[DG] replacing ST50's with I-series

$
0
0
Hi

Have read on the forum that the old St50's can be replaced with i50's, retaining existing transducers (check compatibility) and can be connected to the Seatalk1 network using adapter cables. My instruments are the older versions with round plugs, not the "banana" shaped plugs on St60's. Can the i50's be linked to these also?

Hi,

My name is Felipe, I am engeneer of Marine Express Brazil and we are Distributor of Raymarine. I have a question about autopilot, Could you help me?

We have a client with a problem and we could not find any reference about this error, the client has a simple system installed, 1 MFD E127, GPS antenna RS130 and SPX-30 autopilot.

The problem is the GPS work intermittent when the autopilot is plugged on seatalkNG network. Usually the GPS works 30 minutes and lose the signal, we tested the internal and external GPS without sucess. We updated all the system and didn't work.
Our techniccian unplugged the autopilot from seatalkNG and the GPS work properly.
Is there something to do to try solv this problem?

Please see attached the picture of error.

I hope your answer

Best regards

Felipe

Hi. As question title, this raystar 125 with a new battery works perfectly running in seatalk through a c120, but shows no led lights at all, and no fix, running on the same seatalk cable, through an rl70c. Can you advise what the problem might be?

Just received my autopilot and stumped out of the box. With regard to the ACU-100 and the Seatalk ng screw terminal next to the rudder terminal am I to understand, I have to cut one of the sealed plug connections off the black and blue backbone Seatalk ng cable and lay bare the five wires within the backbone cable so I can individually attach each wire to the screws at the Seatalk ng five screw terminal?

I'm sure that you are working on this but I just wanted to post a link for you and all forum members to review. This is a Facebook group of end user consumers that are advocating implementation of security features on MFD's. I hope that Raymarine takes the lead on this. The name of the facebook group is:

(Marine Electronics Industry) Stop the GPS Thefts!

You can search for this group on Facebook

Many many letters have been sent to manufacturers and posted on the page.
Please review and take the lead.
Thanks you,

[CA11] GPS data to p70Rs autopilot control head

$
0
0
I have the new autopilot Evolution 150 kit with a p70Rs autopilot control head. I would like to use the features that GPS gives. The auto turning, fishing patterns circle etc.. Anyway my GPS fishfinder/head is only an NMEA 0183. It has a simple GPS data + and - that it. It is connected to my VHF radio and work good giving it GPS info.

1. can I use this and pipe the info into the backbone of the seatalkng, or do I need the newer version of the NMEA 2000.

I'm completely in the weeds here. I need a reliable system as I am a charter captain and need this to work well not just ok.

The evolution 150 is awesome by the way.

[CA11] AIS for Older E55067 10m (2kW Only) - E55067 15m (2kW Only)

I have an older E55067 10m (2kW Only) radar cable in my mast hooked to a M92650 scanner displaying on a RL70 radar/chartplotter. I am looking to upgrade to a C/E-Series Classic MFD and to M92650-S 2D or E52079 RD218 scanner. What I am hoping to also display is AIS on chart with radar. Will C/E-Series Classic MFDs be able to show AIS? And is the compatibility logical for the rest?

I need to replace the radar on our boat which has a 2008 E120 MFD with a high speed switch on the network. Is the Raymarine RD424HD 4kW HD Digital Radome compatible with it? If it is what cables do I need for the mast, and commenting through the deck to the nav station. I hope someone can help me.

[CA11] upgrading I-70

$

When I purchased my boat, the previous owner left behind a i-70 unit. Now, I see why he didn't bother to have it installed. I have a nice E-127 chart plotter. With an ST5000+ autopilot, ST60 wind, auto helm tridata ST60.
With plenty of on line searching I thought, with a ITC-5 I would be all set. Yet, both come with spur cables and no backbone. My question is what instruments will I need to get in order to upgrade?
Thanks

[CA11] "Download has halted..."

Hello Raymarine!

Its been a while :) I re-purchased a Lighthouse chart set (NOAA Raster East US) and added the NV Caribbean charts to my purchase last night. The Lighthouse Installer ap starts up OK, I enter my ID & password OK, it then shows the two chart sets correctly. I selected and downloaded the NOAA charts to my card last night, but when I selected the NV charts, the ap errored out with "Download has halted due to a loss of Network connection". It was late, so I gave up and tried again this morning.

This morning I decided I should make sure I had the latest version, so I downloaded 1.2.2.3 and installed it, restarting my laptop. This ap, however shows the same error when I try to download the NV chartset.

