9.3 Connecting optional components

⊆To install any of these options, refer to the information supplied with the component.

GyroPlus yaw sensor

The Type 150 and Type 400 course computers do not contain a built-in GyroPlus, but you have the option of adding:

•an external GyroPlus (part number: M81162)

•or a dealer-fitted internal GyroPlus (part number: A18069)

Handheld remotes

You can connect handheld remotes to the autopilot system:

•the ST600R remote control unit (part number: A12016) can act as the sole pilot control unit in your system or as a full-function remote for systems with other fixed pilot control units

•the compact SeaTalk handheld remote (part number: A15002) gives you full course control away from the main steering position

External alarm

The autopilot system sounds an off-course alarm from all control units. On large and/or noisy boats you can fit a Raymarine external alarm (part number: Z035, connected though E85001 interface box) as a high volume repeater.

Wind vane (sail boats)

The course computer can use wind angle information from a wind vane or instrument to maintain a course relative to the wind. You can provide wind angle information to the autopilot system by connecting it to:

•a suitable SeaTalk or NMEA instrument (providing wind angle and speed information)

or

•a Raymarine pushpit wind vane (part number: Z159) connected

through an interface box (part number: M81189)
