9.2 Connecting NMEA equipment

If you have equipment on your boat that transmits NMEA 0183 data
(e.g. GPS), you can connect this equipment to the autopilot system.
You can connect the NMEA equipment in any combination of these
ways:
•
•
•
WARNING: Connections to other equipment
If you are connecting Raymarine equipment to other equipment
using a non-Raymarine cable, you MUST attach an appropriate
suppression ferrite to the cable near to the Raymarine unit.

Course computer NMEA inputs/outputs

Note: Do NOT connect more than one piece of equipment to each of
the course computer NMEA inputs.
The course computer has two sets of NMEA inputs/outputs to receive
and transmit information from NMEA equipment. The course
computer decodes and transmits the following NMEA data:
