EMC Installation Guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:

Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

At least 3 ft. (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio sig-

nals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m). More than 7 ft. (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some infor-

mation and may change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can com-

promise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. Chapter 1: Preparation for installation 9 If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position. Suppression Ferrites The illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. D6626-1 Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit. Locating the display Your E-Series display can either be flush-mounted or mounted using the trunnion bracket supplied. Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering:

Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) vary slightly with viewing angle and are best viewed perpendicular to the display. The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel controls. Avoid installing where excessive reflection will occur in normal use. Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connec-

tions to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cables. Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receiv-

ers (see EMC Guidelines). Magnetic compass: Mount the display at least 3ft (1m) away from a magnetic compass. Cable runs: The display should be mounted as near as possible to a Direct Current

(DC) power source. All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physi-

cal damage and excessive vibration. Avoid running cables through bilges or door-

ways, or close to moving or hot objects. Environmental: The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray. The rear of the display should be in a well ventilated space to ensure air circulation to the rear of the unit. 10 E-Series Installation Manual EMC Conformance Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. Chapter 2: System Integration 11 Chapter 2: System Integration Introduction This chapter provides an overview of system integration, you may find that your system does not use all the protocols or contain all the instrumentation that is described in it. However it is hoped that the information supplied will help in your understanding of how systems can be integrated and used successfully. 2.1 What is System Integration?

System integration enables various instruments and displays to communicate with each other and use the collected data to increase the functionality of the system. This data exchange is only possible if the data gathering is accurate, and transfer between instruments is fast and accurate. Fast and accurate data transfer is achieved by using a combination of the following data protocols:

SeaTalk. SeaTalk2. National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)0183. NMEA 2000. SeaTalkhs (High Speed). When two or more E-Series Displays are networked, all shared data can be viewed on any display. What is SeaTalk?

SeaTalk The SeaTalk protocol enables compatible instruments to be connected to a simple network by way of a single cable carrying power (12 volts, 150 mA) and data in/out, without a central processor. Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate with other non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is used. SeaTalk2 SeaTalk2 is an enhanced replacement for SeaTalk and is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. It enables other Raymarine 12 E-Series Installation Manual SeaTalk2 devices to talk to each other, whilst maintaining near transparent NMEA 2000 compatibility. SeaTalkhs (High Speed) SeaTalk High Speed is designed to provide a plug and play, ethernet based marine network. It supports up to 8 nodes e.g. 7 displays and a DSM300/400, which can be connected to a compatible device, display, DSM etc. to give you access to all radar, fishfinder, chart cartridge and instrument data, waypoints, routes, tracks and navigation information held on the system. What is NMEA?

NMEA 0183 The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard to enable equipment from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information. The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the important difference in that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display. This information is passed in sentences, each of which has a three-letter sentence identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that the same sentence identifiers are used:

VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data. GLL - carries latitude and longitude. DBT - carries water depth. MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data. NMEA 2000 NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable. The standard was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via standardized message types and formats. Chapter 2: System Integration 2.2 Compatibility Analogue Radar Scanners 13 CAUTION: Radar Analogue Scanners, Cables & Installation Information on analogue radar scanners, cables and their installation contained in this handbook supersedes that contained in the Pathfinder Radar Scanner Handbook, Document No. 81154_8, dated 12th January 2005. To achieve full analogue radar compatibility with your E-Series Display, your Raymarine analogue radar may require upgrading. Please check the list below to see if this upgrade is required. The scanner serial number can be found on a label attached to the scanner casing:

Analogue Scanner type/model Serial Number Compatibility 2Kw Radome - Pathfinder 1220000 and below 1220001 - 0530157 0530158 and above 2Kw Radome - RD218 All 4Kw Radome - Pathfinder 1220000 and below 1222001 - 0530246 0530247 and above 4Kw Radome - RD424 All Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible Fully compatible Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible Fully compatible Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible 4Kw Open Array 10Kw Open Array 1030000 and below 1030001 - 1230143 1230144 and above 0430000 and below 0430001 and above Not compatible Fully compatible Note: All displays with software version 4.0 or above are compatible with digital Radar. The analogue open array system will also require a split pedestal cable. If your analogue radar scanner requires upgrading, please contact your local Raymarine dealer for full information. Digital Sounder Module Important:

