CI300X Analogue Interface Unit
The CI300X analogue interface unit is an optional module,
designed to enable a variety of different equipment to connect
into AP20 systems. The CI300X converts the analogue inputs
into Robnet compatible signals for use by AP20 system
components. The CI300X adds the following capabilities to the
AP20 system, and allows connection of each of the following
simultaneously:
•
Magnetic compass connection with CD100A course detector.
•
Gyrocompass connection for Simrad RGC50, RGC10
•
Analogue input of SIN/COS for either one of the following:
– Fluxgate compass connection (for other manufacturers
SIN/COS fluxgate compasses)
– Analogue windvane (SIN/COS)
For detailed information, see separate CI300X Manual
Note !
If an analogue wind vane is connected to the system via CI300X,
the Interface setup must be set accordingly (see page 94).
Furthermore a calibration must be performed. Access to the
calibration display is automatic and follows the compass
calibration (see page 97). The calibration procedure is similar
to the compass calibration, but will normally take 3 full turns.