I'm in a marina [Bald Head Island, NC] using their wifi, and it seems to be working fine otherwise. Other details, in case they matter: e95 running V19.03 (the latest & last), micro SD card that I've been using for many years (and which is working fine in the MFD) with more than 8 GB of free space.

Is there some peculiarity with my setup that is causing this error? Why did the NOAA download work OK?

Thanks!

[CA11] eS128 running LH3 barometric/fishing maps stutters

$
0
0
I am running LH3 v3.70.7 with a Navionics 960+ card on the eS128.

All seems fine, except for when activating the barometric/fishing detailed maps. It takes 2-3+ minutes to load the chart and often times only portions of the chart load. I do have a lot of sonar chart live tracks that were created on an older e125 Series (prior to the eS128) on this same Navionics card that I am now using for the eS128 and it also have a good amount of lsd-cache on it.

I used to run LH2 on the e125 with a side by side barometric and detailed Navionics+ without performance issues (map load probably took 10-20seconds).

Before trying things out with all user data removed from the Navionics card (again: I have quite a bit of sonarchart-live data on the card), I wonder if there is a known issue running barometric/fishing charts with LH3 on the eS128.

[CA11] Axiom STW

We just installed an Axiom 12 RV on a customer's boat. The system includes a T70318 RV212 pair, an A80492 Y-cable and an A66091 (B744V). The problem is trying to display STW. The STW shows "0.0". I switch the transducer selection to the B744V it still shows "0.0". When I go back to the transducer selection I see that the transducer has reverted back to the RV212. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

[CA11] RD218 passes all diagnostics but shows no image on c120

$

Thanks for your previous instruction Chuck.

My RD218 on the c120 shows no image (perhaps a tiny speckle of a few pixels where there is land), but seems to pass all self tests and diagnostics...(at least, there are no 'fails' and no '0's where there shouldn't be, but whether the values that are present are within specification, i wouldn't know). The same radome shows a much better, albeit somewhat blocky image when connected to rl70c (separate system: I know that the rl70c is not compatible with c120), but I can't run diagnostics on this mfd, as I can't find how to in the manual (can you advise?). The radome rotates and is recognized by c120, passes all diagnostics, no problems apparent at all, except no image.

How can it apparently pass all self-tests, but show no image on the c120?

I am aware that this same problem is mentioned on the raymarine.ning pages, but none of their links seem to work anymore, and this problem always seems to be associated with at least one or two display based 'fails' on the diagnostics page, which makes me think maybe the problem might be me, not the radome...

Many thanks for your expert advice.

Hi I have a S1000 that works great but the remote is getting old now and would like the security of a hard wired controller . Is it possible via the sea talk connection to use a conventional controller like a ST6002 or a more modern ST70R to control the autopilot

Thanks Brett

[CA11] e7 not seeing AIS & autopilot

$

I have the following:

e7 (v. 17.46)
E120 (v. 2.65)
P70R autopilot control head
ACU 200 autopilot actuator control unit
AIS650
ST60 depth/speed display
ST30 depth/speed display
RS130 antenna

All connected to seatalk backbone (I don't know if I'm using correct terminology, but all of the newer items are connected with a seatalk backbone cable, older units with the old style seatalk cable)

E120 see everything (depth, speed, AIS, autopilot control)
also sees GPS antenna from e7
e7 sees depth, speed, course/wpt info from the E12, but
does not show AIS does not see autopilot or heading

I posted on this over a year ago and got sidetracked, but am trying again to get it working. In the earlier post someone said I needed to go back to an earlier software version on the e7 for it to work with my AIS and autopilot.

So my questions now are:

* Can I make the e7 operate the autopilot?
* Can I make the e7 display AIS info?
* What kind of radar can I add that will overlay on both units (if any)?

or

do I just need to replace the E120 with a newer version to plays better with the e7?

I attached a few pics to the post for reference, but they will not 'insert into post'.

[LW11] AIS 700 software update

$

Im wanting to do the new software update, as my AIS 700 has stoped interfacing with my c120 plotter and one off the issues that the update is fixing is the same alert that im getting (No Sensor Position), the issue im having is actually doing the update. The instructions on website say to use a sd card or micro sd card, but can find the slot for card on the AIS unit, the instructions manually talks about other methods one being PC, which i can do, but when the PC and the AIS are interfacing i can not find any to do the update.
So question is how do you update the AIS700?
