[CA] Splice SeaTalk1 to SeatalkNG

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Martin,

Regarding the splice, it is more accurate to specify that a SeaTalkng Spur Cable may be spliced to a SeaTalk cable as follows:
- SeaTalk RED to SeaTalkNG RED
- SeaTalk SHIELD to SeaTalkNG Black & to SeaTalkng shield
- SeaTalk YELLOW to SeaTalkNG YELLOW
- SeaTalkng BLUE insulated to prevent shorting
- SeaTalkng WHITE insulated to prevent shorting

This cable may then be plugged into the SeaTalk (YELLOW) socket of a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converters as well as the MFD(s) must be updated with the latest available Raymarine product software updates.

Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how the SeaTalk devices may be interfaced to the system. As specified therein, the SeaTalk bus must not be powered from the SeaTalk side. Instead, the SeaTalk bus will be powered by the SeaTalkng backbone via the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter.

After doing so, it should be possible to command a the MFD to GoTo a Waypoint/Cursor position and then command the autopilot into track mode via the autopilot's control head. Note that the Autopilot Controls feature of LightHouse 3 software is only supported by systems featuring an Evolution autopilot.
