The GHP 12 autopilot system consists of multiple components.
Familiarize yourself with all of the components before beginning
installation. You must know how the components operate together in
order to correctly plan the installation on your boat.
As you familiarize yourself with the GHP 12 components, conrm
that your package includes the items listed below. All the components,
except the drive unit, are included in the GHP 12 core box. The drive
unit is sold separately (page 8). If any parts are missing, contact your
Garmin dealer immediately.
Record the serial number of each component in the space provided.

The GHP 12 autopilot system consists of four main components: the
Course Computer Unit (CCU), the Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the
GHC
™
10 user control interface, and the drive unit (sold separately, see
page 8).

The CCU acts as the brain of the GHP 12. The CCU contains the
sensory equipment used to determine heading. The CCU connects to the
ECU and to the GHC 10 with a single cable. The CCU also connects
to a NMEA 2000
®
network to communicate with the GHC 10, and to
optional NMEA 2000-compatible devices, such as a chartplotter and a
wind sensor (page 11).

The ECU connects to the CCU and to the drive unit. The ECU controls
the drive unit based on information from the CCU. The ECU powers
both the CCU and the drive unit.

The GHC 10 is the primary interface used to operate the GHP 12
autopilot system. Using the GHC 10, you engage and steer the GHP 12.
You also set up and customize the GHP 12 using the GHC 10.
The GHC 10 connects to a NMEA 2000 network to communicate
with the CCU. The GHC 10 also connects with optional NMEA
2000-compatible devices, such as a wind sensor, a water-speed sensor,
or a GPS device, to use advanced features of the GHP 12. If NMEA
2000-compatible devices are not available, you can connect the GHC 10
to optional NMEA 0183-compatible devices instead.

optional devices.

This cable connects the CCU to the ECU. A portion of this cable
