Detailed description

The Raymarine Micro-Talk interface (reference E70361) is an essential bridge designed to integrate existing Micronet wireless sensors, such as Micronet wind sensors, into modern SeaTalkNG and NMEA2000 networks. It allows Micronet equipment owners to retain their reliable sensors while gaining NMEA2000 connectivity on their current Raymarine navigation system.

Connectivity and system integration

The primary function of the Raymarine Micro-Talk interface is to convert Micronet wireless sensor data into a format compatible with the NMEA2000 protocol, the industry standard for marine equipment communication. Powered directly via the NMEA2000 bus, this interface simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate power source. Its robust design provides waterproofing compliant with IPX6 and IPX7 standards, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding marine environments. The device weighs 0.581 kg.

Strategic positioning

The Raymarine Micro-Talk interface serves as a strategic solution for the gradual upgrade of navigation systems. Unlike a complete replacement of Micronet sensors with native NMEA2000 sensors (such as those in the Raymarine i70s range or competing systems like B&G Triton or Garmin gWind, which offer their own wireless solutions), this interface provides a cost-effective and efficient option. It preserves the initial investment in Micronet sensors while enabling access to multifunction displays (MFD) and modern instruments compatible with NMEA2000/SeaTalkNG.

« Intégration transparente : Micronet vers NMEA2000/SeaTalkNG »

L'interface Raymarine Micro-Talk (E70361) constitue une solution technique pragmatique pour l'intégration des systèmes. Elle permet aux propriétaires de capteurs sans fil Micronet existants de migrer leurs données vers un réseau SeaTalkNG ou NMEA2000 sans nécessiter un remplacement complet de l'instrumentation. Cette passerelle assure une conversion fiable des signaux, essentielle pour maintenir la cohérence des données de navigation sur des systèmes modernes Raymarine ou d'autres marques compatibles NMEA2000. L'alimentation directe via le bus NMEA2000 simplifie considérablement le câblage et l'installation, réduisant les points de défaillance potentiels. Sa conception robuste, avec une étanchéité IPX6 et IPX7, garantit une durabilité et une fiabilité opérationnelle dans les environnements marins exigeants, un critère essentiel pour tout équipement de pont ou de mât. Ce dispositif représente un investissement judicieux pour optimiser l'utilisation des équipements existants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the exact purpose of the Raymarine Micro-Talk E70361 interface?

The Micro-Talk interface is a bridge that connects wireless sensors using the older Micronet protocol (such as Tacktick wind transducers/vane anemometers) to a modern Raymarine SeaTalkNG network or a standard NMEA 2000 network. It translates wireless data so that it can be read by your multifunction displays and recent instruments.

Which types of wireless sensors are compatible with this interface?

This interface is designed to work with Raymarine wireless sensors using the Micronet protocol. It primarily includes:

The wireless wind transducer / vane anemometerThe Triducer wireless sensor (speed, depth, temperature)The wireless hull sensor for speed and temperatureThe wireless depth sensor

How is the Micro-Talk interface powered?

The Micro-Talk interface is powered directly by the network bus to which it is connected. It requires no external power source. Simply plug it into your SeaTalkNG or NMEA2000 network for it to power on.

Can I use this interface with instruments from another brand than Raymarine?

Yes. The Micro-Talk interface converts Micronet data into standard NMEA2000 sentences. Therefore, any display or instrument compatible with NMEA2000, regardless of brand (Garmin, B&G, Simrad, etc.), will display the data transmitted by your wireless sensors via the interface.

What is the IP rating of this housing?

The Micro-Talk interface housing has a dual waterproof rating:

IPX6: Protected against powerful water jets. IPX7: Protected against temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).

Where should I install the Micro-Talk unit on my boat?

For optimal performance, it is recommended to install the Micro-Talk unit in a central and as unobstructed location as possible to ensure reliable wireless communication with all your Micronet sensors. Avoid placing it behind metal or carbon bulkheads that could weaken the signal.

I have an old Tacktick system. Is this interface the correct solution to modernize it?

Yes, absolutely. Raymarine’s Micronet technology is the direct successor to Tacktick wireless systems. This interface is specifically designed to allow Tacktick equipment owners to keep their reliable sensors while integrating them into a modern NMEA 2000 navigation system.

What data can this interface transmit to my network?

The interface transmits data received from your Micronet sensors. This typically includes wind speed and angle (true and apparent), depth, surface speed, and water temperature.

Is the installation of the Micro-Talk interface complicated?

No, installation is relatively simple. It involves connecting the unit to a free spur socket on your SeaTalkNG or NMEA2000 backbone using a suitable cable. The second step is pairing (synchronizing) the wireless sensors with the interface, which is done via the configuration menu of a Raymarine multifunction display.

How many wireless sensors can I connect simultaneously to a single Micro-Talk interface?

Only one Micro-Talk interface is required for your entire Micronet wireless sensor system. It can manage and transmit data from multiple sensors (wind, speed, depth, etc.) simultaneously to your NMEA 2000 network.

What is the main advantage of using this interface instead of replacing all my sensors?

The main advantage is economic. The Micro-Talk interface lets you retain your initial investment in Micronet/Tacktick sensors, which are often still fully functional, while giving you access to modern chartplotter and navigation system features.

Is a specific cable required to connect the interface to the network?

Yes, you will need a SeaTalkNG spur cable or an NMEA2000 drop cable (with an adapter if necessary) to connect the interface to a T-connector on your main backbone network.

Is this interface compatible with the old SeaTalk1 network?

No, the Micro-Talk interface is not directly compatible with the SeaTalk1 network. It is designed for SeaTalkNG and NMEA2000 networks. To integrate this data into a SeaTalk1 network, a SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter would be required in addition.

How can I check if my sensors are properly connected to the interface?

Once the interface is installed and the sensors paired, you can check their status in the device list of your NMEA 2000 network, accessible from the configuration menu of your multifunction display. The data (wind, depth, etc.) should also display on your instruments.

Does the Micro-Talk housing have an external antenna?

No, the Micro-Talk interface has an internal antenna. This is why its positioning on board is important to ensure good signal reception from your wireless sensors.

Can I use this bridge to connect wired instruments?

Yes, this bridge allows wireless Micronet sensors to connect to wired networks. It plugs into the boat’s SeaTalkNG network to communicate with wired instruments, multifunction displays, and autopilots.

What is included in the E70361 product box?

The box typically contains the Micro-Talk bridge housing, a mounting gasket, a 6 m SeaTalkNG spur cable, mounting hardware, and installation documentation.

Do I need to perform a software update on the interface after purchase?

It is always recommended to check if a software update is available for your Raymarine equipment. Updates for the Micro-Talk interface can be performed via a Raymarine multifunction display connected to the same SeaTalkNG network.

Can the interface work if my NMEA 2000 network is not Raymarine (SeaTalkNG) branded?

Yes. SeaTalkNG is Raymarine's commercial name for its NMEA2000 cabling system. The interface is fully compatible with the NMEA2000 standard. You may need an adapter cable to connect the SeaTalkNG port of the interface to a standard NMEA2000 (DeviceNet) connector.

What is the weight of the Micro-Talk interface?

The exact weight of the Micro-Talk interface is not explicitly stated in Raymarine's official technical specifications, but it is approximately 0.36 kg (0.8 lbs) according to retailers.
