6.5.6 Connecting ACU to Ship Gyrocompass

For satellite tracking, connect a gyrocompass used on ship to the antenna system through the
gyrocompass interface of the ACU. Intellian ACU supports NMEA 0183 (GYRO) gyrocompass input.
How to Connect NMEA 0183 Gyrocompass Cable
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two screw terminals by rotating them counterclockwise.
2. Strip wires up to 5 mm (0.2"). Do not solder the cables.
3. Insert conductor of gyro cable to the terminal block. The polarity of the terminal is indicated on the ACU with +
and - marks. After checking the polarity, connect the cables correctly.
4. Fully tighten the screws by rotating them clockwise to clamp the wires securely.
