[TG] [TG11] Integrating Axiom 7 with ST60+ Instruments

[Tom - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello Jeremy,

Good question. The Axiom requires its own power (draws too much current to be powered from STNG) and will not supply power to STNG (it's important to have only a single point of power in STNG/NMEA2000 so only devices with switchable power such as autopilots ACUs can supply power). In your system I suspect that you would also have ST1 power via the deck socket of your ST2000 as well as the ST60's power cable - if you unplug the ST60 cable, do the instruments power down?

If the ST1 network is NOT getting power via the pilot deck socket, use the STNG red-black power cable: the E22158 convertor will pass this through to ST1.
If the ST1 network IS getting power via the pilot deck socket, leave the STNG red-black power cable disconnected: that ST1 power supply will pass through the convertor to STNG.
Power can come from either ST1 or STNG, but not both.

Regards,
Tom
