[CA] [CA11] building updated system for axiom 12 leaving the existing seatalk instrument

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Robo,
Just to confirm, the SeaTalk to SeaTalk ng converters are bi directional and will convert Seatalk to STng and vice versa. However, the STng to NMEA converter is ONE WAY only and ONLY outputs lat long for a VHF radio DSC connection.

If you want to convert STng to NMEA0183, the NGW-1 converters are the way to go. the Actisense converters will handle Depth wind and speed too.

If you have SeaTalk Depth Wind and speed, then they can be connected via a SeaTalk to STng converter - note that if you are connecting SeaTalk to the converter, make sure the red 12v power line in the seaTalk connectuion to the cyellow socket in the converter is cut and isolated, otherwise you will duplicate power feeds to the converter and it will not operate.

The p70r can be connected on Stng and through the SeaTalk to STng converter it will control the 100/300 autopilot - note that it will only operate AUTO/ STANDBY and course change, none of the other features like calibration, wind mode etc can be accessed through the p70r.

The CAM 210 needs either power over Ethernet - ( which is NOT supplied by the HS5 Switch), so you need a PoE injector between the HS5 and the camera, or you can use the 12v power lead to put power directly into the camera.

Ref power, see my comment above, power the STng network independantly from everything else, then ensure the red core in the SeaTalk connection to the yellow port in the converter is cut so SeaTalk does not try to power the converter too.

The no heading is an error triggered by the presence of the AR200 and the heading from the 100/300 computer, V3.10 will correct this temporarily and 3.12 which is due imminently will also cure it . . .

Will PM you ref 3.10 access.

I hope this answers all your quesitons,
regards

Derek
