28 SmartPilot X-5R Drive Installation and Setup Guide
NMEA 0183 equipment
The SPX-5R Drive system can connect via an NMEA port to NMEA devices such as a
GPS or chartplotter.
Data bridging
The SPX-5R Pilot system acts as a bridge between SeaTalk and NMEA0183,
allowing NMEA and SeaTalk devices to share information.
For example, the information received from an NMEA GPS could be shared with a
SeaTalk instrument to provide a separate Course Over Ground display.
NMEA 0183 / Connecting other manufacturers’ equipment
• When connecting Raymarine equipment to other equipment using a non-
Raymarine cable, you MUST attach an appropriate suppression ferrite to the
cable near to the Raymarine unit.
• When connecting third party equipment refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
for cable details.
• You should not connect more than one piece of equipment to the Course
Computer NMEA input.
