Switchcraft EN3P7MP or equivalent Mating: EN3C7FC or equivalent Figure 3: 2201 mounting configuration for a flat surface (as shown from underneath) Page 16 2201 INSTALLATION MANUAL, Revision B SECTION THREE Interfacing the 2201 This section explains the following interfacing topics: · · · · · using the 2201-CA cable connecting the 2201 to a Northstar 941, 951, or 952 (which must be running software version 3. 18 or higher) connecting the 2201 to power (using either remote power on or ship's power) connecting the 2201/NMEA to a compatible device connecting the 2201/NMEA to power Using the 2201-CA cable All connections to the 2201 are made through Northstar's 2201-CA data/power cable that ships with the 2201. One end of this cable is terminated with a 7-pin connector that plugs right into the 2201's 7-pin connector. The other end has stripped and tinned leads, to be used to either connect the binary 2201 to a Northstar 941/951/952 (the leads are used for the data interface connections to Northstar's WA215 cable, and to power), or to connect the 2201/NMEA to a compatible device (the leads are used for the data interface connections to the DB9 connector, and to power). For an illustration of the 2201-CA cable, including the pin numbers and signals for the 7-pin connector, see Figure 4 on page 18. 2201 INSTALLATION MANUAL, Revision B Page 17 SECTION THREE Interfacing the 2201 Figure 4: Connections for the Northstar 2201-CA cable Page 18 2201 INSTALLATION MANUAL, Revision B BLACK SECTION THREE Interfacing the 2201 Connecting the 2201 (binary) Connecting to the Northstar 941/951/952 This section explains how to connect the 2201 (binary) to the Northstar 941, 951, or 952, and connect the 2201 to power. The 2201 is interfaced with the Northstar 941/951/952 by connecting the 2201-CA interface cable to Northstar's WA215 interface cable. Northstar supplies the WA215 cable with each 941/951/952 for connecting to autopilots, plotters, and other navigation equipment. This cable may already be connected to the 941/951/952, but if not, find the cable or call your Northstar dealer to order one. Route the WA215 and 2201-CA cables to a protected area suitable for electrical connections. Plug one end of the WA215 cable connector into the 18-pin I/O connector, labelled "J2" at the back of the 941/ 951/952. Connect the stripped end of the WA215 cable to the stripped end of the 2201-CA cable. For details about the interface connections, see Table 2, "Northstar 2201 (binary) connections, " on page 20. 3. 2201 INSTALLATION MANUAL, Revision B Page 19 SECTION THREE Interfacing the 2201 Table 2: Northstar 2201 (binary) connections 2201-CA DATA/POWER CABLE Pin # (pod) 1 Blue Wire color (function) RS232 RX1 (Main receive port) RS232 RX2 (Aux receive port) RS232 TX1 (Main transmit port) Signal gnd Wire connections Function WA215 I/O CABLE Wire color Pin # (941, 951, or 952) 18 <-----------> Connect Not connecteda RS232 TX Red 2 Orange 3 Green <----------> Connect <----------> Connect <----------> Connect <----------> Connect RS232 RX Green 16 4 Brown Ground Honkb Groundc Tan 17 Remote power- on 5 Black Ship's power control Pink 14 Tan 17 6 White Power gnd (system gnd) Power in (9-36 VDC) Connect to ship's ground Connect to ship's power 7 Red a. If the existing installation doesn't use the honk output, connect the pink wire to black and use pin number 14 to remotely turn on the 2201 whenever the 941/951/952's power is turned on. If the existing installation already uses the honk output, ground the remote-on wire (black) to always turn on the 2201 whenever ship's power is turned on. Use the tan wire and pin number 17. Connecting to power To connect the 2201 to power: 1. There are two possible wiring options for power-on: · · using the 941/951/952's remote power-on feature using the ship's power control Page 20 2201 INSTALLATION MANUAL, Revision B SECTION THREE Interfacing the 2201 NOTE: If the 2201's power isn't turned off by one of these methods, the 2201 will continuously draw up to 0. 2 A from the ship's battery. Using remote power on This option will automatically power-on or power-off the 2201 as soon as the Northstar 941/951/952's power is turned on or off: 1. If the existing 941/951/952 installation has a WA215 cable connected to the 18-pin I/O connector, check the availability of the honk output by looking for the pink wire at the stripped end of the WA215 cable. If the pink wire isn't used for honk output, you can use it to remotely power-on the 2201: Connect the pink wire to the 2201-CA cable's black wire. For details about the power connections, see Table 2, "Northstar 2201 (binary) connections, " on page 20. After you connect remote power-on to the honk output, you must now set the HONK OUTPUT option in the Northstar 941/951/952 to the REMOTE PWR setting. If you do not set this option in the 941/951/952, the 2201 will not power-on. For step-by-step instructions, see "Setting the 2201 options" on page 26. 2. 3. Using ship's power control This option will automatically power-on or power-off the 2201 as soon as ship's power is turned on or off: 1. If the existing 941/951/952 installation has a WA215 cable connected to the 18-pin I/O connector, check the availability of the honk output by looking for the pink wire at the stripped end of the WA215 cable.
