[CA] [CA11] Compatibility of Axiom Pro 12

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum svgustovita,

Q1. Any compatibility issues with swapping out the C95 at the helm with the Axiom?
A1. Of the devices listed, the SR6 is not compatible with Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. Should SiriusXM Marine Satellite Weather / Radio be desired, then the SR6 would need to be replaced with a SR200. If currently using the SR6 as a Network Switch, the it would need to be replaced with a HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Of the remaining items listed, the ST60 instruments and possibly the autopilot (would need to know the model of course computer rather than control head) may be adapted for use with the Axiom Pro MFD. Any radar transducers which had been designed for use with a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs may also be used with Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs.

Q2. If I add another Axiom 9 RVX at the NAV station, can the Pro S at the helm still view the Realvision 3D sonar?
A2. Yes. All system resources, features, and data are share within an Ethernet network of Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. There is no need to duplicate the internal RV fishfinder circuitry within the navigation station MFD. However, as this is a sailboat application, it would typically be recommended that the system's fishfinder processors be located below decks, as is would be a considerable challenge to chase a RV (or any fishfinder transducer cable) through binnacle tubing. Accordingly, if installing a pair of MFDs onboard, it would be recommended that the MFD having fishfinder circuitry matching the type of transducer(s) to be installed itself be installed below decks. The Axiom Pro S MFD may then be installed within the binnacle pod.

Q3. I'm planning on using the C95 on my other sailboat - replacing an old e80 classic that has a radar connected. I assume that radar is analog. Will my C95 be able to connect to it?
A3. Negative. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing replacement of a C-Series Classic MFD with an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD.
