Connections to the instrument
You can connect your instrument:
•Directly to the compass transducer as a
•As part of a SeaTalk system either as a repeater or, with a transducer also connected as a system master. To connect to SeaTalk, you will need an additional SeaTalk Interconnection Kit (Part No. E25028). When connected in this manner, power can be provided from the SeaTalk bus (e.g. from the autopilot).
Provided there is no other Fluxgate Compass already connected to SeaTalk, you can connect the instrument to both the compass transducer and SeaTalk. When thus connected, the instrument will be the master compass instrument for the SeaTalk system.
If it is necessary to fit spade connectors to the transducer cable, do so as shown in the following illustration. Prepare the cable, as at (a), and fit the spade connectors as at (b). When fitting each spade connector, ensure that wire strands do not extend beyond the rear of the spade connector insulation.
