NMEA 2000 Remote Control and Display
The stereo can be controlled by compatible Fusion wired remote controls installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel. Operating the entertainment system from the remote control is similar to operating it from the main stereo. Fusion wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 network, so wiring the remote controls directly to the stereo is not necessary. All remote controls connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can control the stereo. The Fusion wired remote control can also serve as an NMEA® display showing NMEA navigation data or vessel performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network. See the instructions provided with your remote control for information on supported NMEA 2000 PGN information.
NMEA 2000 Information
NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within vessels. It has become the standard for sending navigation and engine management data within vessels. Fusion introduces an industryfirst product by incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of NMEA sentences available over the NMEA 2000 network on a connected remote control.
