TracVision G6 Technical Manual
If the ADCU is receiving data from
a ship's gyro, all compass outputs
are automatically configured as
True North and cannot be set to
Magnetic.

Connecting External Devices to the ADCU (Optional)
GyroTrac can be integrated with many types of onboard
equipment, including autopilots, radars, plotters, global
positioning systems (GPS), and computers. All connections
between the ADCU and external devices are made at the
connector strips located on the rear of the ADCU. Follow these
guidelines when wiring additional equipment to the ADCU:
•
Make certain any additional equipment complies
with NMEA Standard 2.2.
•
Data conductor wire should be minimum 18 AWG
2
(0.75 mm
), twisted pair, stranded, tinned marine
cable.
•
Do not use cables with a wire diameter larger than
12 AWG (2.5 mm
ADCU connector plugs can accept.
•
Cables provided with optional KVH displays and
interface units are fully compatible with GyroTrac
requirements. Note that cables to other external
devices should follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• For power cable specifications, refer to Table 2-2
on page 10.
As noted in Figure 2-21, the output for Serial Ports 2 and 3 can
vary from 4800 baud to 9600 baud. This is determined
automatically based upon the selected output. Serial Port 1
provides 4800 baud output only.
When the TracVision G6 antenna is connected to the GyroTrac
system, GyroTrac Serial Port 3 will not be able to provide output
to other equipment. Serial Port 3 will only provide outputs if the
antenna unit is disconnected from the ADCU and GyroTrac is
configured to operate as a stand-alone system as described in
"Selecting TracVision or GyroTrac-only Operations" on page 76.
Connecting the Rotating Card Display (Optional)
Appendix D on page 131 provides instructions on properly wiring
the optional rotating card display to the GyroTrac system.
