(DG) Extending Adaptor Cable for Axiom 9
I must extend my Adaptor Cable A06045 by cutting it and extending it with 1,5 – 2 meters.
1) What is the maximum extension length?
2) Which psychical dimensions must the extension cable have (AWG or mm2) – will a CAT 5 or CAT 6 do with no shield?
3 Can you suggest a better one.

[CA] MFD Upgrade to run CMOR Card
I currently have a C120W connected to an 18" Digital Radome Scanner, DSM30 Sounder Module, and EV200 Autopilot.
I am interested in the CMOR Gulf of Maine Card. It is my understanding from the compatibility information on the CMOR site that my C120W will not support the CMOR card.
What would be the most cost efficient MFD upgrade 9" or larger that I could use with my existing radar, sounder, and pilot instruments that will also support the CMOR card?
Thanks

Replacing an C-Series Widescreen MFD(s) with an Axiom MFD(s) or Axiom Pro MFD(s)
Replacing an C-Series Widescreen MFD(s) with an Axiom MFD(s) or Axiom Pro MFD(s)
Please note that the Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs may not be installed within an Ethernet (SeaTalkhs/RayNet) network which additionally includes C-Series Widescreen MFDs. As such, should the current system presently feature more than one C-Series Widescreen MFD, then both of the C-Series Widescreen MFDs will need to be replaced with Axiom or Axiom Pro MFDs. Raymarine’s Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs may be mixed or matched in any combination within an Ethernet network. The Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs are designed to share all system data with one another via the Ethernet network to which they will be interfaced.
MOUNTING: Raymarine offers the following adapter plates to replace flush mounted C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs with Axiom Pro MFDs:
• A80530 (C90W/E90W to Axiom Pro 9)
• A80531 (C120W/E120W to Axiom Pro 12)
• A80533 (C140W/E140W to Axiom Pro 16)
Raymarine does not presently offer adapter mounting kits to replace flush mounted C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs with an Axiom MFDs.
POWER: The currently installed C/E-Series Widescreen MFD Power/Data/Video Input Cable will need to be replaced with the Power Cable or Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable supplied with the Axiom MFD or Axiom Pro MFD.
ETHERNET: Unlike C-Series Widescreen MFDs which feature a pair of Ethernet communications interaces, Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs feature a single Ethernet communications interface. Accordingly, should each of the C-Series Widescreen MFD's interfaces currently be interfaced to another device having an Ethernet communications interface, then it would be necessary to install a HS5 RayNet Network Switch and then interface these devices to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. However, should the C-Series Widescreen MFD(s) currently be interfaced to only one other device having an Ethernet communications interface, then the Axiom or Axiom Pro MFD replacing the C-Series Widescreen MFD(s) may be adapted to use the currently installed SeaTalkhs Cable by using an A80160 SeaTalkhs (F) to RayNet (F) Adapter.
RADAR: Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to add radar features to an Axiom MFD or Axiom Pro MFD.
SEATALK: Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to interface products having a SeaTalk interface to a SeaTalkng backbone, to which the Data Master Axiom MFD or Data Master Axiom Pro MFD will also be interfaced.
EXTERNAL ALARM: Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs do not feature support for sounding an external alarm. Should an alarm from the system need to be heard in a remote location (ex. stateroom), then it would be recommended that the relatively low priced Axiom 7 MFD be installed in that location. By installing a MFD in the remote location, the responder will not only be aware that an alarm was generated and be able to squelch the alarm, but the operator will also have access to information concerning the nature of the alarm.
NMEA 0183: The NMEA 0183 leads of any NMEA 0183 devices which are presently interfaced to the C-Series Widescreen MFD's Power/Data/Video Input Cable will need to be disconnected from this cable and will instead be spliced to the corresponding leads of an Axiom Pro MFD's MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable. As the Axom MFDs do not feature a NMEA 0183 port, should the system not feature an Axiom Pro MFD, then it will instead be necessary to interface the NMEA 0183 device(s) to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 backbone to which the Data Master Axiom MFD has been interfaced as a spur. NMEA 0183 to SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 data bridging devices (ex. Actisense NGW-1-STNG, Actisense NGW-1-AIS, etc.) are available from third parties to support interfacing NMEA 0183 devices to systems featuring Axiom MFDs or Axiom Pro MFDs. Raymarine also offers the VHF NMEA 0183 to STng Converter Kit to support the needs of those simply needing to provide a VHF radio or SSB with GPS position data.
SEATALKNG/NMEA 2000: The SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications interface of Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs feature a DeviceNet (M) socket. Should the Data Master C-Series Widescreen MFD be interfaced as a spur to SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 backbone, then the Data Master Axiom MFD or Data Master Axiom Pro MFD may be interfaced to the SeaTalkng backbone via a SeaTalkng to DeviceNet Female adapter cable (A06045).
Satellite Weather/Radio: The initial release of LightHouse 3 software for Axiom MFDs did not include support for SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio. The LightHouse v3.3.170 software update added support for SiriusXM Satellite weather for Axiom MFDs which have been interfaced via Ethernet communications to a SR150 SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receiver. Legacy SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receivers will not be compatible Axiom MFDs. A future LightHouse 3 software update may add support for SiriusXM Satellite Radio features to Axiom MFDs which have been interfaced via Ethernet communications to a SR150 SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receiver.
Video Input: Both Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs support integration with compatible IP cameras. The C-Series Widescreen MFDs support video input from a single analog NTSC/PAL video source. Raymarine's Axiom Pro MFDs feature a communications interface supporting video input from a single analog NTSC/PAL video source via the MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable. Axiom MFD do not feature a communications interface supporting analog video input. However, it is possible to encode analog NTSC/PAL video to stream it to the MFD(s) via Ethernet communications ... please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject.
Thermal Camera: The C-Series Widescreen MFDs did not support displaying video from and controlling compatible FLIR and Raymarine branded thermal cameras from the MFD. Should a compatible Raymarine or FLIR branded thermal camera outputting NTSC/PAL video need to be added to the system, then it would be recommended that the new system feature an Axiom Pro MFD(s) if the MFD will be interfaced to FLIR M-Series or MD-Series Thermal Cameras. The video output of the thermal camera would then be interfaced to the video input socket of the Axiom Pro MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable. Should the system exclusively feature Axiom MFDs, then it would typically be recommended that a FLIR M132 or M232 Thermal Camera be installed. Alternatively, the video from the thermal camera may be encoded to be displayed on the Axiom MFDs. However, should the system not feature an Axiom Pro MFD, then it would be necessary to interface a Joystick Controller Unit (JCU) to the system to control the thermal camera.
Video Output: Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to repeat the MFD’s screen image on a TV.
FISHFINDER(s): Axiom DV MFDs, Axiom RV MFDs, Axiom Pro S, and Axiom Pro RVX MFDs each feature internal fishfinder circuitry. As all system resources are shared within a network of Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs, only one device (MFD or compatible sounder module) having the desired type of fishfinder sonar (RealVison3D, DownVision, SideVision, High CHIRP Conical, 1kW CHIRP, etc.) need be interfaced to the system. This means that only one, or possibly none, of the MFDs within the system need to have internal fishfinder sonar circuitry. When interfaced to a compatible transducer, and/or to another Axiom MFD or Axiom Pro MFD which has been interfaced to a compatible transducer, and/or to a CP100, CP200, CP370, CP450, or CP570 Fishfinder Sounder Module, which in turn has been interfaced to a compatible transducer the Axiom Pro MFD (as well as the other Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs which have been interfaced to it) will support the corresponding finder sonar features. Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs are not compatible with the DSM30, DSM300, CP300, or CP450C. It is recommended that transducers which had been interfaced to these products be interfaced to a CP370, CP470/CP570, or to an Axiom or Axiom Pro MFD having compatible internal fishfinder circuitry.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION: While the replacement of this equipment is well within the capabilities of those familiar with marine electronics equipment installation, there will be some cable splicing and cable chasing required.

