[CA] [CA11] Low voltage to itc5 for wind speed

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Terry,

The following iterms are invalid within the system which you have diagrammed:

- the backbone should not feature two autopilot systems as the one shown presently does. While it is understandable that one may desire to keep a spare autopilot onboard, they must not be installed within the same backbone. Accordingly, should the system feature an Evolution autopilot, then the SPX autopilot (to include the fluxgate compass) should be removed from the backbone.

- the only PC software which Raymarine had offered which was designed to support Ethernet communications with Raymarine equipment was RayTech RNS 6.1 and 6.2 (no longer supported). When interfaced to the system's Ethernet network, the system also had to feature an E-Series Classic MFD or C-Series Widescreen MFD ... your diagrammed system features neither and it would accordingly be recommended that the PC be disconnected from the Ethernet switch shown within your diagram. The one possible exception to this rule would be if the PC running RayTech software was able to display and control the radome. Should the latter be demonstrated within your system, then it may be possible to keep the PC interfaced to the system.

- Raymarine products are not designed to interface via Ethernet communications with third party products except for compatible IP cameras and compatible video encoders. Accordingly, the SSB's connection to the Ethernet switch should be eliminated.

Regarding the backbone shown,

- the diagram does not indicate where SeaTalkng Termination Plugs have been installed

- the diagram does not indicate where the SeaTalkhs Backbone Cable leading from the 5-Way Connector toward the autopilot components has been connected. The other end of this cable must be connected to a 5-Way Connector, T-Piece, or Inline Terminator. Which of these is this cable connected to?
