• The information provided below is for guidance only, to help protect your product. It covers common vessel power arrangements, but does NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure how to provide the correct level of protection, please consult an authorized Raymarine dealer or a suitably qualified professional marine electrician. - Page 46 Implementation — connection to distribution panel Waterproof fuse holder with 5 A inline fuse must be fitted (not supplied). 2. SeaTalkng ® power cable. 3. RF Ground connection point for drain wire. • Ideally, the SeaTalkng ® power cable should be connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power distribution point.
- Page 47 Important: Observe the recommended fuse / breaker ratings provided in the product’s documentation, however be aware that the suitable fuse / breaker rating is dependent on the number of devices being connected. Implementation — direct connection to battery • SeaTalkng ®Where connection to a power distribution panel is not possible, the power cable may be connected to the vessel's battery..

Page 54: Transducer Calibration
The Micro-Talk gateway combines SeaTalkng ® and MicroNet networks together. Prior to powering on the Micro-Talk gateway for the first time you must ensure that all transducers are calibrated. This is particularly important with the Mast rotation device, which must be linearized after and independently of your primary heading source. -
Page 55: Performing Autonetworking
Performing Autonetworking Follow the steps below to add new Micronet products to an existing system, or create a new system from multiple boxes. Note: • Autonetworking should be performed before new products are mounted. • The following procedure is NOT required when creating a new system with products that have been supplied in a single box. - Page 56 7. Press the Down/Power button until the Options page is displayed. 8. Press the Right button to display the Autonetworking page. 9. Press the Set up button to begin the Autonetworking procedure.

Page 57: Powering The Unit On And Off
Powering off The Micro-Talk unit is powered off when the SeaTalkng ® network it is connected to is powered off. 9.4 Data damping Data damping affects the responsiveness of display data to changes in the data received from connected transducers/sensors. - Page 58 To determine whether you should make the damping changes on SeaTalkng ® or MicroNet, the user should consider the other products in their networks. For example: • if an Autopilot is present on the SeaTalkng ® network and the wind data source is on the MicroNet network, then it is recommended that the Response setting for wind data is set to Fast, so that the Autopilot receives more dynamic data.