In order for your Digital Sounder Module (DSM) to be compatible with your E-Series display, you will need either a DSM300 (Part no. E63049), or DSM400 (Part no E63072). 14 Engines E-Series Installation Manual For up-to-date information relating to compatible engines together with installation information, please refer to our website. Media storage cards Navionics Chart cards To use your E-Series Display as a navigation aid, charts with detailed information for the area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available on Navionics Chart cards. A chart card provides an appropriate level of detail and scale for a given geographic area. Up to 6 Gold or 2 Platinum chart cards can be used in an E-Series Networked system. The maximum capacity Navionics card is 16Gb. To obtain suitable Navionics Chart Cards, contact your local dealer or visit the Navionics web sites: www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it. Alternatively, in North America call Navionics toll-free on 1-800-848-5896. Outside of North America, contact your local dealer or call Navionics SpA on tel:

(+39) 0584 961696 or fax: (+39) 0584 961309. CompactFlash cards It is possible to archive or transfer information to and from your E-Series display and other compatible instruments using CompactFlash cards. To achieve the best results it is recommended that SAN DISK CF memory cards are used. Chapter 2: System Integration 2.3 Functionality 15 For full functionality some applications require a dedicated transducer to provide specific data. The table on page16 summarizes the data required by each application and the major functions of your E-Series Display. In particular, position, heading and speed data are required for the following functions:

Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course Up and Head Up modes. Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same source as position data (GPS). Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-

lay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is pro-

vided if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or com-

patible Raymarine autopilot. 16 E-Series Installation Manual Data or equipment required for applications/functions Application/function n o i t a t n e m u r t s n I r o t i n o m e n g n E i r e d n i f h s i F I D C r e h t a e W x e t v a N o e d V i A P R A M S I A r a d a R t r a h C t n e m p i u q e

If you are still unsure as to your scanners suitability, please refer to an authorized Raymarine dealer.

(2) Engine output from a compatible engine manufacturer is also required. See Raymarine.com for latest compatibility information.

(3) Whilst an AIS receiver is not required for the radar and chart applications to function, this receiver is necessary if AIS functionality is required within radar and chart. Chapter 2: System Integration 17 2.4 Integrating an E-Series display As there are many possible combinations integrating digital E-Series, four typical systems are described here to demonstrate various combinations:

Single E-Series display with a single digital input connected via a crossover cou-

pler, and various analogue inputs connected to the corresponding inputs at the rear of the digital E-Series unit. Two E-Series displays connected via a crossover coupler with various analogue inputs A single E-Series display and a single digital input such as a DSM300, DSM400 or digital radar connected via a crossover coupler, with various other analogue inputs. A networked digital E-series system with either one, two or more E-Series dis-

plays, a DSM300 or DSM400 and a digital radar; all routed through a SeaTalk High Speed switch to form a network, along with various analogue; and/or digi-

tal inputs. The diagrams that follow show these systems. Adapt these as appropriate to create the required system. 18 E-Series Installation Manual Single display system This simple system incorporates a single display with a DSM 300/400 and analogue or digital radar.

This will enable you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another. When you are installing a network of E-Series Displays you should note the following:

One display will act as the master for SeaTalk, NMEA 0183 and system data including waypoints, routes and tracks. All SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 connections should be made to this master. If you connect the instrumentations master display (i.e. speed master) to all other displays in the system via SeaTalk or SeaTalk2, you will negate the need to unplug and reconnect cabling if the master becomes unavailable. The bridging of data from SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 only occurs at the master. You cannot therefore have additional networks connected to additional E-Series Displays. You can however connect multiple NMEA inputs. As it is not possible to view a video image across the network, you should con-

nect the Video In cable to the display on which you wish to view the image. The following two pages detail a simple E-Series Networked System with two E-

