What is SeaTalk?
SeaTalk
The SeaTalk protocol enables compatible instruments to be connected by a single
cable carrying power (12 volts, 150 mA) and data in/out, without a central processor.
Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by
plugging them into the network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate with other
non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is
used.
SeaTalk2
SeaTalk2 is an enhanced replacement for SeaTalk and is a proprietary extension to
NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. It enables other Raymarine SeaTalk2
devices to talk to each other, whilst maintaining near transparent NMEA 2000
compatibility.
What is NMEA?
NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine
Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard to enable equipment
from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information.
The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the
important difference in that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For
this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter
together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display.
This information is passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three-letter sentence
identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that
the same sentence identifiers are used:
• VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data.
• GLL - carries latitude and longitude.
• DBT - carries water depth.
• MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data.
NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed
and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single
physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable.
The standard was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine
electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via
standardized message types and formats.
2.3 Compatibility
Radar Scanners
CAUTION: Radar Scanners, Cables & Installation
Information on radar scanners, cables and their installation contained in
this handbook supersedes that contained in the Pathfinder Radar
Scanner Handbook, Document No. 81154_8, dated 12th January 2005.
To achieve full radar compatibility with your C-Series Display, your Raymarine radar
scanner may require upgrading. Please check the list below to see if this upgrade is
required.
The scanner serial number can be found on a label attached to the scanner casing:
The Open Array system will also require a split pedestal cable.
If your radar scanner requires upgrading, please contact your local Raymarine dealer
for full information.
Engines
For up-to-date information relating to compatible engines together with installation
information, please refer to our website.
CompactFlash cards
It is possible to archive or transfer information to and from your C-Series display and
other compatible instruments using CompactFlash cards. To achieve the best results it
is recommended that SAN DISK® CF memory cards are used.
2.4 Functionality
For full functionality some applications require a dedicated transducer to provide
specific data. The table on below summarizes the data required by each application
and the major functions of your C-Series Display.

Notes: (1) For full details of scanner compatibility see page 13. If you are still unsure as to
your scanner’s suitability, please refer to an authorized Raymarine dealer.
(2) Engine output from a compatible engine manufacturer is also required. See
Raymarine.com for latest compatibility information.
(3) Whilst an AIS receiver is not required for the radar and chart applications to
function, this receiver is necessary if AIS functionality is required within radar and
chart.
In particular, position, heading and speed data are required for the following functions:
• Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the
radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course
Up and Head Up modes.
• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use
speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same
source as position data (GPS).
• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-
lay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided
if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using
fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible
Raymarine autopilot.

TARGET TARGETS
D6803-2
Bearing alignment
Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing
relative to your boat’s bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is
displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct
bearing reading is obtained.
You can carry out a bearing alignment in two ways:
Example 1 Example 2
Visual bearing (a) = 065° M Visual bearing (a) = 030° M
Ships head bearing (b) = 021° M Ships head bearing (b) = 042° M
Relative bearing: Relative bearing:
= (a) - (b) = (a) - (b)
= 065 - 021 = 044° R = 030 - 042 = -012
If answer is negative, add 360° =
-012 + 360 = 348° R

This screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signal
strength bar, status, azimuth angle and its elevation angle from your vessel. The sky
view graphic shows the position of these satellites.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth
and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in
the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX.
3. Zoom out with the RANGE button until the world map is visible.
4. To ensure that the display is responding to position data:
i. Press FIND SHIP.
ii. Check that the cursor is positioned over the boat symbol in the centre of the dis-
play.
5. Insert a chart card containing a suitable chart for the area in which you are located.
Once inserted, the chart should redraw with the cartridge chart boundaries dis-
played.
Note: For details of how to insert a chart card, please refer to Section 2.7, Using Compact-
Flash cards in the Reference Manual.
6. Zoom in with the RANGE button to check that chart data is being displayed.

Running AIS
In order to run AIS, you will need:
• A receive only AIS unit or a full transponder.
A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will
not allow other vessels to ‘see’ you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS
data and therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other
AIS equipped vessels to see and receive information about your vessel. This could
include position, course, speed and rate of turn data.
• A VHF antenna (part of an AIS system).
• A GPS.
• A Compass - although not essential, this will enhance performance.
When the AIS unit is connected to the C-Series display, the status of the unit is
indicated by an AIS icon in the transducer data box.
You will now need to specify the 38,400 baud rate for the NMEA port that
communicates with the AIS transceivers and receivers (see the table at the top of this
page).

Note: Under normal circumstances you will not need to adjust these settings, as they are set
automatically at the factory. If these parameters are set incorrectly the performance of the ra-
dar will be adversely affected.
Display timing
The display timing can be affected by the length of cable used to connect the scanner
to your C-Series display. This will in turn affect the short range accuracy of the radar. A
symptom of incorrect timing is that bridges or piers shown on the picture appear to be
bowed i.e.
