Connect:

the NMEA outputs from the equipment (such as navigators, wind or speed instruments to the NMEA inputs on the course computer

the NMEA outputs on the course computer to the NMEA inputs on the equipment (such as radar)

Control unit NMEA inputs

You can connect the outputs from a single item of NMEA equipment to the NMEA inputs on the ST6001+ or ST7001+ control units.

For more information, refer to the control unit owner’s handbook.

SeaTalk/NMEA interface

The SeaTalk/NMEA interface (part number: E85001) enables you to connect NMEA equipment to the SeaTalk system. It allows the non-SeaTalk equipment to transmit and receive information to/from the SeaTalk system.

The interface converts:

NMEA data from the equipment into SeaTalk data

SeaTalk data from the SeaTalk system into NMEA data

For more information about NMEA and SeaTalk received and transmitted, refer to the handbook supplied with the interface.

Connect:

the NMEA equipment to the SeaTalk/NMEA interface

the SeaTalk/NMEA interface to:

one of the course computer SeaTalk terminals

or, any other SeaTalk product (using one of the available interface cables)

Connecting several items of NMEA equipment

If you need to connect several NMEA items to the course computer, you will need to use an appropriate combination of:

course computer NMEA inputs and outputs

control unit NMEA inputs

SeaTalk/NMEA interface (part number: E85001)