Series displays and Digital inputs (DSM & Radar) and a more advanced, multiple node system incorporating two (or more) displays and a DSM 300/400. 20 E-Series Installation Manual A typical two node system incorporating two displays Open array scanner Digital radar or Radome scanner SeaTalkhs switch DSM 300 (as shown) or DSM400 or SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs E-series display SeaTalkhs E-series display

Siting and securing cables When installing system cables, please note the following:

All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. Connectors should be protected from damage. If it proves necessary to pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord, this should be attached several inches behind the connector. Do not attach a tie immediately behind or around the connector. Acute bends must be avoided. Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight feed-through should be used. Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way. Do not remove the SeaTalk High Speed blanking plug from the rear of the display until such time as you are ready to connect the cable. Failure to adhere to this, may result in the ingress of water and permanent damage to the display. Connecting cables WARNING: To avoid damaging the multi functional display, ensure the display and all peripherals to be connected are powered down. CAUTION: Do not remove the SeaTalk High Speed blanking plug from the rear of the display until such time as you are ready to connect the cable. Failure to adhere to this may result in water ingress and permanent damage to the display. To ensure that your E-Series Display functions correctly, you will need to connect the following cables:

SeaTalk/Alarm Out cable (if SeaTalk system connected). NMEA cable (if third party equipment, NMEA multiplexer, fast heading sensor, RS232 interface or course computer fitted).

Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing relative to your boats bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct bearing reading is obtained. You can carry out a bearing alignment in two ways:

Bearing alignment with your boat moored To use this method you will need a hand bearing compass:

1. Visually identify a suitable target, such as a buoy that can be seen towards the edge of the radar screen. Typically, this will be on the 1.5nm range. 2. Determine the accurate bearing of the target relative to your boats bow using the hand bearing compass. To do this subtract your boat head bearing from the target visual bearing, these examples may help:

Example 1 Example 2 Visual bearing (a) = 065 M Visual bearing (a) = 030 M Ships head bearing (b) = 021 M Ships head bearing (b) = 042 M Relative bearing:

= (a) - (b)

= 065 - 021 = 044 R Relative bearing:

= (a) - (b)

= 030 - 042 = -012 If answer is negative, add 360 =

-012 + 360 = 348 R 3. From the primary radar soft keys, press VRM/EBL. 4. Toggle the VRM/EBL soft key to ON. Adjust the EBL to your chosen target. If there is a difference between your calculated bearing and that shown for the EBL, there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment

(see below). Bearing alignment with your boat under way 1. Align your boats bow with the selected target. 2. Note the position of the target relative to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM) on the radar picture. If the target is not under the SHM, there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. For details see below. Adjusting the bearing alignment 1. 2.

The sky view graphic shows the position of these satellites. D6809_2 46 E-Series Installation Manual Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position. Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0. When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX. If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on page53. The option to select differential or satellite differential fix is dependent upon the capabilities of the attached GPS. If your boat is equipped with a Raymarine GPS, the Differential GPS can be switched on or off using the appropriate soft key. 1 _ 3 5 4 7 D Heading data checks If your display is connected to a compass, autopilot or fast heading sensor, your boats heading will be displayed in the data bar.

If No Signal is displayed, check the video in and video out cable connections. If the problem persists, please contact Raymarine Technical Services (seepage54). SeaTalkhs network switch connection tests To ensure that your SeaTalkhs network switch is connected, you should check the following:

The Switch should display a static green light (right) and a flashing green light (left) for each connecting port. If your switch is only displaying a left flashing light, data will be transferred but the connection will be at low speed. Open a radar, chart and fishfinder application window on all display units and check that the appropriate data is displayed throughout the network. If you are not receiving any data, check the cable connections to the rear of the display and the SeaTalkhs Switch. If the problem persists, please contact Raymarine Technical Services (seepage54). Setting up the NMEA for AIS or Navtex If you have a Navtex or AIS receiver attached to the NMEA 0183 port, you will need to change the NMEA Port Setting. This feature is accessed via the System Setup Menu/

