2.4 Connecting to Pathfinder Plus

You need to connect the GyroPlus 2 unit to the Pathfinder Plus using both
NMEA and SeaTalk:
• the SeaTalk connection allows the Pathfinder Plus unit to calibrate
the compass
• the NMEA connection provides the fast heading information for
MARPA and radar/chart overlay

SeaTalk connections

Use the supplied SeaTalk cable to connect the GyroPlus 2 unit to the
Pathfinder Plus unit:
insert the bare ends into the appropriate color-coded SeaTalk
•
terminals on the GyroPlus 2 unit
• secure the SeaTalk cable to the loops on the GyroPlus 2 unit with one
of the supplied cable ties
• insert the SeaTalk plug into the socket on the Pathfinder unit or into a
SeaTalk junction box already connected to the Pathfinder unit

NMEA connections

Use a suitable cable to connect the NMEA out terminals on the
GyroPlus 2 unit to the Pathfinder Plus unit's Power/NMEA cable.
Secure the NMEA cabling to the loops on the GyroPlus 2 unit with one of
the supplied cable ties.
