® 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron USB100 NMEA 2000® / NMEA 0183 Gateway. Maretron has designed and built your gateway to the highest standards for years of dependable and accurate service. Maretron’s USB100 is a gateway for bridging USB equipment using NMEA 0183 sentences – such as an on-board computer running navigational software – with an NMEA 2000® network.
USB100 User’s Manual 2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking the Box When unpacking the box containing the Maretron USB100, you should find the following items: 1 – USB100 NMEA 2000® to NMEA 0183 Gateway 4 – Mounting Screws 1 – USB100 Driver / Support Software CD 1 – USB100 User’s Manual 1 – Warranty Registration Card If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron. 2.
® The next screen gives you the opportunity to specify the installation directory for the GWUtilities program. The default selection should be acceptable for most installations. If desired, select a different installation directory. Finally, click the button marked “Next” to continue the installation process. The next screen allows you the opportunity to change the name of the Start Menu folder into which program shortcuts are installed.
USB100 User’s Manual The following screen allows you the opportunity to create an icon for the GWUtilities program on your desktop or in the Quick Launch bar. If you wish, select one or both of these options. Then, click the button marked “Next” to continue. Now, a screen appears allowing you to confirm the installation options you have selected and initiate the installation process. If you wish to change any of these options, click the button marked “Back”.
® You will now see status screens that indicate the progress of the installation. After the installation is complete, a screen appears which indicates successful completion of the installation. Click the “Finish” button to complete the installation process. 2.3 Choosing a Mounting Location The USB100 can be mounted in any location and in any orientation; however, the mounting location should be close to the location of the computer.
USB100 User’s Manual 2.4 Mounting the USB100 Attach the USB100 securely to the vessel using the included brass mounting screws or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1 below. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure. Figure 1 – Mounting the USB100 2.
® Figure 2 – USB100 Interface Connector The NMEA 2000® connector is a five pin male connector (see Figure 3). You connect the USB100 to an NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the USB100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly.
USB100 User’s Manual Figure 3 – NMEA 2000® Connector Face Views 2.5.1 Checking Connections Once the NMEA 2000® and USB connections to the Maretron USB100 have been completed, check to see that information is being properly transmitted by observing that your computer software is receiving NMEA 0183 sentences via the USB port. Refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting”, if no information appears. 2.
