Networking a95 to non-Raymarine A/P

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

cappy208,

The NMEA 0183 sentences listed below are supported by the a95 MFD. Should the Comnav 1420 AP support NMEA 0183 v2.1 or higher communications protocol (recommend consulting the autopilot's documentation or contacting the autopilot's manufacturer), then the MFD may be interfaced to the autopilot as follows:
- Connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 OUT+ lead (yellow) the third party autopilot course computer's NMEA 0183 IN+ lead/terminal
- Connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 OUT- lead (brown) the third party autopilot course computer's NMEA 0183 IN- lead/terminal

Should the autopilot transmit NMEA 0183 RSD (rudder angle) and HDG, HDM, or HDT (heading) sentences, then additionally:
- Connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 IN+ lead (white) the third party autopilot course computer's NMEA 0183 OUT+ lead/terminal
- Connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 IN- lead (green) the third party autopilot course computer's NMEA 0183 OUT- lead/terminal
