[DG] [DG11] Raymarine Autopilot Kit and D10

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi Phil
Thankyou for your enquiry

The DIO interface is specifically for use with Fly by wire autopilot systems supplied by Beneteau for example who installed an assisted docking system at one time. We used to supply the DIO interface with every Autopilot computer, quite why the previous owner purchased it is difficult to say - you don't generally need it.

It has no relevance to any of the analogue depth or speed transducers. I suspect the confusion has come from the fact the DIO pod is the same external appearance as the pods we supplied for the Depth and Speed analogue transducers to enable them to connect to the SeaTalk 2 network, so unless the wrong cover has been put on one of those depth or speed pods, the DIO interface cannot be used for that purpose.

Regards
Derek
