I have a ST800-P120 transducer for my ST60 instruments on my 35'sailboat. I have noticed that there is a low speed paddlewheel available (part #:A28106).

Is this a worthwhile upgrade for low speed accuracy?

Raystar 130 not recognized

It has been a long battle, but I have my e9 as master, e12 as slave. Quantum Radardome and a B744 transducer. the system works great although it is hard to get to connect to wifi. Anyway, a key component of the system is a RAYSTAR 130 GPS antenna. I have the cable run down to the e9 (Master) and plugged into the Sea Talk plug on back of the MFD. However, it is not being recognized, so I am using the internal gps from the e 12.

Does this have to run through the spout cable, ,which is independently powered to be recognized or is there power running through the STN plug on the back of the display and I have other issues? Thank You

Connecting st60 wind, speed and depth to es75

Hi all.
I'm new here and just bought a used boat, so I'm not very familiar with all technical details. Boat came with st60 instruments that are all connected together by Seatalk 1 cables. I'm installing brand new mfd es75, so my question is:
Can I connect those Seatalk 1 instruments to new mfd es75 just using one Seatalk 1 to Seatalk cable (an old plug on one side and new plug on the other), if I connected it straight from one vacant Seatalk plug on st60 to a Seatalk plug on es75? Will instruments be seen on mcd?
I appreciate any help.

Good Morning

I am unable to connect the E7D with latest v17 (downloaded and updated 1 week ago) to my Android's hotspot. I've tried both encrypted and open connections. At same time my Android tablet sees the hotspot.

It does see and can connect to my Linksys router.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replacing a C-Series Classic MFD with an E-Series Classic MFD

August 17, 2016, 8:18 am

It is indeed possible to replace a C-Series Classic MFD with an E-Series Classic MFD.

Power, radar, NMEA 0183: The Power, radar, NMEA 0183 cables which may be interfaced to the C-Series Classic MFD will simply be unplugged and then connected to the corresponding sockets of the E-Series Classic MFD.

SeaTalk: Should the C-Series Classic MFD be interfaced to a SeaTalk bus, then the SeaTalk cable will be unplugged from the C-Series Classic MFD's SeaTalk port, will then be spliced to the E-Series Classic MFD's SeaTalk/Alarm Cable.

Fishfinding: E-Series Classic MFDs are not compatible with DSM250 Digital Sounder Modules. Should one presently be installed onboard, then it would need to be replaced with a CP370 Sounder Module ... the CP370 is compatible with transducers designed for use with the DSM250. Should the C-Series Classic MFD presently be interfaced to a DSM30/300, then it will be necessary to replace the communications cable connecting these products with a cable assembly constructed from a SeaTalkHS Crossover Coupler and a pair of SeaTalkHS cables of appropriate length.

NMEA 2000: Should the C-Series Classic MFD presently be interfaced to a NMEA 2000 backbone, then the spur cable will need to be unplugged from the MFD's SeaTalk2/NMEA 2000 port and then spliced to an E-Series to SeaTalkng Spur Adapter Cable ... simply match the colors of each cable's leads.

Sirius Satellite Weather/Radio: E-Series Classic MFDs are not compatible with SR50 Sirius Satellite Weather/Radio Receivers. Should one presently be installed onboard, then it will need to be replaced with a SR150 SiriusXM Satellite Weather / Radio Receiver. The E-Series Classic MFD wil be interfaced to the SR150 SiriusXM Satellite Weather / Radio Receiver via a cable assembly constructed from a SeaTalkHS Crossover Coupler an appropiate length of SeaTalkHS Cable, and an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) Cable.

Mounting depth: Please note that should the C-Series Classic MFD be mounted in a pod, then it may be necessary to replace the pod with one designed for use with an E-Series Classic MFD, as the mounting depth of the E-Series Classic MFDs is greater than that of the C-Series Classic MFDs.

Can two devices having SeaTalkng interfaces by a single spur cable?

August 17, 2016, 8:42 am

Devices having SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 communications interfaces are designed to communicate with one another via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone. Each device having a SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 communications interface should be individually interfaced to the spur socket within the backbone. When interfacing Raymarine MFDs to a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone, the Data Master MFD must be interfaced as a spur to the backbone. While it is permissible to interface non-Data Master MFDs to a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone, non-Data Master MFD(s) will not communicate with the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone.

