3.4.1 Seakeeper<\/span> 3 Display Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A compatible display is required with the installation of a Seakeeper<\/span> 3 to support the full functionality of the unit through the Seakeeper<\/span> App in addition to the ConnectBox. The Seakeeper<\/span> App provides an interface for controlling the Seakeeper<\/span> 3 or viewing the Settings, Service, Info, and Alarm pages. The Seakeeper<\/span> ConnectBox can be helm-mounted to provide an additional interface for the control of the Seakeeper<\/span> 3 but does not replace the need for a Seakeeper<\/span> compatible display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seakeeper<\/span> 3 has several control interface connection options to support the Seakeeper<\/span> App:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Connect the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 3 to a compatible Multifunction Display (MFD) as seen in Figure 20.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install an optional Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5″ Touch Display (P\/N 90467) as seen in Figure 21.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A combination of a compatible MFD and an optional 5″ Touch Display is also available (See drawing 90377).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The following figure provides a schematic of two display options. The subsequent sections outline the instructions and references for connecting the Seakeeper<\/span> 3 to each of these display options.<\/p>\n\n\n

    3.4.2 Connecting to a Compatible MFD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 3 can be connected to a variety of available MFD systems. Refer to the Technical Bulletins Section of the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> Technical Library for manufacturer specific MFD compatibility technical bulletins.
      \n
        \n
      1. MFD specific Technical Bulletins will be updated regularly as new MFD systems become available. Currently Garmin, Raymarine, NAVICO (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G), and Furuno offer compatible MFD models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Once a compatible MFD has been selected, refer to the appropriate manufacturer specific Technical Bulletin for integration instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Connect Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>-supplied Ethernet Adapter cable, D-Code 32.8 ft (10 m) cable to MFD manufacturer-specific Ethernet adapter cable (See Figure 20 above). Custom Ethernet cables for specific MFD manufacturers are available through Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> and must be purchased with the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 3 when connecting to an MFD.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        3.4.3 Connecting to an Optional Seakeeper<\/span> 5″ Touch Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If not utilizing a compatible MFD display, a Seakeeper<\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display must be purchased from Seakeeper<\/span>. The Seakeeper<\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display (P\/N 90467) includes the components shown in the following figure and will be integrated with the ConnectBox.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Determine location of Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display:
          \n
            \n
          1. The desired location of the 5\u201d Touch Display must be determined with respect to the vessel\u2019s arrangement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. The 5\u201d Touch Display should be located on or near the helm or another easily accessible location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Route CAN communications cable:
            \n
              \n
            1. The CAN Cable, (labelled NMEA 2000 Cable in figure), is a 82 ft (25 m) shielded cable that connects the ConnectBox Tee adapter to the 5\u201d Touch Display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. The NMEA 2000 cable must be routed and installed in the vessel from the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 3 wire harness CAN Tee to the Tee Adapter at the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display, included with P\/N 90467.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            3. Install Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5″ Touch Display equipment:
              \n
                \n
              1. Console space required: Approx. 5.24 W x 3.70 H in. (133 x 94 mm)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

                2. Mounting Instructions: Rear mount on vessel console panel, within 2 ft (0.6 m) of Display.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. Hardware required: One mounting screw for .197 in. (5 mm) diameter mounting hole on Tee Adapter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. Connect Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display Equipment:
                  \n
                    \n
                  1. The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display is connected in accordance with Figure 21 above.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    3.4.4 NMEA 2000 Network Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                    The Seakeeper<\/span> 3 requires a connection to the vessel\u2019s NMEA 2000 network backbone via a drop cable for access to the GPS signal. The Seakeeper<\/span> 3 will monitor information on the NMEA network to support and optimize the performance of the Seakeeper<\/span> 3. If no GPS signal is detected, a warning will appear on the Seakeeper<\/span> display. The Seakeeper<\/span> will not spool-down, but the operation of the unit will be limited until the GPS signal returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Install customer-supplied NMEA 2000 Tee Adapter (space required: approximately 4 W X 3 H in. (102 X 76 mm).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Connect NMEA Backbone to Tee Adapter. NOTE:<\/strong> NMEA drop cable can be no longer than 19.6 ft (6 m) in length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Connect Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>-supplied NMEA cable (P\/N: 30332) to the customer-supplied NMEA 2000 Tee Adapter on vessel\u2019s NMEA 2000 backbone.
                      \n
                        \n
                      1. An active NMEA 2000 compatible GPS signal is required on the vessel\u2019s NMEA 2000 backbone to operate the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> 3.
                        \n
                          \n
                        • If no GPS signal is detected, a Speed Over Ground (SOG signal) warning will be present on the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> app. See TB-90640 for NMEA connectivity guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
