Chapter 5: Installing the ST7001+
We supply the ST7001+ with a 9 m (29 ft 6 in) SeaTalk cable as
standard. Depending on your installation, you may need to obtain
alternative or additional SeaTalk cables (as shown in the following
illustration).
5.4 NMEA connections
The ST7001+ has a set of NMEA inputs so it can receive data in
NMEA 0183 format from navigation or wind instruments. It can use
this data to operate in Track or Wind Vane modes.
Note: If your ST7001+ control unit is part of a course computer
system, you can connect additional NMEA equipment to other parts
of the system. To decode the maximum amount of NMEA data (so it
can be transmitted onto SeaTalk), connect the navigator to the course
computer NMEA terminals. Refer to the Autopilot System Installation
Guide for more information.
