Connecting your ECI-100

Connection of your ECI-100 to the Volvo Penta engine* EVC System couldn't be simpler. Depending on the age of your engine, and type of installation, Raymarine have provided 2 cabling solutions:

Newer Volvo Penta engine* EVC Systems - with an available multi-link hub

For new and recent Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems, a multi-link hub should be available. This will have 6 connections, 1 of which must be available in order to connect your ECI-100.

For this connection, you will need the Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta* Engine (Raymarine Part Number: E70240). This cable is connected between the DeviceNet connector of the ECI-100, and the available socket on the multi-link hub for use with Volvo Penta engines*.

If a Volvo Penta engine* IPS or Aquamatic steering system is fitted, then connecting an EV-2 as shown in the diagram below will give full autopilot steering control.

For engine data only, the connection between ECI-100 and Volvo Penta engine* EVC system is identical (as shown in the diagram below) but fitting the Raymarine EV-2 is not required.

EV-2 is connected to the Raymarine backbone via a SeaTalk^ng spur cable (white SeaTalk^ng plug on EV-2 to be used).

Number	Description
1	SeaTalk^ng spur cable between the SeaTalk^ng backbone and the EV2's SeaTalk^ng connector.
2	ECI-100 unit
3	ST^ng network power supply (12 V dc)
4	EV-2 - Evolution� Autopilot
5	Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta engines* (E70240)
6	System Bus for use with Volvo Penta engines*
7	Multi-Link Hub for use with Volvo Penta engines*

Older Volvo Penta engine* EVC Systems - where no multi-link hub is available

For older Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems where no multi-link hub is available, it is necessary to use the E70240 Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta* in conjunction with a Y-splitter cable (E70241). This connects into the system as per the diagram.

Connecting the cables as per the diagram below will allow the ECI-100 to interface between the Volvo Penta engine* EVC data bus, and the Raymarine navigation ST^ng bus.

If a Volvo Penta engine* IPS or Aquamatic steering system is fitted, then connecting a Raymarine EV-2 as shown in the diagram below will give full autopilot steering control.

For engine data only, the connection between ECI-100 and Volvo Penta engine* EVC system is identical (as shown in the diagram) but fitting the Raymarine EV-2 is not required.

EV-2 is connected to the Raymarine backbone via a SeaTalk^ng spur cable (white SeaTalk^ng plug on EV-2 to be used).
