Actisense Engine Monitoring Unit, Analogue to NMEA 2000, standard configuration

The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialised analogue-to-NMEA 2000 gateway that digitises the output of traditional analogue engine gauges and senders, letting any NMEA 2000 display monitor the engines on a vessel. It reads a wide range of parameters and shares them across the network, so you can add modern engine monitoring without replacing existing analogue instrumentation.

Each EMU-1 provides six gauge inputs, four alarm inputs, two tacho inputs and two user-definable auxiliary inputs, and can monitor two engines that share a common ground where each has three or fewer gauges. The same inputs can instead read fluid levels in up to six tanks, with a configurable instance identifying each tank, and the built-in engine-hours log records running time from the tacho inputs into non-volatile memory. A PC-based configuration tool tailors the unit to the specific engine it is working with, giving a flexible solution across many makes and models.

Housed in a sealed polycarbonate case rated to IP66 with expanded silicone foam gaskets and a waterproof vent, the EMU-1 is fully NMEA 2000 certified, connects via an M12 male backbone connector and mounts to a bulkhead, with an optional DIN rail kit available.
