NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations

You can connect the remote control to the stereo using an existing NMEA 2000® network.

  • You can connect three or more MS-NRX50 remote controls to one Fusion® stereo.

  • You can connect to a Fusion stereo that cannot provide power to the remote.

  • You can control a connected Fusion stereo from a FUSION-Link™ compatible chartplotter.

NOTE: The NMEA 2000 network may include other NMEA 2000 devices.
