E-series navigation system

The E-series navigation system from Raymarine combines chartplotter, fishfinder, radar, instrument data, engine monitoring and onboard video functions into a customisable navigation network.

The displays are available in two sizes, the E80 and E120, which both feature high bright direct sunlight viewable screens.

The E80 is an 8.4" 640 x 480 colour VGA display, and the larger E120 is a 12.1" 600 x 800 SVGA display.

Both models have full 256 colour high-resolution TFT screens.

The E-series uses the SeaTalk-HS high-speed networking protocol to transfer radar, chartplotter, fishfinder and navigation functions between displays.

The series can be used in single, dual or multi-station configurations. An optional SeaTalk-HS auto-sensing high-speed eight-port network switch enables users to expand beyond two network devices.

Offering all the key features of a fully functioning radar, digital fishfinder and chartplotter, the series also integrates with other equipment on board. There are four video inputs, for viewing remote cameras or entertainment, DVDs or thermal imaging cameras.

There is also VGA video output enabling video images to be shown on remote monitors or flat screens. In addition, the series provides on-screen engine instrument monitoring for selected engine models.

Screen redraw is fast due to an onboard graphics coprocessor. Waterproof to CFR46 standards, the series is compatible with SeaTalk, SeaTalk 2, NMEA0183 and NMEA 2000.