System Integration Setup Menu. You can connect either AIS or Navtex or other instrument to one display. In multiple display systems each display can be configured independently and all data will be shared across the system. Connected to equipment to NMEA port Setting Additional information General NMEA instruments NMEA 4800 Default setting Navtex receiver Navtex 4800 Navtex 9600 Please refer to your Navtex receiver manual for details of the appropriate setting. AIS receiver AIS 38400 Instrument data tests To ensure that your system is receiving instrument data, you should check the following:

From SeaTalk or SeaTalk2 Open the instrument application and ensure all relevant data is displayed. If you are not receiving data, check cable connections. Chapter 4: Commissioning the system 49 From third party devices on NMEA 0183 Check that appropriate NMEA sentences are being sent from the third party device and on the E-Series Display. Open the instrument application and ensure all relevant data is displayed. Running AIS In order to run AIS, you will need:

A receive only AIS unit or a full transponder. A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will not allow other vessels to see you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS data and therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other AIS equipped vessels to see and receive information about your vessel. This could include position, course, speed and rate of turn data. A VHF antenna (part of an AIS system). A GPS. A Compass - although not essential, this will enhance performance. When the AIS unit is connected to the E-Series display, the status of the unit is indicated by an AIS icon in the transducer data box. You will now need to specify the 38,400 baud rate for the NMEA port that communicates with the AIS transceivers and receivers (see the table on page48). AIS unit not available i.e. not connected or off. AIS unit switched on and operating. AIS unit on with active alarm. AIS unit switched on and operating but dangerous &

lost target alarm disabled. 1 _ 4 1 0 9 D Weather application tests To test your Weather application create and open a weather window (see the Weather Chapter of the Reference Manual). If your E-Series is receiving information from the weather receiver the following will be displayed:

The signal strength status (High, Medium or Low) in the status bar. If No connec-

tion is noted, your weather receiver is not communicating with your Display. In the System Diagnostics menu, select External Interfaces/Sirius Weather sub-

menu and then the RX soft key. A value should be displayed against the weather graphics. If zero values are displayed, data is not being received by your E-Series display. 50 E-Series Installation Manual 4.5 Advanced Settings (analogue radar) The Advanced Set Up features allow you to set the values for the following parameters that affect the fine tuning of your radar:

The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly. If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:

Head Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading upwards. As heading changes, boat symbol remains fixed Course Up (C-Up) - chart picture stabilized, current course upwards. Boat symbol moves as heading changes. To change the orientation mode:

PRESENTATION... CHART MODE AND ORIENTATION... ORIENTATION H-UP N-UP C-UP Toggle as required How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?

How your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your boat i.e. If desired, you can change the motion mode to:

True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat and the target waypoint This option is not available when radar/chart synchronization is ON.

A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an

'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument. Waypoint Networked systems If you have networked two or more E-Series Displays, the waypoints are stored on the master display and transferred to other displays via the SeaTalk High Speed network.

Card 12 SHOW/HIDE ROUTES FOLLOW ROUTE OPTIONS BUILD NEW ROUTE REVIEW AND EDIT ROUTES What is a route?

A route is made up of a series of waypoints. These waypoints can either be placed specifically for that route and/or you can use existing waypoints. You can save a route for future use or follow it immediately (Quick Route). Routes are stored in a route list. If you have networked two or more E-Series displays, the routes are stored in the master display and are transferred to the other displays via the SeaTalk High Speed network. Routes can be named, edited, erased and archived. After routes have been created you can choose which ones are displayed on your chart.

TARGET TRACKING... GAIN... ENHANCE ECHOES... PRESENTATION... Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM). Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes. How do I measure distances, ranges and bearings with the radar?

VRMs Align a VRM on a target to display its range from your boat:

e.g. ADJUST VRM 1.800nm EBLs Align an EBL on a target to display its bearing relative to your boat's heading:

e.g. ADJUST EBL 30.00S Combined VRM/EBL Combine a VRM and EBL to measure range and bearing of specified target. e.g. ADJUST VRM 1.800nm ADJUST EBL 30.00S Rings 1/2nm Range rings Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between two points or from your boat. Note: Range/bearing also displayed when VRM/EBL selected with the cursor.

