4. The AC05 has high speed compass heading output to Simrad
and Furuno radars (Clock/Data interface).
The different connecting diagrams on the following pages
illustrate the interface possibilities of the autopilots.
3.14 SimNet
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.
SimNet network cables
A SimNet unit has one or two yellow SimNet connectors. There
are no dedicated “in” or “out” connectors. Find the shortest and
easiest way to route the SimNet cables from product to product
and select the standard length cables from the SimNet accessory
program. SimNet cables are available in 0.3 m (1 ft.), 2 m (6.6
ft.), 5 m (16.6 ft.) and 10 m (33 ft.) length all with plugs at both
ends. Connect products with two SimNet connectors in a daisy
chain and use drop cable and T-joiner for products with only one
SimNet connector.
The SimNet power cable has a red connector with built in
terminator.
If you plan to extend your SimNet system in the future it may be
an idea to prepare for it by adding a few T-joiners in central
locations. The T-joiners provides easy access to the network and
can be replaced with a new product, or the new product can be
connected via a drop cable.
SimNet power and termination
The following rules should be observed when installing SimNet.
1. SimNet must not
be connected to a 24VDC supply.
2. SimNet shall have a separate 12VDC
power from the battery
bus or the circuit breaker board to avoid interference
3. SimNet shall not
be connected to the supply voltage
terminals of the Autopilot Computer (introduces
interference).
