Chapter 1: System Connections

External alarm

The SmartPilot sounds all critical alarms from all controllers. On large or noisy
boats you can fit a Raymarine external alarm (part number: Z035, connected
through E85001 interface box) as a high volume audible repeater.

Wind vane (sail boats)

The SmartPilot computer can use wind angle information from a wind vane or
instrument to maintain a course relative to the wind. You can provide wind angle
information to the autopilot system by connecting it to a suitable SeaTalk or
NMEA instrument (providing wind angle and speed information)

Off switch (S2 and S3 only)

The SmartPilot computer has inputs so you can fit an off switch if required. By
closing a circuit, this switch will turn off the computer power supply.
Connect a suitable off switch to the OFF SWITCH inputs on the computer.
