Important: • If the gateway is being mounted on a metal surface which is already grounded, the fixing screw will act as the ground connection. • If you are not mounting the gateway (for example, the gateway is floating, or cable tied to an existing vessel wiring loom), the ring crimp terminal of the ground wire should be connected to the gateway using a suitable nut and bolt (not supplied).
– High current carrying AC and DC power lines. • Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. – Antennas. • Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power Strain relief cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run).
8.2 Connections overview 8.3 Connecting cables The wind transducer connects to the SeaTalkng ® / NMEA 2000 network Follow the steps below to connect the cable(s) to your product. using the supplied adaptor cable and gateway. 1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switched off. 2.
9.1 SeaTalkng ® power supply 9.2 SeaTalkng ® power cables Your product is supplied power via the SeaTalkng ® backbone. The following SeaTalkng ® power cables can be used to connect the backbone to your chosen power supply: A SeaTalkng ® backbone requires a single 12 V dc power supply. Power can be supplied to the SeaTalkng ®...
Products which have a dedicated power supply connection that are connected to the SeaTalkng ® backbone will still have an LEN rating. This is because product’s SeaTalkng ®/NMEA 2000 internal transceiver will still be powered by the SeaTalkng ® backbone. LENs are used to determine the power connection point for the SeaTalkng ®...

Important: To prevent water ingress, the gateway’s cover MUST be fitted in all installations. 11.4 Connecting the gateway to the network The gateway must be connected to a SeaTalkng ® / NMEA 2000 network. 1. Feed the bare-ended wires and cable insulation/sheath through the cable seal.
12.1 RSW series wind transducer configuration Rotating mast example The RSW series of wind transducers requires configuration to ensure readings are presented relative to vessel heading. On a non-rotating mast where a heading sensor is present, the wind transducer will automatically compensate for any offset between installation angle and vessel centerline (heading).
• The offset should be measured from the mast’s centerline to the transducer. This may be different from the vessel centerline. 12.3 Configuring RSW wind using i70/i70s 4. If your vessel does not have a rotating mast and does not have a heading instrument display sensor;...
