Figure 3-16 S35 connection

The unit is opened by removing the three screws on the back
cover. Inside are two sets of micro-switches, a printed circuit
board with a plug-in terminal and a jumper strap.

3.18 Interfacing

With the autopilot system there are several possibilities to
connect to other equipment for data collection and exchange:
1. Use SimNet
2. Use SimNet via AT10 Universal SimNet/NMEA Converter
3. Connect to a NMEA2000 network or unit
4. The AC10 has a single NMEA0183 input/output port.
5. The AC20 and AC40 have two NMEA0183 input/output ports

and Clock Data interface to Simrad and Furuno radars.

The NMEA0183 output may also drive Simrad IS15 instruments
directly.
The different connecting diagrams on the following pages
illustrate the interface possibilities of the autopilots.

3.19 SimNet

The SimNet cable system with very small plugs in both ends
makes it easy to run the cables, only 10 mm (3/8”) holes are
required through panels and bulkheads. The SimNet accessory
program contains the necessary items to make a successful
installation.