Using MARPA.... Card 15 MONITOR IN ZONES ACQUIRE TARGET MARPA & AIS OPTIONS MARPA LIST AIS LIST What is MARPA?

Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation. MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost. NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required. How do I set up the MARPA functions?

Using AIS Card 16 AIS VECTOR ON OFF AIS DATA AUTO ON OFF VIEW FULL AIS DATA What is AIS?

AIS uses digital radio signals to broadcast realtime information between vessels and shore based stations via dedicated VHF frequencies. This information is used to identify and track vessels in the surrounding area and to provide collision avoidance data. AIS will augment your radar application, as it can operate in radar blind spots. In order to use the AIS feature, you will need a GPS and compass for timing and position information together with data from a suitable AIS receiver. How do I display AIS?

On chart windows:

AIS LAYER ON OFF Toggle as required PRESENTATION... CHART LAYERS... On radar windows:

PRESENTATION... AIS LAYER ON OFF Toggle as required How is AIS data displayed?

The AIS system displays other AIS equipped vessels in the surrounding area as targets overlaid on a chart or radar window. Up to 100 targets are displayed and are scaled according to the size of the vessel. A vector indicates the direction of travel of the vessel. As the vessels status changes, the symbol for the target will change accordingly. You can view detailed AIS data, safety critical target information, Alarm message (ALR) and Safety Related Message (SRM) messages. You can also set up a safe zone. How do I view target information?

If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or SeaTalk High Speed Switch), all system data (from NMEA 0183, SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, NMEA 2000, SeaTalkhs waypoints, routes etc) can be transferred across the network enabling you to input, view and maintain data across all your displays irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input). How is the network controlled?

The display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be switched on (preferably first). The master display maintains the waypoint, route and track lists as well as data from NMEA and SeaTalk. Each time the master display detects a change on any display e.g. waypoint, route or track added or edited, the data is copied to the database which in turn is copied to all other Displays that are switched on. If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because a master has not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to set a master display. How do I change the master display?

Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance. Installation Installation EMC installation guidelines All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what facts could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these condi-

tions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended wherever possible:

Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

At least 3 ft. (1m) from any other equipment transmitting or carrying radio signals. In the case of Single Side Band (SSB) radio, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2m). More than 7 ft. (2m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery to that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10.8 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the oper-

ating mode. 6 Box contents Digital Radome Scanner - User Guide Required tools 10 mm drill bit Drill Adhesive tape 13 mm socket Torque wrench D11365-1 Radome Scanner Digital cable M8 bolt (x4) Spring Flat washer (x4) washer (x4) Drill 4 holes, 10 mm diameter

The radar beam is approximately 25o wide in the vertical direction, giving good target detection when your boat pitches and rolls. D11359-1 Forward Wedge or washers D11360-1 Planing hull and some displacement hull boats adopt a higher bow angle when the boat is at cruising speed, giving poor target detection. It may be necessary to lower the radar beam back towards the parallel, by shimming the rear of the radar, so that the beam points slightly down when the boat is at rest. Refer to the diagram on page 14 for more information. D11358-1 Mount the scanner as high as possible above the waterline for better long range performance, but make sure it:

is above head height. is easily accessible. is as near to the boats centerline as possible. is on a rigid and stable platform. is clear of large objects such as the flybridge, large engine stacks, searchlights, horns or masts. is clear of heat and fumes. is at least 1 m away from a magnetic compass or other equipment antenna. Dont put the scanner so high, that it is affected by the pitching and rolling of the boat. Installation 9 Cable requirements You must consider the following points before installing the system cables:

