Additional Stereo Control Options

When connected to an optional NMEA 2000 network, FUSION MS-RA70N models can be controlled by compatible devices, such as a FUSION NRX200 remote control or a compatible multi-function display on the same NMEA 2000 network.

Optional Wired Remote Controls

The stereo can be controlled by compatible FUSION wired remote controls installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel. Operating the entertainment system from the remote control is similar to operating it from the main stereo.

The wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 network. All remote controls connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can control the stereo.

The remote control can also serve as an NMEA ® display showing NMEA navigation data or vessel performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network.

FUSION-Link technology allows you to fully control compatible FUSION entertainment systems on compatible multi-function displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation station of the vessel. This provides you with integrated entertainment control and a less cluttered console.

The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on which all audio on the vessel is controlled, no matter where on the vessel the stereo is installed. The FUSION-Link equipped stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an issue and users need to access the stereo only to replace removable media.

FUSION-Link technology offered on this device operates over existing industry-standard NMEA 2000 networks.

For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies that are partnering with FUSION, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.

Audio Control with NMEA 2000

NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within vessels. It has become the standard for sending navigation and engine management data within vessels. FUSION introduces an industry-first product by incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of available NMEA sentences.

Go to www.fusionentertainment.com for a full list of supported NMEA sentences.

Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with the mounting considerations.

1 Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting location.
2 Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4 Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line on the template.
5 Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
6 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
7 After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot holes on the template.
8 If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole locations.
9 Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
10 Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11 Make the necessary wiring connections (Connection Considerations, page 3).
12 Place the mounting gasket on the back of the stereo ①.
