Data cable
GPS requirement
The S1000 must receive GPS information to function correctly. Use the Data Cable supplied, to connect the Course Computer to a GPS, using either of the following methods:
1.To a Raymarine GPS via SeaTalk connections.
2.To a Raymarine GPS via NMEA spur.
3.To a
NMEA connector (not supplied), from GPS
NMEA Spur
When connecting NMEA data from an external source, always connect via the NMEA spur on the Data Cable. Do NOT connect NMEA data from an external source directly to the connector on the Course Computer.
For details of the NMEA Spur connections, refer to Diagram D 
Each time power is applied to an S1000 Autopilot connected to a Raymarine GPS (via NMEA or SeaTalk), the S1000 will set the GPS filtering to WEAK.

If you want to connect to an external SeaTalk system, ensure each of these SeaTalk wires connects to the wire of the same color in the external system.
When you have completed the electrical connections, secure the wires at the Course Computer.
