Autohelm 6000 (preST); wind vane input

[patpin]

Hello, Can anyone tell me what kind of signals/voltages this autopilot is expecting. The wind vane connector has a label for Rd, Bl, Grn, White .
I guess rd /white is PowSuppl. + and -; and Bl/Gr is the classical 90° shifted Voltage between 2 and 6V? but I am not shure since I have no vane.
Can someone help me on that old stuff. Thanks

Nobody still kwows about Autohelm windvan input????

Have you any idea of the part numbers for the autopilot and windvane? There's quite a lot of historic information, servicing manuals etc on line but you need part numbers. For instance our Autohelm course computer is Z83 and the controller Z82 - typical Autohelm part numbers - and I think full service and repair manuals for these exist.

Thanks fryr answ.
Dont find the numbers you are asking for but I found this:
AUTOHELM 6000 from about the year 1988
PCB's in course computer are labelled NAUTECH 110488

POWERDRIVE PCB: 3015 010A
power transistors: SM8751 and 8746

MAIN PCB: 3015-009-155-c
Chips on main PCB:
Philips MAB 8049H A135
TMS 2764-20JL LHP8745
SN74LS373N
CD4066BE
CA3130E
CD4051BE
BDW93B 8747
L487 88745
BDW94B SN8750

Terminal PCB labelled NAUTECH 160388
3015 004 issue B


Maybe this can help to identify? Its a preST 6000 type from 1988 or a year earlier.

Hi,

did you manage to find out what was the output of the windvane? I assume part number for windvane you are looking for is z034

[atoll]

should be the same wind transducer as the st50/st 60/i60 but without the windspeed element and wiring

wiring ,voltages and tests in the link
