Raymarine eci-100 Installation Instructions Manual - page 18
4.4 Data and control connections
The illustrations below are examples of how the unit can be
connected to SeaTalk
ng
and a compatible engine’s CAN bus to
enable engine data transmission and steering control.
Important:
Raymarine does not recommend that the ECI-100
is used on the same CAN bus as other 3
rd
party gateway
products. The ECI-100 should be used to replace existing
gateway products in your system.
Note:
The illustrations below are examples only. Engine CAN
bus connections are made using either a ‘Y’ loom cable, CAN
bus hub or a trailing lead. The connection method will differ
depending on engine manufacturer. The SeaTalk
ng
connection
remains the same regardless of engine manufacturer.
For details on compatible engines and steering systems please
refer to the
Supported engines / steering systems
section.
Single engine CAN bus ‘Y’ loom connection
Depending on engine manufacturer the unit may be connected
using a ‘Y’ loom cable as shown below. This connection method
should normally be used when a CAN bus hub is not present.
