50 ST6001+ Autopilot Control Unit - Owner’s Handbook5 Installing the ST6001+We supply the ST6001+ with a 9 m (29 ft 6 in) SeaTalk cable asstandard. Depending on your installation, you may need to obtainalternative or additional SeaTalk cables (as shown in the followingillustration).5.4 NMEA connectionsThe ST6001+ has a set of NMEA inputs so it can receive data inNMEA 0183 format from navigation or wind instruments. It can usethis data to operate in Track or Wind Vane modes.Note: If your ST6001+ control unit is part of a course computersystem, you can connect additional NMEA equipment to other partsof the system. To decode the maximum amount of NMEA data (so itcan be transmitted onto SeaTalk), connect the navigator to the coursecomputer NMEA terminals. Refer to the Autopilot System InstallationGuide for more information.Receiving NMEA dataNMEA data formatsThe ST6001+ can decode the following NMEA 0183 navigation andwind data received:Flat moulded plug to round plugFlat moulded plugs at each endD5417-1Part no.
