Engine data on E97 from Crusaders?

$

0
Hi I just bought a new (used) Tiara with 454xl Crusaders, it had the E97 already installed, but nothing is displayed for Engine data, how do/can I get this to work?

Do I need to get an ECI-100?

It doesn't say Crusaders on it, I assume this would connect to the ODB port(s)?

Thanks.

Latter software releases for the A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs, C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs, and GPM400 added the Autopilot Control feature to these MFDs. The Autopilot Control feature permitted the MFD to command a compatible Raymarine autopilot into Auto, Track, or Standby modes. Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs additionally include support for the Autopilot Control feature. The Autopilot Control feature of the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs additionally support Dodge commands (+/-1 & +/-10 heading changes) as well as autopilot set-up capability for Raymarine Evolution autopilots. Please note that the Autopilot Control feature of Raymarine MFDs is exclusively supported in conjunction with compatible Raymarine autopilots which have been interfaced to the MFD via SeaTalk or SeaTalkng communications protocol. Raymarine's Autopilot Control feature is not compatible with third party autopilots. Raymarine's Autopilot Control feature is additionally not compatible with Raymarine autopilots which have been interfaced to the Raymarine system via NMEA 0183 communications protocol. When one of the above listed MFDs operating with the latest available software has been interfaced to a Raymarine autopilot via NMEA 0183 communications protocol or to compatible third party autopilots, it may be possible to have the autopilot track to a waypoint or follow a route. However, control of the autopilot with respect to commanding the autopilot into Auto, Track, and Standby modes must be accomplished via the autopilot's control head.

Raymarine MFD software which supports the Autopilot Control feature also includes a PILOT (autopilot) icon included within the Transducer Status data item displayed within the MFD's Databar. A red X will be superimposed over this icon when any of the following conditions exist:
- the Autopilot Control feature has been configured OFF (A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs, C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs, and GPM400)
- a third party autopilot has been interfaced to the Raymarine system
- a Raymarine autopilot has been interfaced to the Raymarine system via NMEA 0183 communications protocol
- an incompatible Raymarine autopilot has been interfaced to the Raymarine system
- communications between a compatible Raymarine autopilot and the MFD is not occurring ... it is recommended that troubleshooting begin with verification that the SeaTalkng backbone and autopilot have both been powered ON.

How a Dragonfly display be interfaced to my VHF radio

$

Unlike Raymarine's MFDs, Dragonfly displays do not feature communications interfaces. Accordingly, it would not be possible to interface a Dragonfly display to another marine electronics product (ex. VHF radio, etc.). Those seeking to have Dragonfly's embedded CHIRP (conical) sonar / DownVision sonar and chartplotting capability in a product which additionally features communications interfaces would be advised to consider an ax8 a-Series MFD or an eSx8 eS-Series MFD.

Those seeking to add a GPS sensor (ex. Raystar 130 GPS Sensor, etc.) to a vessel to support providing GPS data to a DSC VHF radio would be advised to seek a GPS sensor having communications interface matching that of the VHF radio to simplify interfacing the products to one another. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how a Raystar 130 GPS Sensor or an a-Series MFD lacking a NMEA 0183 communications interface may in turn be interfaced to a DSC VHF radio requiring GPS data from a source supporting 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 communications.

Hi, my new (used) Tiara came with an E97 MFD and a Si-Tex Sp-70 autopilot, I understand these can be connected together via NMEA.

My questions are:

1. Where do I get this cable?
2. What will it do for me? Will the Waypoints I enter be sent to the Autopilot so it follows them?

Thanks.

Es series 127 vs 128 MFD and sonar

$

It is my understanding that the difference between the eS127 and eS128 is 600W Digital Sonar vs Down vision sonar being built in.

1. Can both the 127 and 128 support either 600W digital or down vision by merely selecting and installing the appropriate transducer, or is that choice made exclusively by selecting either the model 127 or 128?

2. Will both the 127 and 128 also support displaying the older ST50+ depth readings when properly connected through either 0183 or seatalk NG if no new transducer is selected at this time.

I have a A68 unit with a CPT100 transducer on my boat and I am wondering if I can add a CP100 sounder module to help my get a better image and also hold bottom better while moving? Is this possible or is there a better way to get more out of the A68?

