Your product can be connected to various products Important: Before proceeding, ensure that you

the functionality of the overall system. cautions provided in the Chapter 1 Important
These connections may be made using a number of information section of this document.
different protocols. Fast and accurate data collection
and transfer is achieved by using a combination of
the following data protocols:
• SeaTalkng®
• NMEA 2000
• SeaTalk
Note: You may find that your system does not
use all of the connection types or instrumentation
described in this section.

SeaTalkng®
SeaTalkng® (Next Generation) is an enhanced
protocol for connection of compatible marine
instruments and equipment. It replaces the older
SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 protocols.
SeaTalkng® utilizes a single backbone to which
compatible equipment connect using a spur. Data
and power are carried within the backbone. Devices
that have a low draw can be powered from the
network, although high current equipment will need
to have a separate power connection.
SeaTalkng® is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000
and the proven CAN bus technology. Compatible
NMEA 2000 and SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 devices can
also be connected using the appropriate interfaces
or adaptor cables as required.

NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over
NMEA 0183, most notably in speed and connectivity.
Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and
receive on a single physical bus at any one time,
with each node being physically addressable. The
standard was specifically intended to allow for
a whole network of marine electronics from any
manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via
standardized message types and formats.

SeaTalk
SeaTalk is a protocol which enables compatible
instruments to connect to each other and share data.
The SeaTalk cable system is used to connect
compatible instruments and equipment. The cable
carries power and data and enables connection
without the need for a central processor.
Additional instruments and functions can be added to
a SeaTalk system, simply by plugging them into the
network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate
with other non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA
0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is used.

As display contrast, color and night mode
Important considerations when choosing a suitable
performance are all affected by the viewing angle,

The product should be mounted where it will be: viewing angle.

• protected from physical damage and excessive

vibration.
• well ventilated and away from heat sources.
• away from any potential ignition source such as an
engine room, near fuel tanks or a gas locker.
When choosing a location for the product,
consider the following points to ensure reliable and
trouble-free operation:
• Access — there must be sufficient space to
enable cable connections to the product, avoiding
tight bends in the cable.
• Diagnostics — the product must be mounted in
a location where the diagnostics LED is easily
visible.
Note: Not all products include a diagnostics
LED. Refer to the Chapter 15 System checks
and troubleshooting for more information.

• Electrical interference — the product should be

mounted far enough away from any equipment
that may cause interference such as motors,
generators and radio transmitters / receivers.
• Magnetic compass — refer to the Compass
safe distance section in this document for advice
on maintaining a suitable distance between this
product and any compasses on your vessel.
• Power — to keep cable runs to a minimum, the
product must be located as close as possible to
the vessel’s dc power supply.
• Mounting surface — ensure the product is
adequately supported on a secure surface. Refer
to the weight information provided in the Technical
specification for this product and ensure that the
intended mounting surface is suitable for bearing
the product weight. Do NOT mount units or cut
holes in places which may damage the structure
of the vessel.

Compass safe distance

To prevent potential interference with the vessel's
magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance
is maintained from the product.
When choosing a suitable location for the product
you should aim to maintain the maximum possible
distance from any compasses. Typically this distance
should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. However
for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to
locate the product this far away from a compass. In
this situation, when choosing the installation location
for your product, ensure that the compass is not
affected by the product when it is in a powered state.

Recommendations and best practice.
• Only use approved SeaTalkng® power cables. Do
NOT use a power cable designed for, or supplied
with, a different product.
• See below for more information on implementation
for some common power distribution scenarios.
Important: When planning and wiring, take into
consideration other products in your system, some
of which (e.g. sonar modules) may place large
power demand peaks on the vessel’s electrical
system.

