Appendix: Connecting to Autopilots
Appendix:
The information in this Appendix explains how to connect the
GyroPlus 2 unit to the following Raymarine autopilot systems:
•
connecting to T150 or T400 course computers (Section A.1)
•
integrating with other Raymarine autopilots (Section A.2)
•
•
A.1 Connecting to T150 or T400 course computers
Connecting the GyroPlus 2 unit to a T150/T400 upgrades the course
computer so it has the same functions as a 150G/400G:
•
'AST' (Advanced Steering Technology) is enabled, providing
enhanced course keeping and FastTrim
•
AutoLearn is enabled, providing automatic steering calibration when
used with a ST6001+ or ST7001+ autopilot control unit
•
the course computer NMEA 1 port will transmit 10 Hz fast heading,
suitable for MARPA and radar/chart overlay on Pathfinder Plus units
Connecting to T150/T400 course computer
To connect the GyroPlus 2 unit to a T150/T400:
•
leave the autopilot fluxgate compass connected to the T150/T400
•
power the GyroPlus 2 unit via SeaTalk
connect its RATE OUTPUT to RATE GYRO inputs on the T150/T400
•
Connecting to T150/T400 course computer and Pathfinder Plus
To connect the GyroPlus 2 unit to a T150/T400 course computer and also
a Pathfinder Plus:
•
leave the autopilot fluxgate compass connected to the T150/T400
connect the RATE OUTPUT on the GyroPlus 2 unit to the RATE
•
GYRO inputs on the T150/T400
•
power the GyroPlus 2 unit from both SeaTalk and the distribution
panel:
•
•
connect the NMEA 1 outputs on the course computer to the NMEA
•
inputs on the Pathfinder Plus
Connecting to Autopilots
ST4000+ or ST5000+ autopilot (see page 30)
T100 or T300 course computer (see page 31)
provide power from SeaTalk so the GyroPlus 2 unit receives
power when the course computer is powered up but the Path-
finder is off
provide power from the same switch as the Pathfinder Plus so the
GyroPlus 2 unit receives power when the Pathfinder is powered
up but the course computer is off
