8. Conﬁrm the Baud Rate

If there is an accessory, such as an autopilot, connected to the Sensor pigtail cable

wires, you will need to confirm that the devices are communicating at the same

baud rate. The baud rate details are as follows:

• If the GPS Heading Sensor is connected to the control head, and NMEA

Output is turned on, the control head will operate exclusively at a baud rate

of 38400. If there is an accessory attached to the Sensor's pigtail, it also needs

to operate at 38400. See your accessory installation guide to set the baud rate

to 38400.

• If NMEA Output is turned off, then baud rates 4800, 9600, and 38400 are

available on the control head and no further action is required.
