2. Use SimNet via AT10 Universal SimNet/NMEA Converter
3. Connect to a NMEA2000 network via adapter (drop) cable,
part no. 24005729.

and Furuno radars.
The different connecting diagrams on the following pages
illustrate the interface possibilities of the autopilots.

The SimNet cable system with very small plugs in both ends
makes it easy to run the cables, only 10 mm (3/8”) holes are
required through panels and bulkheads. The SimNet accessory
program contains the necessary items to make a successful
installation.
