Furuno to Autopilot nema question

[sand box]

I am trying to wire up a furuno 1753C to a tr-1, the furuno instructions say that pins 1 & 2 on data port 2 are the inputs for the heading sensor but the wiring diagram has them as nema outs. I am using a garmin 2010c for the primary input to the tr-1 and would like to use the gps on the furuno for the secondary gps input on the tr-1 but am not sure of the connections as stated above.

Second question...the garmin I believe uses the boats ground for the nema wires, will hooking up the nema + wire suffice for the tr-1 and the furuno if those units are internally grounded. Thanks for any and all help. Must say it is making me a bit crazy

I use a 2010C to supply all the outgoing nav data for my vhf, radar and smartcraft - I have the nema plus from the gps feeding all 3 of the plus wires of the receiving units and the minus wires of the receiving units going to the boat ground. Everything works great.

Thanks Glen

Any takers on the first part of the question?

I don't have a 1723 manual here, but if it is a 7" monitor and you only have 3 data ports then I think you can control what they do in software. The 10" ones have 4 connections and are stuck, but I think you can change yours in "PORT SETUP"

Thanks William, I'll check it out in the manual, haven't turned the unit on yet so I didn't get that far in the manual.
