MD36-8

The MD36/8 is a solid-state digital NMEA to STEP (Analogue S-Type) Interface, for applications where there is a need for low power retransmission of digital NMEA heading data to legacy STEP equipment. Designed as a converter of NMEA 0183 (IEC61162-1) compliant digital transmission, to a DC STEP (S-Type) transmission at 24 V, 35 V or 50 V dc to within 1/6° with no errors.

Supplied for bulkhead mounting as standard, the MD36/8 offers a compact NMEA to STEP (S-Type) Interface solution for locations where available space is limited.

Constructed in a robust die-cast aluminium enclosure and finished in RAL9005 Jet Black fine texture powder coat paint, the MD36/8 is designed to complement existing marine navigation equipment. The MD36/8(S-Type) STEP to NMEA Interface from Marine Data, easy to install and simple to maintain.

Applications: The MD36/8 is suitable for converting from digital NMEA 0183 (IEC61162-1) transmission format to any STEP (S-Type) transmission format. Useful for retro fitting legacy systems with modern equipment requiring a digital transmission of ships heading. The MD36/8 forms an integral part of Marine Data Heading Repeaters supplied for use with STEP (S-Type) transmission systems.

Key Feature:

• Converts Digital NMEA 0183 to Legacy Step (S-Type)
• Allows a NMEA system to connect to Legacy Equipment
• 3 Line Step Output
