I need one or two emu units
Hi, thank you for contacting us. Please can you raise a support ticket using the following link and a member of our Tech support team will get back to you as soon as possible. -> desk.zoho.eu/portal/actisense/en/newticket
Have twin 5.7 merc. efi's. Found Fox gateways which seem much simpler. fox-marine.com/
No programming required, just configuration via dip switches for twin setup. Roughly $600.00 USD for two gateways. Simply know the ECM type so you purchase the gateway with the correct engine data adaptor attached. Plug adaptor into engine data port, plug NMEA2000 wire into the gateway, stats display on your MFD that is also plugged into the NMEA2000 network. Even better, they have Bluetooth capability. Download the Fox Apple or Android App. The App displays all the data certified techs see with their engine data readers. With Bluetooth and a tablet you can diagnose issues and even clear codes from the App.
so this is the most generic one that would work on a 1990 Mercruiser?
Hi, thanks for your message. We work with sender/gauge compatibility, rather than with engine models. Please kindly raise a support ticket here: actisense.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/newticket and our tech support team will get back to you :)
I have simrad with 2003 honda motor is work nmea 2000
Can anyone try this out and give feedback? confirm circuit solver on the playstore!
