• Open the source select page in
the User Setup menu and check
that data are available.
• Check the navigator setup and
make sure it is transmitting
appropriate data.
• Perform a NMEA Port Test
(hardware) as per below.
Note ! The “WIND” reading is the apparent wind from the port (L) or
starboard (R). The “SPEED” reading is the speed through
water.
NMEA signal monitor
Near the NMEA terminals in the Autopilot Computer you will
find a green monitor LED marked “RX”. A flickering LED
indicates that a NMEA signal is received. It does not, however,
qualify the contents of the message.
Note ! Do not mix up the “RX” LED with the LED marked “TX”. The
“TX” LED will always be lit or flickering when the autopilot is
on.
NMEA Port test (AC hardware)
Disconnect the cables on the Main PCB in the Autopilot
Computer and connect TX1+ to RX1+ and TX1- to RX1-.
Similarly, on the Power PCB connect the NMEA ports the same
way; TX2+ to RX2+ and TX2– to RX2–.
Under Service in the Installation Menu,
select NMEA port test by pressing the
STBD 1 button and confirm this by
pressing the STBD 10 button.
Verify that the hardware is OK. If not,
replace the corresponding PCB(‘s).