[CA] Navionics roblem after software upgrade
I have a new (Dec 17) installation of Axiom Pro 12, a master and slave. A software upgrade (3.3) to interface XM Weather was done three weeks ago and I now have no marine detail in chart mode, no depths, markers, detail, etc. I found out the upgrade was done in the master, but the Navionics card was left in the slave during the software upgrade. Could this have wiped my card?, and if so, what are my next steps.

(DG) ACU-100 connection to backbone question
Currently planning my installation.
The ACU-100 will essentially be the last device on one end of the backbone.
The ACU-100 connects to Seatalk NG via screw terminals. Can I simply just cut the backbone cable, strip the wires and connect to the ACU-100 - adding a 220 ohm resistor at the terminal strip (across the signal connection - blue & white)?
This is electrically identical to adding a T with termination resistor and a drop cable.
Physically, it removes a ton of surplus cable and reduces the number of physical connections (reliability).
Just wanted to check in case there is something I don't know about.
Thank you,
Chris

I got a boat with displacement 25000 pounds, 11,33 metric tons. Orginal configuration was:
Autohelm type 300 12v coursecomputer
Autohelm ST60001 control head
Autohelm T2s linear drive mechanical
But its time to upgrade. So i got question. According to information mechanical linear drive Type 1 is desiged for boat up to 11.000 kg, and Type 2 for up to 15000.
My boat its slitly above 11.000, by 330kg completly loaded.
Price between ACU-200 and ACU-400 is 1000usd difference. So im looking advise, how strictly i should keep that values.
If ACU-200 would be enough for this boat, is it possible to AC-200 work with T2s drive. Power clutch connection.
Please Advise.

