Raymarine MFD Integration
This manual is still being actively developed.
1. Introduction
The integration technology used is called LightHouse Apps.
2. Compatibility
The MFD integration is compatible with the Axiom, Axiom Pro and Axiom XL MFDs running on LightHouse 3. The eS & gS Series multifunction displays which have been upgraded to LightHouse 3 are not compatible.
Raymarine MFDs need at least LightHouse v3.11 for compatibility.
3. Wiring
The MFD needs to be connected to the GX device using ethernet. It is not possible to connect over Wi-Fi. For the ethernet connection, a RayNet adapter is required.
The RayNet adapters can be purchased from Raymarine:
- A62360 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 1m
- A80151 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 3m
- A80159 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) - 10m
- A80247 - RayNet (F) to RJ45 (F) Adapter
- A80513 - RayNet male to RJ45 adaptor cable
4. Configuration
On the Victron GX Device, go to Settings → Services, and there enable MQTT.
Next, go to Settings → System Setup → Scroll to the bottom → Battery measurements. And there set up what batteries you want to see on the MFD; and by what name.
No other settings, such as IP addresses or similar are required, since the Axiom MFDs have an integrated DHCP server.
