5. Confirm the Baud Rate (for devices connected to the pigtail only)

If there is an accessory, such as an autopilot, connected to the Sensor pigtail

cable wires, you will need to confirm that the devices are communicating at

the same baud rate. The baud rate details are as follows:

• If the GPS Receiver/Heading Sensor (AS GPS HS) is connected to

the control head, and NMEA Output is turned on, the control head will

operate exclusively at a baud rate of 38400. If there is an accessory

attached to the Sensor’s pigtail, it also needs to operate at 38400. See

your accessory installation guide to set the baud rate to 38400.

• If a GPS Receiver (AS GR16, AS GR50, AS GRP) is connected to the

control head, and NMEA Output is turned on, the control head will

operate exclusively at a baud rate of 4800. If there is an accessory

attached to the Sensor’s pigtail, it also needs to operate at 4800. See

your accessory installation guide to set the baud rate to 4800.

• If NMEA Output is turned off, then baud rates 4800, 9600, and 38400

are available on the control head and no further action is required.
