[CA] [CA11] splicing old seatalk

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum RF,

SeaTalk devices may be installed in any order. SeaTalk cables can be joined using D244 SeaTalk Junction Blocks, splices, marine grade terminal strips, or R55006 SeaTalk Auxiliary Junction Boxes. SeaTalk cable is available in 15", 1m, 3m, 5m, and 9m lengths (D230, D284, D285, D286, and D287 respectively). In this case, you may want to consider installing a junction box or terminal strip at a convenient point of the SeaTalk bus. The SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Cable supplied with the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter Kit would be connected to a D244 SeaTalk Junction Block. The SeaTalk Junction Block would then be joined to the junction box or terminal strip via an appropriate length of SeaTalk Cable.

Best autopilot performance will be achieved with the EV-1/EV-2 CCU installed on a vertical bulkhead or mast, orientation arrow pointed forward, and away from objects producing a magnetic field. Unlike the fluxgate compass, the EV-1/EV-2 CCU is less affected by mounting off of the centerline. Hence the installation instructions do not make any such recommendations.
