connector, for future use)
1. Connect the pins according to the table above.
4.1.5.1 NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 connection supports EN 61162-1 (baud rate 4800, format 8N1) and EN
61162-2 (baud rate 38400, format 8N1). The ACU detects the baud rate automatically, you
cannot configure this interface.
Supported NMEA sentences, in order of priority:
• HEHDT (North seeking Gyro compass)
• GPHDT (GPS compass)
• HNHDT (Non-North seeking gyro compass)
• IIHDT (Integrated Instrument)
• HCHDT (Magnetic compass)
Recommended NMEA 0183 cable: Two-wire constructed with one enclosed shield
Network signal pair:
• Size: No. 24 AWG (0.24 sq. mm) or heavier
• Characteristic impedance: 95 - 140 Ohm
• Propagation delay: 5 nanoseconds per meter, maximum
• 15 Twists (minimum) per meter

Any HDT sentence is supported as long as it complies with the following header
format: "$xxHDT", where xx can be two characters e.g. IN for $INHDT
