Detailed description

The Raymarine SeaTalk E55054 alarm cable is designed for integrating an external alarm signal into a first-generation SeaTalk network. With a length of 1.5 meters, this cable connects the alarm output of a compatible SeaTalk instrument or multifunction display to a remote sound or visual alert device. It ensures the transmission of critical alerts generated by navigation systems, such as depth, wind, or collision alarms, to an external horn, buzzer, or warning light.

Integration and Compatibility

This E55054 cable is specifically intended for installations equipped with Raymarine's original SeaTalk architecture. Unlike newer networks such as SeaTalkNG (based on NMEA 2000), which offer broader integration capabilities and advanced diagnostics, first-generation SeaTalk requires dedicated accessories for each specific function. The E55054 aligns with this logic, providing a direct solution for extending alarms without requiring complex interfaces. It is an essential component for maintaining alert functionality on existing SeaTalk systems.

Functionality and Positioning

With its 1.5-meter length, the E55054 cable offers a standard range for alarm connections. It serves as a replacement part or extension accessory for boat owners seeking to optimize their SeaTalk alert system. Compared to more modern solutions where alarms can be managed via NMEA 2000 networks or mobile applications, this cable addresses a specific need for certain configurations. It allows alarms to extend beyond the main display, relaying alerts to key areas of the vessel for improved crew responsiveness.

« SeaTalk Alarm Out extension: a solution for legacy systems »

The SeaTalk Alarm Out cable E55054 is an essential component for any vessel equipped with a first-generation SeaTalk network looking to extend its alert capabilities. Its practical value lies in its ability to relay critical alarms (depth, engine, AIS collision if a transponder is connected to the network) to an external audio or visual device, ensuring the crew does not miss any alerts, even when away from the navigation console. This is particularly relevant for boats where instruments are primarily at the helm station and a buzzer in the cabin or on deck is required.

Installation of this cable is relatively straightforward, connecting directly to the alarm output of a compatible SeaTalk device and the input of an external alarm system (buzzer, light, horn). It is important to note that this cable is specifically designed for the SeaTalk protocol (often referred to as SeaTalk1), a proprietary Raymarine architecture now considered legacy compared to SeaTalkNG (NMEA 2000). Its use is therefore limited to existing systems or their extensions. It does not integrate directly into an NMEA 2000 network without the addition of a conversion gateway. Its 1.5-meter length may require the use of extensions or strategic placement of the external alarm.

Choosing this E55054 cable means maintaining the functionality and safety of an established SeaTalk system. There is no true direct alternative if you wish to connect an external alarm to a pure SeaTalk network without resorting to more costly and complex protocol converters. Its robustness matches that of a standard marine cable, designed to withstand the marine environment. It should be avoided for new installations based on NMEA 2000, where native alarm solutions are available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the SeaTalk Raymarine E55054 alarm cable used for?

The Raymarine E55054 cable is designed to connect the alarm output of an instrument or multifunction display compatible with first-generation SeaTalk to an external sound or visual alert device. It relays critical alarms generated by your navigation systems to a remote horn, buzzer, or warning light.

What is the length of this SeaTalk alarm cable?

The Raymarine E55054 SeaTalk alarm cable has a length of 1.5 meters.

Is the E55054 cable compatible with Raymarine SeaTalkNG systems?

No, this cable is specifically designed for installations using Raymarine's original SeaTalk architecture. It is not compatible with newer networks such as SeaTalkNG, which is based on the NMEA 2000 standard and uses different cables and connectors.

What types of alerts can this cable transmit?

This cable can transmit critical alerts generated by SeaTalk navigation systems, including:

Depth alarmsWind alarmsCollision alarmsOther system alerts configured on compatible instruments.

Which types of external alert devices can this cable be connected to?

The E55054 cable connects the alarm output to various external alert devices, whether they are audible or visual. This typically includes:

A horn
A buzzer
A warning light

Which Raymarine systems is this cable specifically compatible with?

This cable is compatible with Raymarine instruments and multifunction displays that use the first-generation SeaTalk network. It is designed for existing systems that require an extension of alarm capabilities via this specific architecture.

Why use an external alarm cable if the alarm is already displayed on the main screen?

Using an external alarm cable allows alerts to be relayed to key areas of the boat where the main screen is not always visible or audible. This ensures better crew responsiveness in case of a critical alert, even if you are not directly in front of the navigation instrument.

What does the designation "Alarm Out" on this cable mean?

The designation "Alarm Out" (alarm output) means this cable is designed to transmit an alarm signal from a Raymarine device compatible with SeaTalk to an external alert device. It does not receive alarms, but broadcasts them.
