[CA] [CA11] RP650 remote options

[RandyS]

I have an older Raytheon RP650 head on a 400 course computer. What are my options to add a remote? I realize said remote might not be available new anymore, but I will look on eBay and other forums.

But for example, does the S100 wireless remote work in my configuration?

Thanks.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Randy,

The S100 and SmartController Wireless Autopilot Remotes are each compatible with Type 400 autopilot course computers. The wireless autopilot remote's base station will be interfaced via SeaTalk to the autopilot course computer.

Great, thx Chuck. Being an older system, it is all SeaTalk. When I added my es128 a couple years ago I had to install a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng converter. If I understand you correctly, the S100 will plug into the original SeaTalk network, yes? (The three pin curved connector?).
Thx.

Randy,

Q. If I understand you correctly, the S100 will plug into the original SeaTalk network, yes?
A. Correct ... more specifically, the S100's wireless base station will plug into the SeaTalk network.

Excellent, thanks.
