Ship Gyro Connection
Connecting the System with a Ship’s Gyrocompass
For satellite tracking, you must connect a ship’s Gyro to the antenna system through
the gyro interface on the rear of the ACU. Intellian’s ACU supports NMEA 0183 and
NMEA 2000 gyro types. If the ship’s gyrocompass output uses something different
than a NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000, a separate purchase of a gyro converter is
required.
• NMEA 0183 Gyro Compass Interface Cable (Customer Supplied)
• Type: 2 conductors for NMEA 0183
• NMEA heading sentence: xx HDT (4800 Baud, 8, N,1)
If there is no HDT sentence then use HDM sentence instead.
• NMEA 2000 heading PGN Number = 127250 (Vessel Heading)
Strip the cable for 5 mm (0.2")
Do not solder the cable
