Raymarine Ray 63/73/90/91 secondary station pack including Raymic handset, Y-cable, passive speaker & 10m cable

The Raymarine T70432 secondary station pack is an expansion solution designed to add an additional VHF control point to your existing marine communication system. It allows you to use the functions of your main VHF radio from another location on your vessel, such as a second helm station, a cabin, or a flybridge.

This pack includes several essential components for installing a secondary station:

A Raymic display unit, which is the main user interface. A Y-cable for connection to the VHF system. A dedicated passive speaker for audio reception. A 10-meter cable to connect the Raymic display unit and the speaker to the main unit.

The Raymarine T70432 secondary station pack is compatible with Raymarine VHF radios from the Ray63, Ray73, Ray90, and Ray91 series. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with these models, whether they are compact VHF units or modular systems.

Yes, the Raymic handset provides a full user interface that replicates the essential functions of the main VHF radio. This includes access to channel selection, volume adjustment, transmit power, and Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions.

Yes, the Raymic display unit is designed for marine environments. It is typically rated IPX6 or IPX7, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets or temporary immersion, making it suitable for decks or flybridges.

The pack connects to the main VHF via the supplied Y-cable. This cable links both the Raymic handset and the passive speaker to the extension port of the main VHF unit. The included 10-metre cable allows flexibility in positioning.

The Raymarine T70432 secondary station pack includes a 10-metre cable. This length is usually sufficient to install the secondary station at a reasonable distance from the main VHF unit, such as between the main helm station and a flybridge or cabin.

No, the Raymic handset and passive speaker are powered directly by the main VHF unit via the connection cable. No separate power supply is required for the secondary station pack itself.

The passive speaker should be mounted at a reasonable distance from the Raymic handset for optimal listening. However, since it is a passive speaker, its positioning is flexible and does not need to be directly adjacent to the handset, as long as the provided cable allows the connection.

Yes, the Raymic handset included in the pack allows access to and use of Digital Selective Calling (DSC) functions from your primary VHF radio. This means you can initiate DSC calls and receive alerts from your secondary station.

Yes, if your Raymarine main VHF radio supports the intercom function (as is the case for Ray63, Ray73, Ray90 and Ray91), the Raymic handset can be used as an intercom to communicate with the main unit or other handsets connected to the system.

Although the pack includes a 10-metre cable, specific Raymarine extension cables are available if you need a greater length for installation. It is important to use original Raymarine extension cables to ensure optimal system performance and reliability.

The main station is the central VHF unit that contains the radio transceiver. The secondary station (such as the one provided in this pack) is an extension that allows you to control and use the main station's functions from a remote location without a separate transceiver.

The pack includes the Raymic handset, the passive speaker, the Y-cable, and 10 meters of connection cable. Mounting brackets for the Raymic handset are usually supplied with the handset itself, allowing easy installation on a flat surface. For the passive speaker, standard fasteners are often used.

No, the Raymarine T70432 secondary station pack is specifically designed to work with Raymarine VHF radios from the Ray63, Ray73, Ray90, and Ray91 series. It uses Raymarine proprietary communication protocols and connectors and is not compatible with systems from other brands.

The kit includes a passive speaker. This means it does not have a built-in amplifier and is powered directly by the main VHF’s audio output via the connection cable. The sound is clear and sufficient for VHF communications.

Secondary stations offer multiple advantages:

Enhanced safety: Enables calling for help or communicating in an emergency from a second location.Operational comfort: Provides easier access to VHF from the flybridge, a cabin, or a secondary helm station.Flexibility: Ideal for large vessels or those with multiple helm zones.Internal communication: Can function as an intercom between different stations.

When routing the 10-metre cable, it is important to protect it from chafing and excessive heat sources. It is advisable to run it through existing conduits or cable trays and secure it firmly to prevent damage from vibrations or boat movement. Avoid routing it near high-voltage power cables or equipment generating interference.

No, the Raymarine T70432 secondary station pack is not a complete and standalone VHF system. It is an extension that requires a compatible Raymarine VHF radio (Ray63, Ray73, Ray90, or Ray91) already installed on your vessel to function. It provides a remote control point for this main VHF.
