CONNECTIONS

The CPF180i and CPF300i have connectors that allow them to be connected to a power
supply, optional WAAS GPS antenna, NMEA devices* such as optional Video Camera
(CPF300i only), VHFs, AIS Receiver, Digital Instruments and Autopilots.
The GPS Chart Plotter can send many sentences to external NMEA devices*. The NMEA Output
wires are Yellow and White (CPF180i and CPF300i) and White (CPF300i). If you have connected
devices as shown in the following table and need to feed NMEA to other devices (Autopilot,
Radar...) you can parallel wires from the Yellow, Brown or White wires to other devices.
RS232 not opto-isolated electrical interface.

Care must be taken when connecting the GPS Chart Plotter to an Autopilot. Normally Port3 (Yellow
wire) will be used to connect to an Autopilot input, however older Autopilots may not be able to read
the sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated Instrument). If the Autopilot
connections are made to Port3 (Yellow wire) and the Autopilot is not reading the sentences, change
the connections to Port1 (Brown wire) and change the sentences to APA, APB, BOD, GGA, GLL,
RMC and XTE.
