5.13 Input and output channels
Warning: Input and output channels
• The router's input and output channels enable creation
of a simple digital monitoring / control system. As device
connections are outside of Raymarine's control the company
will not be held liable for damage or injury caused due to
incorrect connections.
• Input and output device connections should only be carried
out by a competent person familiar with vessel digital
switching systems.
• The Router's output channels are rated at 200 mA and are
only intended to be connected to devices via standard
automotive relays.
• If in any doubt or for further advice please contact
Raymarine Technical Support.
5.14 Input channel connection wiring
The router's I/O channels 1 to 4 are input channels. The supplied input cable
(included in kit: R70800) must be used to connect devices to the router's
input connector.
Important:
• The negative power wire (0 V return) of the YachtSense ™ Link's power
cable must be connected to the same power supply negative as all
connected input devices.
• Each device must have a positive supply connection to a positive
channel wire on the input cable and a negative supply connection to the
input cable's common negative wire.
Connections
Input cable signal wires
• White = Channel 1 + (positive)
• Yellow = Channel 2 + (positive)
• Purple = Channel 3 + (positive)
• Red = Channel 4 + (positive)
• Black = Common - (negative)
The input channels can be monitored from the YachtSense ™ Link web
interface or from the Raymarine app.
Input channel connections
The input channels can be configured as follows:
• Analog — voltage monitoring from 0 V dc to supply voltage.
• Digital — switch state detection when connected between channel and
supply voltage. Switches can be normally open or normally closed.
The input channels are configured from the router web interface's Channels
configuration page: ADVANCED SETTINGS > Inputs & Outputs > Channels
configuration.
Note:
• The input channel cannot detect switch state on switches that are
switched to negative supply.
• All connections to positive voltage supply should be fused appropriately.
