Chapter 1: System Connections 3
1.3 Using the NMEA IN and OUT connectors
Although the NMEA connectors provide a useful means of interfacing with
external systems, you do not have to connect to NMEA if you are receiving
the data you want from SeaTalk.
CAUTION: Connections to other equipment
If you are connecting any Raymarine product to other equipment, using
a non-Raymarine cable, you MUST fit an appropriate suppression
ferritetothecableneartotheRaymarineproduct.
If you want to connect your NMEA IN and NMEA OUT connectors to an
NMEA device:
• Terminate each cable in an appropriate manner for connection to the
device.
• Ensure a ferrite is fitted to each cable, adjacent to the ST60 Graphic Dis-
play.
