If you have two control units, we recommend that you connect one to each SeaTalk terminal. In the following illustration:

the course computer provides power to the SeaTalk system

one control unit is connected on its own to SeaTalk A so it is isolated against any possible failure of SeaTalk B

If the SeaTalk B line fails, the isolated control unit will switch to Standby mode as a safety measure. By pressing auto on the isolated control unit you can regain full autopilot control.
