Interfacing a Rockford Fosgate stereo receiver to an Axiom MFD

Chapter 12 - Audio Application of the Axiom Advanced Operation Instructions provides details of how compatible Rockford Fosgate stereo receivers may be interfaced to an Axiom MFD. The Audio application may be used to remotely control a compatible Rockford Fosgate stereo receiver. Raymarine has designed and tested the LightHouse 3 software to be compatible with Rockford Fosgate's PMX-5CAN and PMX-8 Punch Marine AM/FM/WB Digital Media Receivers. In short, the Rockford Fosgate's PMX-5CAN and PMX-8 may be interfaced to Rockford Fosgate's PMX-CAN accessory to provide the PMX-5CAN and PMX-8 with a NMEA 2000 communications interface through which the MFD may communicate. The PMX-CAN may in turn be interfaced a spur to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone to which the MFD as also been interfaced as a spur. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how to interface a NMEA 2000 device having a DeviceNet Micro-C (M) plug to a SeaTalkng backbone. Either of these two cables may be used to interface the PMX-CAN as a spur to the aforementioned backbone. A simple backbone may be constructed from the following components:

- A06064 SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06031 SeaTalkng Termination Plugs x 2
- A06049 SeaTalkng Power Cable
- an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable of appropriate length to interface the Data Master MFD to the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06045 or A06075 DeviceNet (F) to SeaTalkng Spur Adapter Cable to interface the PMX-CAN to the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector.
