When operating with the latest software updates A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs feature limited NMEA 2000 support. These products are compatible with NMEA 2000 engines, and some NMEA 2000 sensors (ex. fuel flow sensors, tank level sensors, etc.). Raymarine does not maintain lists of NMEA 2000 engine makes/models as this information is continuously changing and outside of the control of Raymarine. As such, it is recommended that one contact the engine manufacturer with the engine information (model, serial number, etc.) to determine whether the engine(s) features NMEA 2000 support. When interfacing Raymarine equipment to a NMEA 2000 engine(s), the Raymarine equipment must not be interfaced directly to the engine manufacturer’s network backbone. Instead, the engine manufacturer's network backbone must be interfaced to the engine manufacturer’s NMEA 2000 gateway (ex. Mercury MercMonitor, Volvo engine gateway, Yamaha engine gateway, etc.), should one be available.
Raymarine's A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs do not feature support for multiple instances of any one type of data (engine and tank level data are are excepted from this limitation).
To interface the engine(s), a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng network backbone must be installed onboard having SeaTalkng T-Pieces (SeaTalkng 5-way connectors may be substituted where NMEA 2000 devices are closely located) for each NMEA 2000 device (i.e. engines, sensors, data master MFD, etc.) which will be interfaced as a spur to the NMEA 2000 network backbone. E-Series Classic MFDs may be interfaced to the backbone using the A06061 E-Series Classic MFD Adapter Cable. C-Series Classic MFDs may be interfaced to the backbone using an A06048 SeaTalk2 to SeaTalkng Spur Cable. A-Series Classic MFDs may be interfaced a as a spur to the backbone via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable. Raymarine offers SeaTalkng to DeviceNet Male (A06046) and SeaTalkng to DeviceNet Female adapter cables (A06045) as well as SeaTalkng to Stripped End Spur cables (A06044) to support interfacing third party NMEA 2000 devices as spurs to the SeaTalkng network backbone.
From a minimalist standpoint, a backbone may be constructed from a SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector, a pair of SeaTalkng Termination Plugs, SeaTalkng Power Cable, and a pair of SeaTalkng Spur Cables to interface a pair of devices to the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector.
The following engine data items are be supported when interfaced to a NMEA 2000 device supplying the corresponding data. Support is limited to 3 engines:
Tach
Boost
Alternator
Oil Pressure
Coolant
Engine Hours
Fuel Tank Level 1
Fuel Tank Level 2
Total Fuel Remaining
Load
Fuel Rate (ex. gal/hr)
Trim Tabs
Tilt
