QUICKSTART GUIDE: A2K-MPT-1
Installation Guide
This guide provides the most important information for the MPT-1 and its
installation.
Actisense recommends users visit the MPT-1 product page,
www.actisense.com/MPT-1, for the latest user manual, software and resources.
Installation Information
• The MPT-1 is designed to separately power two sections of an NMEA 2000 bus
for maximum device loading.
• The MPT-1 Ground wires should be connected together at the power source – if
a different power source is used for each side of the bus, the two grounds
must be connected together.
• The NMEA 2000 bus shield should only be grounded at a single location. This
needs to be the RF system ground if available or at the main -ve supply feed
location if not.
• Only one power source should be used with a standard NMEA 2000 network. If
additional power entry points are needed, isolated supplies with suitable
reverse current
protection must be used. The MPT-1 is not suitable for this type of
installation.
• Each Power wire must have an in-line fuse fitted – maximum 3A.
• The MPT-1 should be connected to an NMEA 2000 Micro cable backbone. Smaller
cable or lower current rated cable should have the correct in-line fuses
fitted.

Actisense prides itself on having a very low returns rate, giving every
