NMEA 2000 adapter for GET™ 10 engine tilt sensor

The Garmin GET™ 10 adapter is designed to convert the analog data from your boat's existing engine tilt sensors into a digital NMEA 2000 format. This allows you to display engine tilt information on compatible Garmin displays, such as the GMI™ 10 and GMI™ 20 marine instruments, or various GPSMAP chartplotters.

The GET™ 10 adapter has compact dimensions of 24.7 mm (width) x 17.0 mm (height) x 78.6 mm (length).

The Garmin GET™ 10 adapter weighs 365 grams (12.85 oz).

Yes, the GET™ 10 adapter is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7 standards. This means it can be submerged to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. However, it is not recommended to install it in a location where it would be regularly submerged.

The GET™ 10 adapter operates within a temperature range of -15°C to 70°C (5°F to 158°F).

The GET™ 10 adapter is powered by the NMEA 2000 bus, requiring a power supply of 9 to 16 Vdc. Its maximum power consumption is 1 W, and its Load Equivalency Number (LEN) is 2 (100 mA).

The GET™ 10 adapter is compatible with Garmin display devices connected to your NMEA 2000 network, such as the GMI™ 10 and GMI™ 20 marine instruments, as well as various compatible GPSMAP chartplotters.

The GET™ 10 adapter can connect either directly to an existing analog gauge or directly to the engine tilt sensor, depending on your boat's configuration.

The GET™ 10 adapter can be wired to work with various types of sensors, including analog gauges, resistive sensors, and generic voltage sensors (0-5 Vdc).

The GET™ 10 adapter package includes the adapter itself and a NMEA 2000 T-connector to facilitate integration into the network.

When selecting the mounting location, consider the following points:

It must be within 4.4 meters (173 inches) of the analog gauge or engine tilt sensor. It must be located between the NMEA 2000 network and the gauge/sensor. Although waterproof, avoid locations regularly submerged. Install it at least 5 cm (2 inches) away from a magnetic compass to prevent interference.

For installation of the GET™ 10 adapter, you will need:

Heat-shrink tubing and heat gun. Cable ties (not included). Additional NMEA 2000 cabling and connectors (optional, if required to extend the network). Screws (not included) if you mount the adapter to a bulkhead.

To wire the GET™ 10 adapter to an analog gauge, connect the wires as follows:

Blue wire from the adapter to the "Sensor" terminal (S, G) of the gauge.
White wire from the adapter to the "Power" terminal (+, +12V, I, IGN) of the gauge.
Black wire from the adapter to the "Ground" terminal (-, G) of the gauge.
The yellow and red wires from the adapter remain unused.
After connection, cover all exposed wires with heat-shrink tubing.

To connect the GET™ 10 adapter to your NMEA 2000 network:

Determine where to connect it to your existing NMEA 2000 backbone. Use the supplied NMEA 2000 T-connector by adding it to the backbone. Connect the adapter’s NMEA 2000 connector to the T-connector. If the adapter cannot connect directly, use an NMEA 2000 drop cable (not included) with a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet). Ensure only one NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to your existing network.

Yes, to use the GET™ 10 adapter, you must calibrate the engine tilt to which the adapter is connected. This calibration is performed via a compatible Garmin display device connected to the NMEA 2000 network, following on-screen instructions for maximum and minimum tilt positions.

If your boat has multiple engines, you can associate each GET™ 10 adapter to a specific engine. This is done via the NMEA 2000 configuration menu of your compatible Garmin display unit. Select the GET™ 10 adapter in the NMEA 2000 device list, then choose the "Engine Number" option to assign the appropriate number.

If the engine tilt reading changes with engine RPM, the GET™ 10 adapter might detect an incorrect gauge type. You can test and modify the gauge type via the configuration settings of your Garmin display device. Options include "Auto Detect", "1 Coil", or "2 Coil".

The GET™ 10 adapter comes with a total cable length of 4.9 meters (16 feet).

Yes, the GET™ 10 adapter is designed to integrate into existing NMEA 2000 networks and complies with NMEA 2000 standards. It converts analog signals into a standard NMEA 2000 digital format, making it compatible with any NMEA 2000-compliant device.

When drilling, cutting, or sanding, always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask. Always check the opposite side of the drilling or cutting surface to avoid damaging hidden components. Never remove any wires from the back of the gauge when wiring and cover exposed wires with heat-shrink tubing.
