Interfacing a Fusion stereo head unit to an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD

Fusion True Marine stereo head units are manufactured with Ethernet and/or NMEA 2000 communications interfaces. For maximum performance, it is recommended that Fusion stereos featuring an Ethernet interface (ex. 750 Series, 700i/700 Series, etc.) be interfaced to Raymarine's a/c/e/eS-Series MFDs via an Ethernet network rather than via a NMEA 2000 network. In a simple system, the Fusion True Marine stereo head unit's Ethernet socket may be interfaced to the MFD's Ethernet network socket (RayNet (M)) via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) Cable. In a larger system, the Fusion True Marine stereo head unit's Ethernet socket may be interfaced to the Ethernet network socket (RayNet (M)) of a HS5 RayNet Network Switch using an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) Cable.

Fusion True Marine stereo head units which only feature a NMEA 2000 communications interface (ex. 650 Series, 70 Series, 205 Series, etc.) may be interfaced to a Raymarine system featuring a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs, via a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng 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 CAB000863 unpowered NMEA 2000 Connection Cable ... features 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 Fusion CAB000863 cable and a spur port of the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable to interface the MFD to a spur port of the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector.
