Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
Operation and Installation Chapter 1: Introduction SeaTalk is the language used by Raymarine products to share information. This is unique to Raymarine. The PC/SeaTalk/NMEA Interface, by providing conversion between SeaTalk, RayTech PC and NMEA 0183 data formats, allows operation with other manufacturer's equipment and with PCs. -
Page 6: Chapter 2: Mounting
Chapter 2: Mounting Select a suitable location that is: • away from direct contact with water • clean and grease-free • accessible for cabling • reasonably well protected from physical damage. 1. Once a suitable location has been found, thoroughly clea n the surface with an alcohol based cleaner. - Page 7 Operation and Installation 3. Alternatively, the PC/SeaTalk/NMEA Interface box may be attached using the 2 self tapping screws provided. 4. Remove the top of the Interface box by squeezing the lid at each end and pull away from the base. 5.

Page 13: Nmea Input
Operation and Installation 3.2 NMEA Input The PC/SeaTalk/NMEA Interface can also be used to convert NMEA 0183 data to SeaTalk. NMEA 0183 data is also re-transmitted on NMEA "OUT" in response to NMEA "IN". This allows non-SeaTalk equipment to be connected directly to the SeaTalk bus. Note: Data will not be transmitted to SeaTalk if it is already on present on the SeaTalk bus. - Page 14 Data GPS Number of Satellites GPS Antenna Height GPS Quality Indicator Heading (Magnetic or True) Latitude & Longitude MOB (Cancel) Route Speed Over Ground Speed Through water Temperature, Water Time True Wind Angle Variation Waypoint Destination No. Waypoint Arrival Alarm Waypoint Distance Waypoint Lat &...
