RE: (DG) Replacing ST5000+ control head with p70s
Hi billworsley
Thank you for your enquiry.

The ST5000+ is not just a control head for the autopilot,it also contains the central course computer too, hence all the connections on the back of it.

As described at the foot of this FAQ click here for the full details, as long as the only fault is the faded display, then the p70s control head can be used to control the operation of the ST5000+ autopilot.

The St5000+ autopilot needs to remain connected into the system exactly as it is now, this will enable the computer part of the control unit to function normally. The p70s is then connected via the Converter cable A06047 direct into the D244 SeaTalk 3 way junction block, which is then connected into a convenient location within the current SeaTalk network.

This means that the p70s is connected to the ST5000+ control unit via SeaTalk and will enable you to input course changes and engage or disengage the autopilot. You will not be able to access any calibration settings from the p70s, all calibration will still have to be carried out through the ST5000+ display head.

regards