[CA] SonarChart vs. SonarChart Live
Hi,
I have just bought an Axiom 7DV and want to better understand how the downloaded SonarCharts from Navionics and my own logged data (SonarChart Live?) are handled and how they can be separated. I don't feel I can trust all data after reviewing them on some for me known places. It just looks like interpolated depths from the base chart and not based on measurements on many places.
I want to be able to at some places look at all SonarChart including my own loggings and on other places/occasions only look at my own logged depths. Is that possible?
In other words: If I download the SonarCharts from Navionics, is it be possible to just use my own logged depths as SonarCharts?
If I downloaded the SonarCharts onto my included Navionics+ card, is it possible to remove the downloaded SonarCharts completely from the card in order to just have my own logged depths together with the base charts displayed.
If so: Will I lose my already logged depths when I remove the downloaded SonarCharts?
Many related questions, but I hope you understand what I want to know before I download any SonarChart.
Regards,
Ken

Is there any plan to reinstate these features for LH3? Not having the ability to place a waypoint in the radar page could keep me from moving to the quantum 2.

[CA] A97 to Axiom 9RV Upgrade and additional new electronics
Hello!
First, thank you for the excellent advice on your forum. It has been very valuable to me.
I am planning to replace my A97 MFD with a new Axiom 9 RV, Part E70367-00-LNC. I’m also planning to add an Autopilot and Thermal Camera. I have attached a .pdf with the proposed schematic diagram, including both existing and proposed equipment.
Proposed equipment (not yet purchased) is shown with the Raymarine part number in bold. Other equipment is already installed. The P70R and EV-1 really are already installed even though the autopilot is not. The A97, to be retired, is not included on the schematic.
I would appreciate any overall advice or comments you might have when looking at the schematic. Nothing new is set in stone. In addition, I have a few questions to just make sure I’m on the right path:
1. My steering Cylinder is a SeaStar Model BA-125-7ATM, Part number HC5312. If I’ve done my research correctly, that’s 118 CC of volume. Could you let me know if I’ve chosen the autopilot parts (ACU-200 and Type I pump) wisely?
2. Could you please review my diagram and note the E66087 Airmar Sonar (already installed), and the A80488 Adaptor Cable (proposed) and advise if I’ve correctly selected the adaptor to allow me to connect to the new Axiom MFD?
3. I intend to put the new Axiom MFD where the A98 was. Have I selected the adaptor plate (E80526) wisely?
4. Can you confirm that the Legacy RMK9 keyboard will work with the new Axiom MFD?
5. The boat, unfortunately, has the house and port engine on the same battery bank. This can lead to a major voltage drop at the helm while starting the port engine. The MFD often resets during a start. Per one of you excellent FAQs, I am intending to install a Newmar Nav Pac (NP-12) 12 Volt DC UPS. By checking the specifications for each component, I have estimated the draw of all electronics on the schematic except the Fusion System and ACU-200 at about 11 amps (With 6 of that coming from the VHF transmitting at high power). The NP-12 is capable of handling 15 amps. I intend to connect all electronics via the NP-12, except the Fusion System and ACU-200, because the ACU-200’s maximum draw of 15 amps, in addition to other equipment, might blow the NP-12’s fuse.
a. Does my selection of the NP-12 seem like a good idea to you?
b. Is my estimate of 11 Amps reasonable?
c. Do you have any thoughts on my intention to exclude the ACU-200? Should I be considering an additional NP-12 just for the ACU-200?
d. Is there any way to power the “logic” of the ACU-200 from the NP-12, but use “raw” power to actually drive the hydraulic pump?
Again, thank you very much!

