NMEA cable connectors
NMEA connections are made using spade connectors. When fitting
the spade connectors, make sure the connector fits securely over the
blade and not between the connector and its plastic insulating cover.
Incorrect fitting will give intermittent contact which will lead to
faulty autopilot operation.
Transmitting NMEA data
Transmitting NMEA data on SeaTalk
If the ST6001+ receives any of the NMEA data shown above, and the
equivalent data is not present on SeaTalk, it will transmit the data onto
SeaTalk to make it available to other SeaTalk instruments:
• the ST6001+ transmits depth information in the units defined by
the first page in the data page rollover
• the ST6001+ always transmits water temperature in °C
Transmitting NMEA data to other NMEA equipment
If you want to transmit NMEA information to non-SeaTalk
equipment you can either:
• connect the NMEA equipment to the NMEA outputs on the
course computer (if your system includes a course computer)
or
• use a SeaTalk/NMEA Interface (part number: E85001) to convert
SeaTalk data to NMEA data (if your system does not include a
course computer)
