Check the SeaTalk and NMEA connections
SeaTalk connections
If you have connected the SmartPilot controller to other SeaTalk instruments or controllers,
check the links as follows:
1. Select display lighting level 3 (LAMP 3) on one of the other SeaTalk instruments or control-
lers.
2. The SmartPilot should immediately switch on its display lighting. If the lighting does not
switch on, check the SeaTalk cabling between the SmartPilot and the other units.
NMEA navigator connections
If you have connected the SmartPilot to a NMEA navigator, check the links by displaying the
default navigation data pages on the SmartPilot controller:
• press
disp to display the first data page (XTE), and check that this page shows the
expected data.
• press disp again to check each successive data page (BTW/DTW)
If the display shows dashes instead of data values, check for the following:
• the navigator is not switched on or not transmitting an active waypoint
• a cabling error. Check for open circuit, short circuit or reversed wires
• the navigator is not configured to transmit the required data format
