20NMEA 0183 ConnectionsThe Autopilot does not need to connect to a GPS for the autopilot to work, but if you want to use waypoint steeringyou must connect to a GPS and set North see page 32. The Autopilot will accept NMEA input from two GPSunits and transmit NMEA to one receiving device. Only one of the GPS inputs is used for steering control at atime. Selection of the controlling GPS is made through the NMEA source selection [code 34] (see pages 36-38 forexplanation of setup codes). The NMEA output port transmits the NMEA sentence $APHDG at 4800 baud. Theoutput refresh rate is selectable via [code 49] from 0 to 10 Hz. The Autopilot requires the data sentences RMC andRMB to be on.The NMEA conductors are in the cable stub at the base of the Compass Ball. (See Labels on Wires forIdentifi cation) The wire color codes and signal names are shown in the wiring diagram below.You must calibrate the compass ball and set North during Sea Trial of autopilot for it to work correctly.Note: If you are using Radar Overlay, you may need to adjust code 168 in order for your overlay to line up correctly.See pages 38-41 for a GPS Connection Guide. The chart is a guide only and is to help you with your GPS connections andshould not be used as factual information.
