Chapter 1: Important information
Safety notices
Warning: Product installation and
operation
This product must be installed and operated in
accordance with the instructions provided. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury, damage to
your vessel and/or poor product performance.
Warning: Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in
hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do NOT install
in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere (such as in
an engine room or near fuel tanks).
Warning: High voltage
This product contains high voltage. Adjustments
require specialized service procedures and tools
only available to qualified service technicians.
There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments.
The operator should never remove the cover or
attempt to service the product.
Warning: Positive ground systems
Do not connect this unit to a system which has
positive grounding.
Warning: Switch off power supply
Ensure the vessel’s power supply is switched OFF
before starting to install this product. Do NOT
connect or disconnect equipment with the power
switched on, unless instructed in this document.
Caution: Transducer cable
Do NOT cut, shorten, splice the transducer cable or
remove the connector. If the cable is cut, it cannot
be repaired. Cutting the cable will also void the
warranty.
Caution: Power supply protection
When installing this product ensure the power
source is adequately protected by means of a
suitably-rated fuse or automatic circuit breaker.
Caution: Service and maintenance
This product contains no user serviceable
components. Please refer all maintenance
and repair to authorized Raymarine dealers.
Unauthorized repair may affect your warranty.
Caution: Cleaning
When cleaning this product:
• Do NOT wipe the display screen with a dry cloth,
as this could scratch the screen coating.
• Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or ammonia based
products.
• Do NOT use a jet wash.
Caution: Condensation
Certain atmospheric conditions may cause a small
amount of condensation to form on the unit's
window. This will not damage the unit and will clear
after the unit has been switched on for a short
period.
Water ingress
Water ingress disclaimer
Although the waterproof rating capacity of this product meets
the IPX6 standard, water intrusion and subsequent equipment
failure may occur if the product is subjected to commercial
high-pressure washing. Raymarine will not warrant products
subjected to high-pressure washing.
Disclaimer
Raymarine does not warrant that this product is error-free or that
it is compatible with products manufactured by any person or
entity other than Raymarine.
Raymarine is not responsible for damages or injuries caused by
your use or inability to use the product, by the interaction of the
product with products manufactured by others, or by errors in
information utilized by the product supplied by third parties.
EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the
appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations,
to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment
and minimize the effect such interference could have on the
performance of your system
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance
is not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever
possible:
• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or
cables carrying radio signals 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 2 m (7 ft) 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 product is supplied from a separate battery from that used
for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior
and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not
have a separate battery.
• Raymarine specified cables are used.
• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in
the installation manual.
Note: Where constraints on the installation prevent
any of the above recommendations
, always ensure the
maximum possible separation between different items of
electrical equipment, to provide the best conditions for EMC
performance throughout the installation
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These
are important for correct EMC performance. If a ferrite has to be
removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it
must be replaced in the original position before the product is
used.
Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine
authorized dealers.
