  • A network switch.

  • A PC / laptop computer.

  • An IP video decoder (available separately from third-party retailers).

  • A network switch.

  • A compatible multifunction display (MFD) / chartplotter.

Suitable cables:

  • RayNet (Ethernet) to RJ45 adapter cable (supplied).

  • Right-angled RayNet (Ethernet) to RayNet (Ethernet) cable (supplied).

For further information on the available cables, refer to: Spares and Accessories

Power and drain:

Connects to a:

  • 12 / 24 V dc power supply.

Suitable cables:

  • Right-angled power cable (supplied).
Note

The supplied right-angled RayNet (Ethernet) and Power cables are suitable for mounting on surfaces up to 25.4 mm (1.0 in) thick. When mounting on thicker surfaces, you may need to use RayNet (Ethernet) and Power cables with straight connectors (available separately).

Note

The cables should be routed to a dry area of the vessel for connection. Alternatively, you must ensure that all connections are water tight.

Note

If you want to make cable connections to the camera before mounting it to your vessel (for example, to test the camera), first attach the 3 threaded studs to the base. For further information, refer to: Inserting the studs into the camera base

This will help to protect the cable connectors on the base of the camera, and also provides a stable platform, helping to prevent damage caused by the unit rolling off the edge of the work surface.
