I'm trying to connect a PG-700 Heading Sensor to my GP1971F plotter. The GP1971 is connected to a NMEA 2000 (Raymarine SeaTalk) backbone which feeds in data from a Vesper XB-8000 and Raymarine instruments. The cable provided with the PG-700 (00153308000) isn't compatible with the Raymarine SeaTalk backbone T fitting and there appears to be no direct fit to the plotter. My goal is to allow my newly installed DRS-4W to overlay its image on the Avionics charts on the GP1971 plotter and for that it appears I need to add the heading sensor input.
My questions are:
1. What fitting or cable do I need to connect the PG-700 to the SeaTalk backbone?
2. I assume (always dangerous I know) that once connected to the backbone the GP1971F will automatically pick up the PG-700 signal - is that correct?
3. I assume that will allow the radar/chart overlay or do I need to do something else?
Thanks in advance for your help.
