Turn on NMEA 2000 network

If you’re setting up engine or generator activity, also make sure the device you want monitored is turned on.

  1. Open the BRNKL Device Manager, select Settings img settings icon.svg

  2. From the Devices menu find and select NMEA 2000.

  3. Scan the network.


  4. In the Available Paths list:

Go to the corresponding source (SRC) and parameter group (PGN), then find the data field for the activity you want to set up.
