1 Introduction

The RayPilot 650 is SeaTalk™compatible, allowing it to share

informationwithotherSeaTalkinstruments.Thisbecomesusefulfor

someautomaticadjustmentsmade by the autopilot. For example,

whentheRayPilotisconnected to a speedinstrument, the speed gain

link allows the RayPilot to adjust the amount of rudder applied

according tothe speed ofthe boat.

When connected to a SeaTalk navigation aid or chart plotter via its

built-in interface, the RayPilot 650 will track to your waypoint with

amazing accuracy.

The RayPilot 650 system can be expanded andenhanced with a

selection of options andaccessories available from yourRaymarine

dealer. These include: further full function stations, a hand-held

controlunit,a joystickpowersteeringlever oranauxiliaryalarm.

SeaTalk and NMEA compatibility

The RayPilot 650control unit is SeaTalk compatible, so it canshare

datatransmittedfromotherRaymarine SeaTalk instruments:

•wind information from awind instrument can beused for

wind vane steering without the need to install a separate vane

•trackinformation,fromanavigator,canprovidewaypointcontrol

fromtheautopilot

•boat speed from aspeed instrument can provide optimumtrack

keepingperformance

•SeaTalkcompatibilityalsoallowsadditionalfixedandhand-held

autopilot control unitsto be easilyconnected at secondary

steeringand control positions

If the RayPilot 650 is used as partof a course computer system, you

can connect NMEA 0183 transmitting equipmentto the ports on the

course computer. With an optional SeaTalk/NMEA interface (part

number: E85001), you can also connect NMEA 0183 equipmentto

the SeaTalk ports on the RayPilot 650.

EMC conformance

All Raymarine equipment and accessories aredesigned to thebest

industrystandards for use in the recreational marine environment.

The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and

accessories conform tothe appropriateElectromagnetic

Compatibility(EMC)standards,butcorrectinstallationisrequiredto

ensure that performance is notcompromised.
