2.4.1 NMEA Connections
The CP590 PWR ACC1 connector is also used to attach NMEA devices* such as AIS
Receivers, digital instruments, Personal Computers, Autopilots and the optional FF525
Black Box Fish Finder.
*NOTE
RS232 not opto-isolated electrical interface.
*NOTE: AIS RECEIVER OPTION
For more information on AIS refer to Section 14.
The CP590 has to be set up to be able to receive NMEA information from the AIS Receiver. The
CP590 reads the AIS NMEA message VMD, type 1, 2, 3 and 5 for AIS Class A and type 18, 19,
24 for AIS Class B. Select the used Port and transmission speed by following the procedure:
1. From the Chart page, press [MENU], move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight
SETUP MENU
and press [ENT].
2. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight
ADVANCED SETUP and press [ENT] or move the
ShuttlePoint knob to the right.
3. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight IN/OUT CONNECTIONS and press [ENT] or move the
ShuttlePoint knob to the right.
4. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to highlight PORT1 INPUT and press [ENT] or move the
ShuttlePoint knob to the right.
5. Move the ShuttlePoint knob up/down to select
AIS 38400 and press [ENT] or move the
ShuttlePoint knob to the right.
6. Press [CLR] or move the ShuttlePoint knob to the left until the Chart page is shown.
**NOTE: AUTOPILOT CONNECTION
Care must be taken when connecting the CP590 to an Autopilot. Normally Port3 (Yellow wire) will
be used to connect to an Autopilot input, however older Autopilots may not be able to read the
sentences due to the talker ID that is being used (II Integrated Instrument). If the Autopilot
connections are made to Port3 (Yellow wire) and the Autopilot is not reading the sentences, change
the connections to Port1 (Brown) or Port2 (White) and change the sentences to APA, APB, XTE,
COG and BOD.
