SeaTalk trauksmes izvades kabelis 1,5m

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.

Installing this cable is relatively straightforward, connecting directly to the alarm output of a compatible SeaTalk device and to 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 extensions thereof. 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 positioning 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 want to connect an external alarm to a pure SeaTalk network without resorting to more expensive and complex protocol converters. Its robustness meets the standards expected 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.
