Introduction to hsb
2
Systems
The hsb
2
(High Speed Bus) connection enables transfer of data among
compatible units. For example, fishfinder data is transferred from the
fishfinder (the master display) via the
hsb
2
connection and can be displayed
and controlled on any other hsb
2
Plus Series LCD or CRT display (the repeater
display). However, if you change, say, depth range on one display, it affects all
displays showing fishfinder or fishfinder/chart overlay.
In particular, you can connect your hsb
2
Series Plus Fishfinder to a remote hsb
2
Series Pathfinder Plus Radar and then to a remote
hsb
2
Series Plus Chartplotter
to provide fishfinder, chart, and radar functionality on all three displays.
Full functionality of the fishfinder is achieved when it is part of an integrated
system, with other equipment (in addition to other
hsb
2
Plus units) connected
via SeaTalk or NMEA 0183. Data from this equipment including position and
heading is displayed on the display and is used in calculations.
It is possible to connect up to ten
hsb
2
Plus Series LCD or CRT displays to
provide an integrated system. Earlier HSB (non-Plus) Display units can be
upgraded to provide
hsb 2
compatibility. See Connecting hsb2 Plus Series
Displays on page 2-20 for details.
Note: Please contact Raymarine Customer Service or your authorized Ray-
marine dealer about upgrading your existing HSB (non-Plus) display units to
provide full
hsb 2
Plus functionality.
The
hsb 2
system can include several chartplotter displays, each with two chart
cartridge slots. Each display can access two local and up to six remote chart
cartridges. Charts can be controlled
independently on each display, even when
a remote chart cartridge is being used. Details on connecting the equipment
are given in
Chapter 2 .
