SeaTalkng ® power switch (ACU-200, ACU-300, ACU-400 only)
The ACU-200, ACU-300, ACU-400 can provide power to the SeaTalkng ® backbone. This will
provide power to certain equipment connected to the backbone (e.g. SeaTalkng ® autopilot control
head and instrument displays).
Set the SeaTalkng ® power switch on the connector panel to the appropriate position:
• ON — The ACU-200, ACU-300, ACU-400 will supply power to the SeaTalkng ® backbone.
Important Ensure that there are no other power feeds connected into the backbone.
• OFF — The ACU-200, ACU-300, ACU-400 will NOT supply power to the SeaTalkng ® backbone.
Ensure that there is a separate power feed to the SeaTalkng ® backbone.
Important:
Use correct fuse. The fuse supplying the SeaTalkng ® system MUST be rated as per the value
shown on the ACU connector panel.
Sleep switch connection — ACU-200, ACU-300, ACU-400
A Sleep switch disables the operation of the autopilot while retaining any power supplied to the
SeaTalkng ® backbone.
The switch and associated cable are not supplied with the Evolution system. Contact your dealer or
drive manufacturer for more information.
Rudder angle reference sensor connection
A rudder angle reference sensor / transducer can be connected to the ACU to provide rudder angle
information to the autopilot system.
The connection of a rudder angle reference sensor / transducer is highly recommended, to help
ensure optimum autopilot performance.
Note: The rudder angle reference sensor / transducer is not included with all autopilot products or
system packs. Consult the Raymarine website or your local dealer for a full list of the components
included with your autopilot system. The rudder angle reference sensor / transducer is also
available separately as M81105.
A rudder angle reference sensor / transducer converts its movement information to rudder angle
in +/- degrees.
