The following is an excerpt from the documentation:


· Testing of NMEA parameter values and setting or clearing of
externally available control signals. The control signals can be used

for
warning lights, alarm buzzers or to drive relays to switch lights or
equipment on/off. There are 4 signals available. NMEA parameter

Signals can be turned on or


off if the condition is "true".

If your Raymarine plotter is a C-series or E-series, you may want to

have
a
look at this:http://brookhouseonline.com/pdf%20files/Mux_AIS_C.pdf

Does anyone have a commercial solution for getting an alram out of

the
raymaine chartplotters that can actually be heard. I know they sell
the seatlk to nema converter for this purpose, but I am told this

will
not sound an alrm for anchor dragging. I bought the shipmodul
multiplxer but unfortunately this does not have switched outputs. Is
there a nema alarm sentence from the raymarine char plotter?


Bob


How do I access the 4 signals, I thought it only had RS-232 for the
output/


No, Brookhouse mux outputs are RS232, RS422, 2nd RS422 @4800
(speedconversion of AIS-C and AIS models), USB (optional). If the

control
signal option is ordered, a separate 10" multi-core cable is brought out

the
mux enclosure with a led already connected to output 1 for practicing

the
*C
directive. It is intended for the more technically oriented.

Thanks a lot for the information.

Unfortunately I ordered mine from Captn Jack's, I didn't know about
the signal option. Any chance I could solder those wires on myself?

Bob

Are you sure you have a Brookhouse multiplexer? You started this thread
saying you had a Miniplex.

What I have is shown at the link below:

That's clearly not a Brookhouse mux.
I've given you the links for Brookhouse.
The standard Brookhouse mux is $149.00
The control signal option is $25.00
If you need BT, a simple 4800bps plug-in module is available for $45.00. For
BT with many configurable options and baudrates, use an AIRCABLE module for
$69.00 (order direct from aircable).