First, thank you for the excellent advice on your forum. It has been very valuable to me.
I am planning to replace my A97 MFD with a new Axiom 9 RV, Part E70367-00-LNC. I’m also planning to add an Autopilot and Thermal Camera. I have attached a .pdf with the proposed schematic diagram, including both existing and proposed equipment.
Proposed equipment (not yet purchased) is shown with the Raymarine part number in bold. Other equipment is already installed. The P70R and EV-1 really are already installed even though the autopilot is not. The A97, to be retired, is not included on the schematic.
I would appreciate any overall advice or comments you might have when looking at the schematic. Nothing new is set in stone. In addition, I have a few questions to just make sure I’m on the right path:
1. My steering Cylinder is a SeaStar Model BA-125-7ATM, Part number HC5312. If I’ve done my research correctly, that’s 118 CC of volume. Could you let me know if I’ve chosen the autopilot parts (ACU-200 and Type I pump) wisely?
2. Could you please review my diagram and note the E66087 Airmar Sonar (already installed), and the A80488 Adaptor Cable (proposed) and advise if I’ve correctly selected the adaptor to allow me to connect to the new Axiom MFD?
3. I intend to put the new Axiom MFD where the A98 was. Have I selected the adaptor plate (E80526) wisely?
4. Can you confirm that the Legacy RMK9 keyboard will work with the new Axiom MFD?
5. The boat, unfortunately, has the house and port engine on the same battery bank. This can lead to a major voltage drop at the helm while starting the port engine. The MFD often resets during a start. Per one of you excellent FAQs, I am intending to install a Newmar Nav Pac (NP-12) 12 Volt DC UPS. By checking the specifications for each component, I have estimated the draw of all electronics on the schematic except the Fusion System and ACU-200 at about 11 amps (With 6 of that coming from the VHF transmitting at high power). The NP-12 is capable of handling 15 amps. I intend to connect all electronics via the NP-12, except the Fusion System and ACU-200, because the ACU-200’s maximum draw of 15 amps, in addition to other equipment, might blow the NP-12’s fuse.
a. Does my selection of the NP-12 seem like a good idea to you?
b. Is my estimate of 11 Amps reasonable?
c. Do you have any thoughts on my intention to exclude the ACU-200? Should I be considering an additional NP-12 just for the ACU-200?
d. Is there any way to power the “logic” of the ACU-200 from the NP-12, but use “raw” power to actually drive the hydraulic pump?
Again, thank you very much!

[CA] axiom 9 versus axiom 9 pro
i just recently installed the RV-220 transducers on my 30' pursuit express. i use the boat for fishing. i am replacing my A series with then new axiom, i am leaning towards the pro. i am also looking at the possibility of upgrading the radar, i have the rd418d model. i am unsure if it will be compatible with the axiom and or axiom pro. my budget is limited as i initially was only going to replace the a series, but then when the boat bottom was being painted i started the upgrade.
obviously radar's main use is safety, but i have heard it can be used to locate flocks of birds. i have looked for user manuals on the radar units and cannot find them, even the new blurb on the raymarine website about finding birds does not list any models or any other sort of link to direct you to a product line etc.
thus i am asking two questions, going forward if i decide or need to upgrade the radar, is there a difference in the axiom versus the axiom pro and which radar domes have the capability to detect birds, its is my understanding that higher power open aray is best. but can my rd418d locate them? or what other lower priced models would be best suited to do so with the upcoming purchase of the new axiom model i will be soon getting.
thanks in advance

[CA] upgrading to AxiomPro 9
I will be upgrade a system on a 43 ft. sailboat in May. (see attached system drawing)I will be replacing the two e95 units in the drawing. One item that is not shown in the drawing is the e95 at the helm is connect to a 30 inch flat screen below using the e95 video out connection.
I have several question:
1. Does the Axiom Pro support the SR100 weather only black boxes?
2. Does the Axiom Pro support the Fusion 750 radio connected to the Ethernet network?
3. What is the part number for the devicenet to Seatalkng cable that will connect to the AxiomPro to the Seatalkng 5 way.
4. Does the Navionic chip have to be installed in the master or can it be in the slave unit?
5. Does the wifi to HDMI ( Miracast) feature have to be setup on the master or can this be setup on the slave. The reason for this question is because the slave is down below about 10 feet from the TV.
Please review the drawing attached to identify any items that may not be support at this time or in the future. I am hopeful that dropping the AxiomPro 9 units into this system will all just work.

[CA] Axiom 9 / Navionics + Card
I have installed the Axiom 9 (Model 18078087) with Navionics + North American Charts. I had purchased it with the EV-150 Autopilot from West Marine. I went through the set-up, as well as the update via WiFi.
The Axiom came with a Navionics + Bundle MSD/EB-3/R3. The card does not for the slot in the back of the unit. I searched all of the install and user documents I could find any procedure on the installation of the card.
Q1: Do I have the correct Navionics card?
Q2: Where /how do I install the card in the Axiom 9?
Thanks, Dave
