Isolated control unit, single power supply
If you have two control units, we recommend that you connect one to
each SeaTalk terminal. In the following illustration:
• the course computer provides power to the SeaTalk system
• one control unit is connected on its own to SeaTalk A so it is
isolated against any possible failure of SeaTalk B
If the SeaTalk B line fails, the isolated control unit will switch to
Standby mode as a safety measure. By pressing auto on the isolated
control unit you can regain full autopilot control.
* Note: Depending on the number of SeaTalk units and the total length of SeaTalk
cabling, you may need to provide power supply to each end of the SeaTalk bus
(‘ring-main’ style). Refer to the instrument handbook for more information.
