Replacing a C-Series Classic MFD with an Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD(s)

MOUNTING: Raymarine offers a limited set of adapter mounting plates which is expected to grow over time. To view the which Axiom Pro Adapter Plates are currently available, click here.

POWER: The currently installed power cable will need to be replaced with the cable supplied with the Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD.

RADAR: Radar transducers which were designed for use with C-Series Classic MfDs are not compatible with Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to add radar features to an Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD.

SEATALK: Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to interface products having a SeaTalk interface to a SeaTalkng backbone, to which the Data Master Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD will also be interfaced.

EXTERNAL ALARM: The A80614 SeaTalkNG Auxiliary Alarm Buzzer may be used to remotely sound alarms for Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs running the latest available Raymarine product software updates. A comprehensive list of alarms supported by the A80614 SeaTalkNG Auxiliary Alarm Buzzer may be found within Appendices A through R of the of the SeaTalkNG Auxiliary Alarm Buzzer Installation Instructions.

NMEA 0183: The NMEA 0183 leads of any NMEA 0183 devices which are presently interfaced to the C-Series Classic MFD's NMEA Cable will need to be disconnected from this cable and will instead be spliced to the corresponding leads of the Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD's Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable.

SEATALKNG/NMEA 2000: Should the Data Master C-Series Classic MFD be interfaced as a spur to NMEA 2000 backbone, then the Data Master Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFD may be interfaced as a spur to backbone. constructed from SeaTalkng networking components via a SeaTalkng to DeviceNet Female adapter cable (A06045).

SATELLITE WEATHER / RADIO: Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs are not compatible with the SR50 Sirius Satellite Weather / Radio Receiver. Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs running the latest available Raymarine product software update which have been interfaced via Ethernet communications to a SR200 SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receiver or to a SR150 SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receiver which in turn the owner has purchase SiriusXM Marine Weather and/or SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription will support the corresponding SiriusXM Satellite Weather and/or Satellite Radio features. Legacy Raymarine SiriusXM Satellite Weather/Radio Receivers (SR50, SR100, and SR6) are not be compatible Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs.

FISHFINDER(s): When interfaced to a compatible transducer, and/or to another Axiom MFD or Axiom Pro MFD which has been interfaced to a compatible transducer, and/or to a CP100, CP200, CP370, CP450, CP570, RVX1000 Fishfinder Sounder Module, which in turn has been interfaced to a compatible transducer the Axiom Pro MFD (as well as the other Axiom MFDs and Axiom Pro MFDs which have been interfaced to it) will support the corresponding finder sonar features.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION: While the replacement of this equipment is well within the capabilities of those familiar with marine electronics equipment installation, there will be some cable splicing and cable chasing required.
