[CA] [CA11] Upgrading from e series to Axiom Pro

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum John,

The Axiom Pro MFDs utilize the same Power/NMEA 0183/Video Input Cable which had been utilized by the c/e/gS-Series MFDs and 9" and larger a/eS-Series MFDs. Any RayNet Cable(s) which have been interfaced to these MFDs need simply be unplugged from the e-Series MFDs and then plugged into the Ethernet Network (RayNet) sockets of the Axiom Pro RVX MFDs. An A06082 SeaTalkng (M) to DeviceNet (F) Adapter may be used to adapt any SeaTalkng Spur Cable which had been interfaced to the e-Series MFDs to then be mated to the NMEA 2000 socket (DeviceNet) of the Axiom Pro RVX MFDs. Finally, fishfinder transducers which had been designed to be directly mated to the fishfinder Transducer socket of ax7/cx7/e7D/ex7/eSx7 MFDs cannot be adapted to be mated to the 1kW Transducer socket of Axiom Pro RVX MFDs.

Please note that Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs are designed to share all features and resources. Accordingly and if seeking RealVision sonar and/or 1kW CHIRP Sonar features within the new system, only one device featuring RealVision sonar circuitry and/or 1kW CHIRP sonar circuitry need be present within the system. Accordingly, the second MFD may be an Axiom Pro S MFD rather than an Axiom Pro RVX MFD, thereby saving some cost within the upgrade.