You need to connect the scanner to the multi-function display unit and power (and, if appropriate, via a SeaTalkhs switch). All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat - avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. Acute bends must be avoided. The digital cable for connecting the Digital Radome scanner to a multi-function display and power source has a minimum bend radius of 45mm (or diameter of 90mm). Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used. Avoid cutting and rejoining cables. Scanner cables Running the cable to the scanner DO NOT pull the cable through bulkheads using a cord attached to the connector. This could damage connections. The cable connector is at the rear of the scanner unit. If the unit is mounted on a hollow mast, the cable may be run inside the mast and connected to the unit. Make sure that the cable does not chafe where it enters and exits the mast. To minimize electrical interference try to avoid running radar cables near other onboard electrical equipment. It is also good practice to avoid running radar cables in parallel with other antenna or power cables. Digital cable The digital cable, illustrated below, provides both power and SeaTalkhs signals to the Digital Radome scanner. It is fitted with a SeaTalkhs plug and power cores for connecting to the scanner. To Digital Radome scanner To display and power D11371_1 Part No. A55076 - 5 m cable. Part No. A55077 - 10 m cable. Part No. A55078 - 15 m cable. Part No. A55079 - 25 m cable. For Digital Radome scanners that are purchased with a cable, the length should be sufficient to complete the cable run on most small boats. For longer runs, and for Digital Radome scanners that are purchased without a cable, optional cables and extension cables are available. Optional cable lengths available are:

The following extension cables are also available:

For boats with 12 V DC power systems, the maximum cable length is 25 m

(including any extension). If you need to run a longer cable length with a 12v supply, please contact Raymarine technical support for further advice. Note: Do not make your own cables for use with the Digital Radome Part No. A92141 - 2.5 m extension cable. Part No. A55080 - 5 m extension cable. Part No. A55081 - 10 m extension cable. scanner. Only use official Raymarine cables. 10 Digital Radome Scanner - User Guide Power cables Digital Radome radar systems are intended for use on boats DC power systems operating in the range 12 to 24 V DC. The Digital Radome scanners should not be used on nominal 32 V systems. If you are replacing an existing (Analog) Radome scanner with a Digital Radome scanner, you must replace the existing cable with the cable that is included with (or purchased separately for) the Digital Radome scanner. Power requirements This radar is NOT recommended for use on positive ground boats. The power cable earth screen must be connected to the boats ground. The boats power system should be either:

Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the boats ground, or, Floating with neither battery terminal connected to the boats ground. The following diagram shows the cables power and ground connections:

Red - Battery +ve (12/24 V) Black - Battery -ve (0 V) D8865_1 Ground Fuse requirements The power connection to the Digital Radome scanner should be made at either the output of the battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribu-

tion panel. The power connection must be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power source. The following table details the fuse requirements for both 18 and 24 Digital Radomes:

WARNING: If there is not a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit (for example, fitted to your DC distribu-

tion panel), you must fit an inline breaker or fuse to the positive (red) connection of the power cable. Table 2-1: Fuse requirements Power supply Device Rating 12 V 24 V Isolator Switch Thermal Breaker Fuse Isolator Switch Thermal Breaker Fuse 20 A 10 A 15 A 15 A 5 A 8 A Grounding the radar system It is important that an effective radio frequency (RF) ground is connected to the radar system. You must ground the radar by connecting the drain wire (screen) of the power cable to the nearest ground point of your boats RF ground system. Full details can be found in the Owners Handbook for your multi-function display unit. If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm braid or 6 mm2 (AWG 10) multi-strand cable. If your vessel does not have an RF system, connect the drain wire to the negative battery terminal. Note: Use only this ground connection. Installation 11 Connecting the power and digital cables The following must be observed:

The threads of the Digital Radome digital cable external connector should be lightly greased with Renolit Aqua 2 Calcium grease if disconnected after the initial installation. Preferred connection of the power cable is directly to your boats power distribution panel. Care should be taken to ensure a firm connection between the Digital Radomes external connector and the digital cable connector. The digital cable connection to the Digital Radome scanner must be hand-tightened only. The following diagrams show the various configurations in which the Digital Radome scanner may be connected to your multi-function display:
