American standard (240-33 ohm) and the European standard (10-180 ohm) resistive senders and in fact, the RAA100 can be calibrated for any resistive sender with resistance values between 0 and 300 ohms. You can also use the RAA100 with analog gauges so you don’t have to get rid of existing gauges to enjoy the advantages of digitally...
NMEA 2000 trunk so you don’t have to purchase any drop cable. The actual mounting of the RAA100 is not critical and the unit can be mounted in any ® orientation. The RAA100, NMEA 2000 connector, and cable are all waterproof (rated IP67 –...
Maretron recommends placing the RAA100 within 15 feet of the rudder angle sender so the gray cable can be directly attached to the sender without any splices (see Figure 2). You may also consider placing the RAA100 as close ®...
Connecting the RAA100’s attached gray cable depends on how the RAA100 will be used. If you are using the RAA100 with an analog gauge(s) then refer to Section 2.3.1.1 and skip Section 2.3.1.2. If you are using Page 4 Revision 1.0...
® ® the RAA100 as a stand-alone adapter without attaching an analog gauge, then skip Section 2.3.1.1 and refer to Section 2.3.1.2. 2.3.1.1 Connecting Attached Gray Cable to Analog Gauge Connecting the RAA100’s permanently attached gray cable to the analog gauge does not require the removal of any wires between the gauge and the rudder angle sender.
RAA100 User’s Manual end of the cable to the RAA100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable ® connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000 network in the same manner.
Analog Gauge Mode. You configure or place the RAA100 into NMEA 2000 Mode when you are connecting the RAA100 directly to the resistive rudder angle sender (see Figure 2) and you ® are not using an analog gauge. In NMEA 2000...
45°. You can select which type of sender is attached to the RAA100 using a display product such as the Maretron DSM200. Refer to the user’s manual for configuring the RAA100 as the manual provides detailed instruction on configuration procedures.
Although the RAA100 is a precision instrument, it is only as good as the resistive sender, which may not be as accurate as you like. Avoid low cost resistive rudder angle senders if you desire good accuracy.