A simple backbone may be constructed from the following components:

- A06064 SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06031 SeaTalkng Termination Plugs x 2
- A06049 SeaTalkng Power Cable
- a pair of SeaTalkng Spur Cables of appropriate length to interface the two devices having SeaTalkng communications interfaces.

Speed through water value is not accurate across range of boat speeds

August 17, 2016, 11:47 am

As speed through water sensors have non-linear error associated with them, greatest speed through water accuracy will be achieved with instruments supporting multi-point speed calibration (ex. i70S Multifunction Instrument Displays, etc.) in contrast to instruments supporting single point speed calibration (ex. i40 Speed/Bidata, i50 Speed/Tridata Instruments, etc.). Should an i40 Speed/Bidata or i50 Speed/Tridata Instrument be installed onboard the vessel, then speed will be most accurate when the boat's actual speed through water matches that which the instrument was calibrated at. Accordingly, should the vessel be used in a performance manner (ex. racing, etc.), then it would be recommended that an i70S Multifunction Instrument w/iTC-5 Analog Instrument Converter be interfaced to the speed through water transducer. Should the vessel be used in more leisure oriented manner (ex. cruising, day sailing, etc.), then it would be recommended that an i40 Speed/Bidata or i50 Speed/Tridata Instrument be interfaced to the speed through water transducer.

Hi Tech Support. Please let me know if there is any setting that would have changed the volume on my 2 station ray240 vhf that is now causing the ext speaker volume to be much lower than it ever was, and, there is sound from BOTH the speaker AND the handset at the same time? This has not done this before someone was messing with the vhf last week. Thanks so much.

EV1 FAILING

Hello
I have 2xi70, p70, EV1, ACU and a E120classic.
The system has worked well for 2 seasons but recently my course computer has been playing up.
The compass offset is all over the place.
I align compass to gps audit holds for a while but appears to wander off after any heading change.
I have checked and there is no no new pieces of metal anywhere near the EV 1 location.
The system switches from mag to true all by itself.
To me its like i am getting erratic deviation or variation inputs for no reason, is there a solution or do i need the EV1 replaced?

As an aside, i installed a Ray70 last winter, i get AIS contacts on my I70 but nothing on my E120, the symbol for AIS has a red line through it - do i have a compatibility problem?

thank you
Ian

Rudder Reference and an SPX

August 17, 2016, 12:16 pm

The following is an unpublished feature of the SPX Autopilot Course Computers:

If the SPX Autopilot Course Computer is powered up and the rudder reference transducer (RR) is hard over, the autopilot will ignore the RR. The RR is +/-55 degrees when not hooked up and the RR indicator on my ST70 is only +/-30 degrees. So when you power up the system the RR must be within the +/-55 degrees in order for the unit to use the RR, and really should be within +/-30 degrees for proper display.

This is normally not an issue if properly installed first, but if testing prior to installing this is really important, as the RR is spring loaded and will always be hard over past the 55 degree point and will cause the SPX to ignore the RR. So you must hold the RR in the middle in order for it to power up correctly and be seen.

Wireless T101 System - No Wind Displayed

August 17, 2016, 1:40 pm

Hi,

I installed a T101 wireless wind system about a month ago and successfully auto-networked it with an existing RaceMaster. This provided me with AWA and AWS on the Analogue Display as well as apparent wind data on the RaceMaster.

This setup worked until I tried to introduce a hull transmitter for true wind (wired into my existing ST60 transducer) into the system.

Once the hull transmitter had a chance to charge, I re-ran the auto-network process, the new hull transmitter was found by the RaceMaster (the chosen display), everything seemed fine and as I was on a mooring I decided I would test the speed and true wind integration another day...

Upon my next return to the boat, the wind display would no longer display any wind data...wind display pages show "--" and cannot seem to find the wind transducer. When I enter the health pages on both the MN-100 wireless display or the RaceMaster, no wind transducer is found.

I removed the hull transmitter (physically and at a distance) from the system and re-ran the auto-networking process with no success.

