[CA] [CA11] AR200 Output....

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome back to the Raymarine Forum Tim,

Q. am I correct in thinking that the AR200 would plug directly into my Seatalkng/Seatalk backbone/Converter... Therefore enabling me to remove the GPS and SHS/Gyro Units....
A. This statement is partially correct. When installing an AR200 within such a system,
- the system must feature a MFD running the latest available LH3 software required to align / reset the AR200
- the AR200 may be interfaced to a spur (white) socket within the backbone,
- the SHS must be disconnected from the system
- S1G/S2G/S3G and SPX autopilot course computers, the gyro must be unplugged from the course computer's processor board
- the fluxgate compass must be disconnected from the system
- the autopilot course computer will be disconnected from the SeaTalk bus,
- the autopilot control head(s), wireless autopilot remote base station, wired remotes must be disconnected from the SeaTalk bus and instead will alone be interfaced interfaced to the SeaTalk port(s) of the autopilot course computer
- a NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 data bridge (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO-STNG) will be used to interface the autopilot course computer's NMEA 0183 Port 1 IN & OUT to a spur socket within the backbone.
