RE: [DG11] New X-5 Wheel Pilot showing Error "No Pilot"
Hi Oday32CC

Thankyou for your enquiry and the pictures,

The first point to note is that the STng connection to the SPX5 computer shows the screen/ shield not connected, this will be a problem and you should remake the Spur cable connection to the SPX computer STng terminals and there should be 5 connections, Screen/Shield - a bare wire, then Red, Black, White and Blue.

The SPX course computer will power up as soon as power is applied to the main power connection - shown as red and black in the photograph. I would also point out the red and black wires used appear to be quite thin and we would usually recommend a minimum of 2.5 sqmm for a cable run of less than 4m to the main distribution panel.

check the voltage at the power connection to make sure a minimum of 13.5v - note that a battery will still show 12v when almost fully discharged - a well charged battery should show 13.5 volts or thereabouts.

Next check the connections and configuration of the backbone to make sure the STng network is correctly set up and terminated, a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone must be installed onboard having sufficient SeaTalkng T-Pieces (SeaTalkng 5-way connectors may be substituted where NMEA 2000 devices are closely located) for each SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 device which will be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 network backbone. A simple backbone may be constructed from the following components:

- A06064 SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06031 SeaTalkng Termination Plugs x 2
- A06049 SeaTalkng Power Cable
- a pair of SeaTalkng Spur Cables to connect to STng displays

More information concerning SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 networking and SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 networking components may be found here.

regards

Derek
