S-1000 terminology

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Rich,

The only connections which need be made between the Garmin GPS/Chartplotter are those specified previously and stated again below:

- connect the S1000's +ve in (NMEA 0183 IN+) lead to either the either NMEA 0183 Port 1 TX or Port 2 TX lead of the Garmin 741XS power/data harness
- connect the S1000's -ve in (NMEA 0183 IN-) lead to the Ground (Power & NMEA 0183) lead of the Garmin 741XS power/data harness

If connected as indicated, then the autopilot will receive GPS data and navigational data required for it to operate in Auto mode as well as to operate in Track mode (requires that the GPS/chartplotter be commanded to Go To a waypoint/cursor location or to Follow a Route). Please note that when operating in Track mode, the operator must acknowledge that it is safe to turn onto the next course line when entering the arrival circle of each point of a route.

Given the report that the autopilot will only turn to starboard, it is possible that the autopilot's pump or course computer may have experienced a problem. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing addressing how to fault isolate the problem.
