IS15 General Manual
84 20220760L
Interfacing to a Simrad AP11 or AP 20 series
autopilot
Use a single cable with two twisted pairs of wire for this
connection.
NMEA Out
The connection will provide speed, depth, temperature and wind
data input to the autopilot.
With a J3000X Junction Unit in the system the autopilot will
also receive GPS data via this connection provided a
GPS/chartplotter is connected to the Expander.
The connection is made to the J3xx Junction Unit Main Board,
Terminals RX1+ and RX1-.
NMEA In
This connection provides heading data input to the instruments.
The connection is made to the J3xx Junction Unit Main Board
terminals TX1+ and TX1–.

Note !
With a J300X Junction Unit in the autopilot system you may
have redundancy and a higher heading output rate if you run a
separate and direct NMEA interface between the chartplotter
and the autopilot.
In that case connect the IS15 Expander to J300X, RX2/TX2
instead. Connect the chartplotter (port 1) to IS15 as shown in
Figure 6-12. In addition connect the chartplotter (port 2) to
J300X, RX1/TX1. On the autopilot and the chartplotter the
interfacing must be set up accordingly.
