Connecting to a Simrad XX32/XX40/XX50 series GPS
Plotter

NMEA out
This will provide the chart plotter also with wind information if
the Wind/Tack instruments are part of the IS15 system, see
Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5. (Connect the chart plotter input to the
optional instrument in Figure 5-4).
NMEA in
This will provide position and navigation data to the instrument
system.

Figure 5-11  Simrad XX32/XX40/XX50 series connection

Note ! 

Even if the NMEA input is automatically polarized on the IS15

instruments, it may be necessary to interchange the wires from
XX32/40/50 series if depth sounding problems are observed in models
that contain a depth sounder.

5.6   Wind Transducer connection

The Wind Transducer should be connected to the IS15
Transceiver if there is one in the system.
1.

 

Cut the masthead cable to an appropriate length and
connect the wires to the terminal as shown. Only the red
and black wires are active in the system.
