The ASC-6 converts the signals from analogue resistance senders into NMEA 2000 data, so traditional senders can feed a modern NMEA 2000 network. It sits between your senders and the backbone.

It has six analogue inputs — five programmable channels plus one dedicated tachometer channel — so you can bring up to six sensors onto the network from a single unit. It works with Wema resistance senders.

Supported inputs and ranges:

• Tachometer (dedicated channel)
• Fuel tank — 0-190, 10-180 or 240-30 ohm (or user-defined)
• Water tank — 0-190, 10-180 or 240-30 ohm (or user-defined)
• Holding tank — 0-190, 10-180 or 240-30 ohm (or user-defined)
• Engine temperature — 0-120°C
• Oil temperature — 0-150°C
• Oil pressure — 0-5 or 0-10 bar
• Turbo pressure — 0-2 bar
• Rudder angle
• Trim angle

We pre-configure each channel's tank type and instance before shipping, and the buttons on the unit let you change type and instance yourself at any time. The type tells the network what a channel is (fuel, water, and so on); the instance numbers multiples of the same type — for example a port fuel tank as instance 0 and starboard as instance 1. There's a full explanation in type and instance settings for an NMEA 2000 network →.
