Replacing all electronics

Randy,

Unfortunately, we do not have the bandwidth to produce custom system diagrams.

As your concept of operations includes use of either MFD with the second MFD being powered OFF, then each MFD will need to be interfaced as a spur to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone. The backbone which will be created must have a sufficient number of spur sockets to additionally accommodate interfacing the i70 MFIDs, p70, EV Sensor Core, ACU-400, and a SeaTalkng Power Cable as individual spurs to the SeaTalkng backbone. When installing the ACU-400, it is recommended that its SeaTalkng Power dip switch be configured OFF.

Additionally, it will be necessary to install a HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Each MFD will be interfaced to the switch via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable. The Digital Radar Cable will additionally need to be interfaced to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. It is recommended that a Digital Radar Extension Cable should be chased from the radar scanner’s power / communications interface port to the base of the mast, pole mount or backstay. This will permit the Digital Radar Extension Cable to be quickly and cleanly disconnected from the vessel's wiring should the mast or be removed. The Digital Radar Extension Cable will be connected to an appropriate length of Digital Radar Cable w/RayNet (F) plug. A Digital Radar Extension Cable would not typically be used on a power boat unless mounted on an arch or tower would was intended to be removed.
