Qwerty-Elektronik 9244A NMEA 1N4 NMEA BUFFER L1N 9181A Log Pulse/NMEA Converter New 11:31

 The Qwerty-Elektronik 9244A and 9181A are specialized devices designed to solve two of the most common integration issues on boats: weak NMEA 0183 signals and the incompatibility between older mechanical instruments and modern digital chart plotters.

This combo allows you to create a robust, integrated network where your GPS, chart plotter, autopilot, radar, and wind instruments can all share data reliably. It’s the essential upgrade for any serious sailor or fisherman looking to enhance their vessel’s capability and safety.

Key Features & Benefits

For the Qwerty-Elektronik 9244A NMEA Buffer:

• Signal Amplification & Conditioning: Acts as a “booster” for long or weak NMEA 0183 data lines. It cleans up and strengthens the signal, ensuring data integrity over longer distances and preventing data loss.

  • Benefit: Eliminates intermittent or lost GPS/AIS data on your plotter. Essential for larger boats.

• Multiple Independent Outputs: Features one input and four fully isolated outputs (1N4). You can connect one GPS source to your Chart Plotter, AIS Transponder, Autopilot, and a backup instrument simultaneously without risk of signal cross-talk or interference.

  • Benefit: Maximum connectivity and system stability. Prevents one device from bringing down the entire network.

• Bi-Directional Capability (L1N): Can be used to combine or isolate data streams from different talkers, making it a versatile tool for complex network setups.

  • Benefit: Flexibility to solve unique wiring and data sharing challenges.

• Galvanic Isolation: Protects your sensitive electronics from potential ground loops and voltage spikes that can occur on a boat’s electrical system.

  • Benefit: Added protection for your expensive navigation equipment.

For the Qwerty-Elektronik 9181A Log Pulse to NMEA Converter:

• Bridge the Technology Gap: Converts analog speed/log signals (from a traditional paddlewheel impeller) into a standard NMEA 0183 data sentence.

  • Benefit: Allows your modern GPS/Chart Plotter to display accurate speed-through-water (STW) and total log distance from your old, reliable analog sensor.

• Plug-and-Play Installation: Designed for straightforward setup. Simply connect the pulse wires from your log and the device outputs clean NMEA data.

  • Benefit: Save money by reusing existing sensors instead of buying expensive new ones.

• Improved Navigation Data: Provides vital speed-through-water data to your plotter and other instruments, which is crucial for accurate current calculation and improved performance sailing.

  • Benefit: Make better navigational decisions with more complete data.