Calibrating using SOG
For most installations a 1 Point Speed Calibration is
all that is required.
If the 1 point calibration does not provide sufficiently
accurate readings or you require a higher level of
precision for your speed readings then a Speed Run
Calibration can be carried out. It is advisable to carry
out the Speed Run Calibration at as many speeds as
possible. This is particularly important for planing
vessels.
* Conventional speed transducers have a maximum
of 5 calibration speeds, and smart transducers (e.g.
DST800) have up to 8.
If required each calibration point can also have a
calibration factor applied to further align the log
speed reading across different vessel speeds.
Note: * The Speed Run Calibration cannot be
performed when the transducer is connected to
a Speed Pod.
Calibrating without SOG
For most installations a 1 Point Speed Calibration
is all that is required. The calibration must be
performed using a way of estimating actual vessel
speed and adjusting the displayed reading so that
the log speed matches the your estimated speed.
If you do not have SOG data available then the
Speed Run Calibration cannot be performed.
If required, further calibration points can be added
and a calibration factor can be applied to further
align the log speed with actual vessel speed.

Transducer care and cleaning

Growth can collect on the bottom of the transducer,
this can reduce performance. To prevent the build-up
of sea growth, coat the transducer with a thin layer
of water-based antifouling paint, available from
your local marine dealer. Reapply paint every 6
months or at the beginning of each boating season.
Certain smart transducers have restrictions on where
antifouling paint is applied. Please consult your
dealer.
Note: Transducers with a temperature sensor may
not work properly if painted.

Note: Never use ketone-based paint. Ketones

can attack many plastics, possibly damaging the
sensor.

Note: Never use spray paint on your transducer.

Spraying incorporates tiny air bubbles, and a
marine transducer cannot transmit properly
through air.

Use a soft cloth and mild household detergent to

clean the transducer. If the fouling is severe, remove
the growth with a tough cleaning pad, such as a
green Scotch BriteTM pad for example. Be careful to
avoid scratching the face of the transducer.
Note: Harsh cleaning solvents such as acetone
WILL damage the transducer.

15.1 Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting information provides possible
causes and corrective action required for common
problems associated with marine electronics
installations.
All Raymarine products are, prior to packing and
shipping, subjected to comprehensive test and
quality assurance programs. However, if you
experience problems with the operation of your
product this section will help you to diagnose
and correct problems in order to restore normal
operation.
If after referring to this section you are still having
problems with your unit, please contact Raymarine
Technical Support for further advice.

90
15.2 Power up troubleshooting
Problems at power up and their possible causes and solutions are described here.

Product does not turn on or keeps turning off

Possible causes Possible solutions
Blown fuse / tripped breaker 1. Check condition of relevant fuses and breakers and connections, replace
if necessary (Refer to the Technical Specification section of your product’s
installation instructions for fuse ratings.)
2. If fuse keeps blowing check for cable damage, broken connector pins or
incorrect wiring.
Poor / damaged / insecure power supply 1. Check that the power cable connector is fully inserted into the unit and locked in
cable / connections position.
2. Check the power supply cable and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion,
replace if necessary.
3. With the unit turned on, try flexing the power cable near to the display connector
to see if this causes the unit to re-boot/loose power, replace if necessary.
4. Check the vessel’s battery voltage, the condition of the battery terminals and
power supply cables, ensuring connections are secure, clean and free from
corrosion, replace if necessary.
5. With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for high voltage drop
across all connectors/fuses etc, replace if necessary.
Incorrect power connection The power supply may be wired incorrectly, ensure the installation instructions have
been followed.
Power source insufficient With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check the power supply voltage as
close to the unit as possible to establish actual voltage when the current is flowing.
(Refer to the Technical Specification section of your product’s installation instructions
for power supply requirements.)

Product will not boot up (re-boot loop)

Possible causes Possible solutions
Power supply and connection See possible solutions from ‘Products does not turn on or keeps turning off’ above.

Software corruption 1. In the unlikely event that the products software has become corrupted please try
re-flashing the latest software from the Raymarine website.
2. On display products, as a last resort, you can try to perform a ‘Power on Reset’,
however this will delete all settings/presets and user data (such as waypoints
and tracks) and revert the unit back to factory defaults.
