Chapter 1: System Connections 5
Alternative uses of NMEA OUT connector
The NMEA OUT connector can be used in either of the following ways:
• To output supported NMEA data to an external NMEA system.
• To connect alarm signals to an Auxiliary Alarm.
Note: If you connect the NMEA OUT connector to an Auxiliary Alarm, you
can still use the NMEA IN connector to receive data from NMEA.
Defining the NMEA OUT connector function
Before the ST60 Graphic Display is used, you must use the procedures in
Chapter 2, Initial Setup to define how the NMEA OUT connector is
connected (i.e. for either NMEA out data or Auxiliary Alarm).
