PG700

[little-nellie]

I like to connect a PG700 to the MFD12, I assume I need to make up a CAN bus with a couple of NMEA2000 T connectors. Question, does the MFD12 provide DC power to the device or I will need to get a T that can connect to 12VDC? One of the photo of the PG700 shows direct and without additional 12VDC. Another shows it need 12vdc..

thanks

The MFD does not provide 12v to a normal NMEA 2000 bus. A normal NMEA 2000 bus will have a power tee providing power to the bus. The MFD12 will simply connect to a drop tee like any other NMEA 2000 device on the network.