Please provide any assistance possible to try and remedy this situation as the next step is a trip up the mast to remove the wireless wind transducer.

Thanks

How do you get Theyr GRIB service via iridium Go!

Hi, I've subscribed to Raymarine's Theyr GRIB service, which works well for me via my ES128 in coastal (read LTE) range. I'm about to head offshore, so can can you provide instructions on how to get my ES128 MFD (current lighthouse release) to play nice with my IridiumGO! over wifi so I can use the Theyr service offshore? I've given it a go (MFD can connect to the iridium GO!) but cant either detect / initiate or use an active 'internet call'. I'm aware that the iridium GO! link is extremely slow (1-2Kbps) and most ports on the iridiumGO! are blocked by default. Please help.

i50 add to seatalkng/nmea2000 network

I have a mixed nmea/seatalkng network with an a75, DST800 smart transducer and several othere devices. I was thinging of adding the i50 with the P79 three wire tansducer as a reduntent depth device. I would also like to connect the i50 to the nmea2000/seatalkng network so that the depth information would be avaiable on the a75 as well. The i50 may be the depth or the tridata depending what data I want to display. The reason for this plan if the nmea/seatalkng network crashes which it did last week because of a bad device I will still have depth information on the i50 from the P79. Will this plan work.

Is there a way to either disable the arrival alarm or lower the frequency of it? My high frequency hearing is shot, and I don't even hear it. One of the crew usually has to tell me to turn it off.

i50, i60 primaries with i40 repeaters

I'm planning an electronics upgrade for our sailboat this Fall. The boat has two cockpits and I want the i50/i60 bundle plus a close-hauled display as my primary instruments in the working cockpit and two i40's as depth and speed repeaters in the forward cockpit. If I connect everything together per the following, can I get all of the instruments connected and still have one extra blue end for expansion for MFD and autopilot in the future? Port 1- Power. Port 2- Two i50's (with transducers connected to them) linked by a SeaTalk cable, then another SeaTalk cable to connect the pair to the converter. Port 3- i60 (wind with masthead transducer connected to it), linked by a SeaTalk cable to the i60 Close-Hauled display, then then another SeaTalk cable to connect the pair to the converter. Port 4- Two i40 repeater instruments (with no transducers) linked together by SeaTalk cable, then another SeaTalk cable to connect the pair to the converter. That should leave me Port 5 for an elbow spur cable to connect to a future ST1-STng converter for an MFD and autopilot. Is this too many instruments for the first converter bus and will the transducer data fed directly to a connected display be usable by the repeaters and by the i60 for True Wind calculation? I have attached a diagram for those that may be lost by my description.

Thank you, in advance, for your time and attention.

The radar shuts down for no reason, then it will not reconnect unless the switch on the radar is turned off then back on. I upgraded the software to 17.45 and the guts of the radar has been sent in to Raymarine and the entire base was also sent in on a second try, your technical repair person found nothing wrong with it either time. I purchased the SHD Radar and a C125 this past February. It has never worked.

New Evolution AP Seatalk questions

August 18, 2016, 9:17 pm

I just purchesed an EV-200 autopilot and have some questions regarding seatalk.
1. Can I plug the backbone cable directly into the EV-1 or do I have to use a T connector?
2. I want to tie my C90W into the AP system. It has a STng port so I should be able to connect it in. It is in the overhead so I will need around 20ft of ST cable. Are there issues with using a cable that long?
3. The C90W has its own power source. Are there any issues with power connecting to the ST network?

I am looking forward to using the new AP

Tide Arrow not displayed on a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD

August 19, 2016, 8:02 am

The Tide Arrow of an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD may be configured ON/OFF via the command sequence MENU->PRESENTATION->VECTORS->TIDE ARROW from within the Chart application page/pane being viewed. As the Tide Arrow is the vector sum of the through water and over ground vectors, the following data items must all be available to the system to calculate and plot the tide arrow:
- latitude
- longitude
- SOG
- COG
- Heading
- Speed (through water)

The software of earlier Raymarine MFD designs will plot the Tide Arrow when supplied with this same data. However, these MFDs would erroneously plot a Tide Arrow which was simply the MFDs over ground vector, when no heading or Speed data was present within the system.
