ST50 PLUS RADAR Operation and

When connecting power to the sensor OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY!
The RED wire should be connected to the POSITIVE (+I source
terminal; the BLACK wire should be connected to the NEGATIVE
f-
)
source terminal. If the power leads are reversed the sensor will not
operate.
It it appears that the sensor is inoperative, check the input voltage
polarity with a DVM or VOM and if necessary, reverse the wires to
correct the error.

Notes: The sensor is designed to output the NMEA 0183 “HDM”
senstence for the radar. The sensor can supply data for up to two (2)
external inputs which conform to the NMEA interface requirements.
Ensure that the wiring is as shown in Fig. 2-16, above.
To avoid ground loops DO NOT CONNECT the sensor cable shield to
ground.
