12 GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Installation Instructions
The NMEA 0183 data cable included with the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter supports the NMEA 0183 standard, which is used to wire
various NMEA 0183-compliant devices, such as VHF radios, NMEA instruments, autopilots, or a computer.
These diagrams illustrate basic NMEA 0183 wiring used to connect your GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter to NMEA 0183-compliant
devices such as an AIS or DSC device. For more-complete information on the NMEA 0183 capabilities of the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series
chartplotter, see the “Advanced NMEA 0183 Wiring” section (page 13).

NMEA 0183-compliant
device
• If the NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one receiving wire (no A, B, +, or -), leave the wire unconnected.
• If the NMEA 0183-compliant device has only one transmitting wire (no A, B, +, or -), connect the wire to ground.
• Consult the installation instructions of your NMEA 0183-compliant device to identify the Transmit A(+) and B(-) wires and Receive A(+)
and B(-) wires.
• Use 28 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of wire.
• Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing.
