[CA] [CA11] Electronic Upgrades for our Manta 40 Catamaran

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Jason,

Thanks for considering Raymarine products.

Within Rev A drawing:

- the diagram incorrectly indicates that the MFD is interfaced a backbone (blue) socket within the 5-Way Connector. Only Backbone Cables and SeaTalkng Termination plugs may be connected to a backbone socket. Devices featuring a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 socket (ex. MFD, EV-1, P70S, ACU-200, i70S, P79S, Vesper AIS, SeaTalkng Power Cable, etc.) may only be interfaced to spur (white) sockets within the backbone. Accordingly, the backbone must contain enough spur sockets to accommodate each device having a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communication interface. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how additionally spur sockets may be added to a backbone.

- the diagram incorrectly indicates that the Evolution autopilot components have been interfaced to a SeaTalk bus. Please see the first item listed above addressing that these components should each be interfaced to a spur socket within the backbone.

- the diagram incorrectly indicates that the P79S is to be daisy chained to the i70S. Please see the first item listed above addressing that these components should each be interfaced to a spur socket within the backbone.

- The Smart Controller base station and ST60 instruments should each be daisy chained together and connected to the SeaTalk (yellow) socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter.

- The diagram is missing a SeaTalkng Power Cable. The SeaTalkng Power Cable should be connected to a switched 12VDC power circuit. The other end of the SeaTalkng Power Cable should be plugged into a spur (white) socket within the backbone. The SeaTalkng power dip switch of the S2G should be shifted to the OFF position.

- the diagram shows no SeaTalkng Termination Plugs ... one SeaTalkng Termination Plug must be installed within backbone socket located at each of the backbone's two ends.

Within Rev B drawing:

- Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how the SeaTalk bus featuring a legacy autopilot should be interfaced to the system.

- the diagram incorrectly indicates that the P79S is to be daisy chained to the i70S. Please see the first item listed above addressing that these components should each be interfaced to a spur socket within the backbone.

- The Smart Controller base station, ST60 instruments, and S1 autopilot course computer should each be daisy chained together and connected to the SeaTalk (yellow) socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. Per the FAQ referenced above, the ST6002 Autopilot Control Head should disconnected from the daisy chained SeaTalk devices and should instead be interfaced to the other SeaTalk Socket of the S1 Autopilot Course Computer (i.e. the one that the daisy chained SeaTalk devices has not been connected to).

- The diagram is missing a SeaTalkng Power Cable. The SeaTalkng Power Cable should be connected to a switched 12VDC power circuit.
