Actisense EMU-1 NMEA 2000® Engine Monitoring Unit

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) is required to configure the EMU-1.

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.
