1. Fluxgate compass
2. NMEA compass
3. SeaTalk compass
This means that if you want to use a NMEA compass as the primary compass, you
need to disconnect the fluxgate compass.
To connect a SeaTalk or NMEA compass to the autopilot system:
•
NMEA compass
: connect it to a NMEA input on the computer
•
SeaTalk compass
: connect it to the SeaTalk bus or the SeaTalk terminals
1.8 How to connect NMEA equipment
If you have equipment on your boat that transmits or receives NMEA 0183 data
(e.g. GPS), you can connect this equipment to the SmartPilot. NMEA equipment
can be connected in any combination of these ways:
• using the SmartPilot computer NMEA input/output
• using the NMEA input on the back of the SmartPilot controller. (Refer to the
Controller handbook for NMEA data details)
• using the SeaTalk/NMEA interface (part number: E85001) to convert the
NMEA data to SeaTalk data
WARNING: Connections to other equipment
If you are connecting Raymarine equipment to other equipment
using a nonRaymarine cable, you MUST attach an appropriate
suppression ferrite to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.
