[CA] [CA11] M200 ENGINE MONITOR TO AXIOM 9PRO

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Miguel,

With regard to replacing the E80 with an Axiom MFD, it should have only been necessary to unplug the E80 from the NMEA 2000 backbone and then connect the Axiom MFD's NMEA 2000 cable to the vacated spur socket. Should you have done so and should the problem persist, then it is quite possible that the M200 engine monitoring system was damaged as well. When you replaced the MFD, did you replace the M200 system? If not, then it would be recommended that a NMEA 2000 analyzer (ex. Actisense NGT-1 w/Actisense NMEAReader PC software) be interfaced to the backbone and that its communications be monitored to determine whether the engine gateway is transmitting the NMEA 2000 PGNs specified within the M200's product documentation. If not, and the backbone is powered and properly terminated, then it would appear that M200 system was likewise damaged by the lightning strike.
