the SeaTalk system.
The interface converts:
•
NMEA data from the equipment into SeaTalk data
•
SeaTalk data from the SeaTalk system into NMEA data
Connect:
•
the NMEA equipment to the SeaTalk/NMEA interface
•
the SeaTalk/NMEA interface to:
•
one of the course computer SeaTalk terminals
•
or, any other SeaTalk product (using one of the available
interface cables)
Connecting several items of NMEA equipment
If you need to connect several NMEA items to the course computer,
you will need to use an appropriate combination of:
•
course computer NMEA inputs and outputs
•
control unit NMEA inputs
•
SeaTalk/NMEA interface (part number: E85001)
