AP-WRC4 Installation
With
EV-100 Evolution Autopilot
www.madmanmarine.com
Assumptions:
•The EV-100 autopilot installation is, or will be installed, in accordance with the Raymarine
EV-100 installation manual. As a guide, refer to Figure 1 for a typical EV-100 installation.
•A Raymarine SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter is, or will be, installed in accordance with the
Raymarine SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter installation manual.
•All required SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng conversion parts are present. (All required parts, except for a
blue backbone cable, are included in the Raymarine E22158 converter kit, which is the recommended
kit to purchase if there is no existing SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter installed).
•The AP-WRC4 is to be installed close to the SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter.
Steps:
1. Turn off power to the EV-100 and 12V supply cable which supplies the SeaTalkng backbone.
2. Prepare the SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng cable from the E22158 converter kit by cutting off the
SeaTalk connector (see Figure 2) and stripping the cable back to expose the red wire, yellow
wire and the screen/shield that surrounds them.
(Optional: apply clear heatshrink over the twisted screen/shield and a larger piece of black heatshrink
over the cable end to make a neat job).

Steps (continued):
3. Remove the terminator from the SeaTalkng backbone ‘Tee’ connector so that the backbone
can be extended.
4. Install the terminator that was removed from the ‘Tee’ connector on one of the blue ports of
the SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng converter. Refer to Figure 3 for this and subsequent connections.
5. Connect one end of a new SeaTalkng backbone cable to the ‘Tee’ connector (where the
terminator was removed) and the other end to the other blue port on the SeaTalk1 to
SeaTalkng converter.
6. Terminate the wires of the SeaTalk cable in the AP-WRC4 terminals as follows:

7. Plug the yellow connector of the SeaTalk cable into the yellow port of the SeaTalk to
SeaTalkng converter.
8. Turn on the EV-100 and the 12V supply cable which supplies the SeaTalkng backbone.
9. Check the green light on the SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkng is on (and flashing periodically).
10. Turn on the AP-WRC4 using the rocker switch at the bottom of the base unit.
11. Check that the blue ‘OP’ LED on the AP-WRC4 flashes 3 times after being turned on.
12. Check the orange ‘ST’ LED is off and remains off after 5 seconds. If the ‘ST’ LED turns on, wait
for several more seconds and verify that it eventually turns off.
13. To finish off, mount the AP-WRC4 base unit and SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter in
accordance with their respective manuals and tidy up the cabling. The AP-WRC4 User
Manual is available from the ‘Downloads’ page at https://www.madmanmarine.com
