[CA] [CA11] autopilot to qarmin gps

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Sergio,

Q1. I Have a RAymarine auto pilot ST6001
A1. The ST6001 was an autopilot control head which was designed for use with a number of Raymarine autopilot course computers.

Q2. How would I connect it to my Garmin GPSMAP 1042.
A2. The ST6001 features a NMEA 0183 communications terminals as does the Raymarine autopilot course computer which the ST6001 has been interfaced to. Should you examine the Garmin GPSMAP 1042 Installation Manual, you will find that it features NMEA 0183 I/O leads. You will first need to determine whether you will prefer Garmin GPSMAP 1042 be interfaced to the autopilot course computer Raymarine device or to the ST6001 Raymarine device ... this is simply a preference ... either device may be selected.

- Connect the NMEA 0183 TXA lead of the Garmin GPSMAP 1042 Power/NMEA 0183 Cable to the NMEA 0183 IN+ terminal of the selected Raymarine device; and
- Connect the NMEA 0183 TXB lead of the Garmin GPSMAP 1042 Power/NMEA 0183 Cable to the NMEA 0183 IN- terminal of the selected Raymarine device.
