Description

The Raymarine Alpha 7 Performance Display (E70649) is a 7 inch sailing instrument built for fast, glance friendly decision making. Its 1500 nit IPS touchscreen stays readable through polarised sunglasses, the HydroTough nano-coated glass shrugs off water, oil and fingerprints, and an ambient light sensor trims brightness automatically.

Mount it at the helm or on the mast, in portrait or landscape, flush, surface or retrofitted into the cutout of an existing ST60, i50, i60 or i70 series instrument. A single waterproof cable, sold separately, carries both power and RayNet data, and up to four Alpha displays can be daisy chained from one feed.

The Alpha 7 is not a standalone instrument: it must be networked to a Raymarine Axiom or Axiom 2 Series chartplotter running LightHouse 4 v4.7.172 or later, which feeds it wind, speed, depth, navigation and engine data from the sensors on that network. With Alpha 3.0 software it also gives full Evolution autopilot control, including Steer to Wind for sailing.

Does the Alpha Performance Display work on its own?
No. The Alpha is not a standalone product. It must be networked to a compatible Raymarine Axiom Series or Axiom 2 Series multifunction display (Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom 2 XL, Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro or Axiom XL) running LightHouse 4 v4.7.172 or later. The chartplotter acts as the data hub and also gives remote control of brightness and page selection.
What cable does an Alpha display need?
A combined power and RayNet cable, sold separately, available in 1 m (A80752), 3 m (A80709), 5 m (A80753) and 10 m (A80754) lengths. The cable's bare ended wires connect to a 12 V or 24 V supply and include a waterproof holder with an 8 A inline fuse. Additional displays connect with a 0.3 m (A80710) or 1 m (A80747) daisy chain cable.
How many Alpha displays can I connect together?
Up to 4 Alpha displays can be daisy chained in a series from one power feed, and up to 10 Alpha displays can be connected per network. Size the inline fuse to the chain: 2 A for one display, 4 A for two, 6 A for three and 8 A for four.
Can I control my autopilot from an Alpha display?
Yes. With an Evolution Series autopilot and a LightHouse 4 multifunction display (v4.7.172 or later), the Alpha can act as the pilot controller once Control pilot from chartplotter(s) is enabled in the MFD settings. It supports engaging and disengaging the pilot plus Steer to Heading, Steer to Navigation and Steer to Wind modes.
Where does the Alpha get its wind, speed and depth data?
From the sensors connected to your chartplotter network. Raymarine pairs the Alpha with sensors such as the RSW Smart Wind transducer and the DST810 smart transducer; their data reaches the Alpha through the networked Axiom chartplotter over the single RayNet connection.
Can Alpha displays be mounted on the mast?
Yes. Optional single and dual mast brackets are available in portrait and landscape for both sizes. Alpha 7 brackets suit mast diameters from 90 mm to 150 mm and Alpha 9 brackets from 120 mm to 210 mm, and brackets for the same size and orientation can be stacked into arrays.