The eS77 was announced with the eS97 and eS127 but it doesn't seem to be available in the marketplace. I already have an eS128 and would like to complement it with an eS77 at a second helm station. Is it merely late to market or was it stillborn?

Thanks.

CP200 Side Vision sonar, shallow water

$

Can the CP200 be used on a full keel displacement sailboat?

Our primary interest in this technology would be used during the entering of coral or rock reef passes, usually in shallow water between 10 and 20 feet of water depth.

Will the side vision perform in shallow waters between between 10 and 20 feet and still provide images on the side, and if so to what distance?

Our concern is that the visual spread on each side is dependent upon the depth of the water.

Internal GPS of eS 127

Assuming the eS127 MFD had an open view of the sky, would the internal GPS function well without the need for an external G150 antenna?

We are looking at using a GA150 external GPS antenna with an eS127 MFD. The antenna comes with a single 10m cable and says it can be extended by 10m.

Can you please provide the info or point me in the right direction on how to extend this cable.

I would like to display various temps on my a98, for example, engine room, fridge, inside cabin temp, outside etc. Most of this data is in PGN 130310 and 13011 but does the MFD support displaying this different data or is it only able to show outside ambient temperature?

Interface Wireless Instgruments with Seatalk

Several years ago I assembled a system on my sailboat which included a provision which allowed me to connect my wireless wind instrument to the Seatalk ng network. It involved an interface to a wireless interface box that output to an NMEA 0183 connection. The NMEA output went to a non-Raymarine 0183 dongle which output Seatalk ng. Is that still the workaround?

I have a new boat and would like a similar setup.

Transducer compatibility?

New to this site, was directed here from THT by CME, hope I can get some help.
I replaced a c80 coupled with a DSM250 with a e80/ DSM300 connected together with eternet cable. I am getting a no signal message when using the sounder. I know it was functioning with the older system. Will a thru hull transducer used with the DSM250 work with a DSM300? I so any suggestions as to what to check, beyond the connections since I have checked and re-checked those several times?

Adding a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD(s) to a system featuring a C-Series Classic MFD

$

Unfortunately, C-Series Classic MFDs (C70, C80, C120) may not be interfaced to an Ethernet (SeaTalkhs/RayNet) network which also features a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs (note the difference in the case of the letters used within these model names). While it is possible to interface the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs to a common SeaTalkng backbone featuring a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter to which C-Series Classic MFDs have also been interfaced, communications would be limited to alphanumeric, GPS, instrument, navigational, and system status data between these systems. Correspondingly, it is not possible for C-Series Classic MFDs to share graphical data such as cartography, radar, fishfinder, or Sirius Marine Weather, etc. with an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD.

Should full functionality dual station or multi-station capability be desired, then it would be necessary to replace the C-Series Classic MFDs with a complete suite of a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs. Any combination a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs may be installed within an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD network.

Raymarine offers the following mounting kit accessories (R70010 (C/E80 Classic MFDs) R70011 (C/E120 Classic MFDs) to adapt C/E-Series Classic MFD Raymarine flush mount cutouts for use with the new c/e-Series MFDs. Raymarine has not produced similar mounting kits for replacing C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs with a/eS/gS-Series MFDs. These kits include a mounting plate to be installed over the existing mounting surface and a bezel and suncover to replace those packaged with the MFDs.

Unable to update product's software via SeaTalkng backbone

$
0
0
Occasionally when performing software updates via a MFD to devices which have been interfaced to one another via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone, one or more of the devices will fail to update. Generally, this problem may be addressed by simply performing the software update procedure to devices a second time. Should the second attempt to perform the software update also fail, then it would be advised that
1) all spurs except for the MFD's spur and the device's spur be disconnected from the SeaTalkng backbone, and
2) that the software update then be attempted again.

Should the problem persist thereafter, then it would be recommended that the device(s) which failed to receive the software update be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked and to have the software update(s) performed.

I have a 2003 Ablemarle with a older C80 system with radar and Smart pilot auto pilot system.
The autopilot works flawlessly and I don't want to change a thing. I do want to update the graph and radar and was wondering if I can do this while keeping the same auto pilot?
