The NI300X NMEA Interface (expansion) Unit is designed for
installations in which more NMEA lines have to be tied into the
system. Four NMEA ports, which are identical in hardware and
software, are available and can be connected as desired. An
additional output data-port with a DATA/CLOCK signal is
capable of generating heading data in the format used by some
radar displays made by Simrad and Furuno.
The 12V output is designed for driving instruments with a total
maximum load of 250 mA.
Configuration for Simrad or Furuno is selected in the
Installation Interface Menu (see page 132).
CI300X Compass Interface Unit
The CI300X Compass Interface Unit is an optional module
designed to enable a variety of different equipment to connect
into AP50 systems. The CI300X converts the analog inputs into
RobNet compatible signals for use by AP50 system components.
The CI300X adds the following capabilities to the AP50 system
and allows connection of each of the following simultaneously:
• Magnetic compass connection with CD100/CD100A course
detector
• Gyrocompass connection for Simrad RGC50, RGC10,
RGC11 (1:1 synchro)
• Analog input of sine/cosine for a fluxgate compass
connection (including other manufacturers’ sine/cosine
fluxgate compasses)
For detailed information, see the CI300X manual.
