Top award for Engine Monitoring Unit

Poole UK based marine electronics manufacturer Actisense won the Product of the Year award at the BMEA (British Marine Electronics Association)conference with its new EMU-1 Engine Monitoring Unit.

The Actisense EMU-1 is a specialised analogue to NMEA 2000 Gateway which converts data from analogue engine senders into NMEA 2000. It enables NMEA 2000 display devices to monitor the engine on a vessel.

The EMU-1 simplifies the digitisation of analogue engine parameters such as temperature, pressure and RPM into NMEA engine PGNs. Using various conversion settings, it provides the capability to measure a wide range of parameters, reporting how the engine is operating and sharing the information across the network.

A flexible PC based configuration tool allows the settings inside the EMU-1 to be changed to best suit the engine it is working with. It is not limited to only engine sensors, any other sensors on a boat can be converted, such as fuel tank levels and trim tabs.
