Interfacing a stereo head unit to a MFD running LightHouse 3 software
Raymarine Axiom/Axiom Pro and eS/gS-Series MFDs running LightHouse 3 v3.4.66 software are designed and tested for use with compatible Rockford Fosgate and Fusion marine entertainment systems having a NMEA 2000 communications interface. Please see Chapter 15.1 Audio app overview of the LightHouse 3.4 Advanced Operation Instructions for the list of Fusion and Rockford Fosgate entertainment system which have been tested and are supported for use with Raymarine MFDs running LightHouse 3 software. While Fusion 7xx Series True Marine stereo head units are manufactured with both Ethernet and NMEA 2000 communications interfaces, Raymarine Axiom/Axiom Pro and eS/gS-Series MFDs running LightHouse 3.4.6 software may only be interfaced to these marine entertainments systems via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. A simple SeaTalkng backbone may be constructed from the following components:
- A06064 SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06031 SeaTalkng Termination Plugs x 2
- A06049 SeaTalkng Power Cable ... connected to 12VDC power circuit protected with a 5A fuse
- Fusion accessory unpowered NMEA 2000 Connection Cable ... not required for Fusion stereo head unit NMEA 2000 Cables terminated with a DeviceNet (M) plug
- A06045 0.4m SeaTalkng to DeviceNet (F) Adapter or A06075 1m SeaTalkng to DeviceNet (F) Adapter ... to be connected between the above listed unpowered Fusion NMEA 2000 Accessory Cable or the marine entertainment system's NMEA 2000 DeviceNet (M) plug and a spur socket of the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- Axiom/Axiom Pro Data Master MFD: A06045 0.4m SeaTalkng to DeviceNet (F) Adapter or A06075 1m SeaTalkng to DeviceNet (F) Adapter
- eS/gS-Series Data Master MFD: an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable to interface the MFD to a spur socket of the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector.
