Overview

The Raymarine E26033 is an external auxiliary alarm buzzer for Raymarine multifunction display systems. It adds a separate audible alarm point so important warnings from the display are easier to hear from the helm, cabin, cockpit, or another area where the built-in display sounder may not be enough.

This alarm is commonly used with Raymarine C-Series and E-Series displays and is also specified in Raymarine alarm buzzer installations that use the display alarm output. Typical alerts can include navigation, depth, collision, or system alarms generated by the connected display, helping the crew notice warnings sooner in a noisy marine environment.

Key features

• External auxiliary alarm buzzer for Raymarine display alarm outputs.
• Compatible with Raymarine C-Series and E-Series display installations.
• Helps make critical display alarms easier to hear away from the screen.
• Useful at the helm, below deck, or in another location where extra audible warning coverage is needed.
• Connection to compatible displays may require the Raymarine alarm or video alarm cable specified for that display.

Installation and setup

The alarm should be mounted where its sound can be heard clearly, while still keeping the wiring run practical and protected. On many Raymarine installations, the alarm connects through the display alarm output cable rather than directly into a network backbone, so the correct display cable should be confirmed before installation.

For systems using Raymarine alarm output wiring, the alarm wiring is typically connected by matching the black alarm wire to black and the red alarm wire to the alarm output lead specified for the display cable. Connections should be made with suitable marine electrical connectors and protected from moisture, vibration, and accidental strain.

Use cases on board

This auxiliary alarm is a good match for boats where alarms need to be heard beyond the immediate display location, such as enclosed helms, sailboat cabins, flybridges, fishing cockpits, or installations with engine and wind noise. It is especially useful when the display is responsible for safety-related alerts that the crew should not miss.

It does not replace correct watchkeeping or system setup, but it gives the Raymarine display alarm output a dedicated sounder that can be positioned where it is most useful on the vessel.
