Raymarine Raystar 112LP - Using a Connector Block

Chapter 3: NMEA/SeaTalk Connections 13
3 NMEA/SeaTalk Connections
3.3 Using a connector block
When connecting a Raystar 120/112LP into an existing instrument
system or to certain Raymarine chartplotters (e.g. Raychart 630), you can
use a connector block to:
• connect into the SeaTalk bus
• supply power to the SeaTalk bus for this and other applications (if DC
power is not already available via an existing SeaTalk instrument)
Figure 3-3 shows how you can use a connector block to make the
interconnections between the Raystar 120/112LP, the SeaTalk bus and,
if required, an external DC power supply.
CAUTION:
Use a multimeter (set to an appropriate range) to check correct
polarity and connections to the 12 V DC supply before you apply
power to the Raystar receiver.

Note: You can obtain a suitable SeaTalk Auxiliary Junction Box from
your Raymarine agent. It is supplied with certain chartplotter products.
