Warning: Product grounding
Before applying power to this product, ensure it has
been correctly grounded, in accordance with the
instructions in this guide.
Grounding — Dedicated drain wire
The power cable supplied with this product includes a dedicated
shield (drain) wire for connection to a vessel's RF ground point.
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the
system. A single ground point should be used for all equipment.
The unit can be grounded by connecting the shield (drain) wire
of the power cable to the vessel's RF ground point. On vessels
without an RF ground system the shield (drain) wire should be
connected directly to the negative battery terminal.
The dc power system should be either:
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal
connected to the vessel's ground.
• Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the
vessel's ground
Warning: Positive ground systems
Do not connect this unit to a system which has
positive grounding.
4.4 Transducer connection
This product is designed for use with DownVision transducers.
• Refer to 3.5 Compatible transducers for a list of compatible
transducers.

Warning: Transducer cables
Do not remove the transducer cable whilst the
product is powered on, doing so can cause sparks.
If the transducer cable is accidently removed whilst
the product is powered on, switch the product's
power off, replace the cable and then switch the
power back on.
Caution: Do not cut transducer
cables
• Cutting the transducer cable severely reduces
sonar performance. If the cable is cut, it must be
replaced, it cannot be repaired.
• Cutting the transducer cable will void the
warranty and invalidate the European CE mark.
Transducer cable extension
For some installations it may be necessary to extend the
transducer cable.
• Refer to Chapter 10 Options and accessories for a list of
suitable transducer extension cables.
• Raymarine recommends a maximum of one cable extension
for any single transducer cable.
• For best performance, keep all cable lengths to a minimum.
