5.1 General cabling guidance
Cable types and length
It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length
• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cables of the
correct type, supplied by Raymarine.
• Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of the correct
quality and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may
require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the
run.
Routing cables
Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize performance and
prolong cable life.
• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure
a minimum bend diameter of 200 mm (8 in) / minimum bend
radius of 100 mm (4 in).
100 mm (4 in)
200 mm (8 in)
• Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat.
Use trunking or conduit where possible. Do NOT run cables
through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil
any extra cable and tie it out of the way.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or
deckhead, use a suitable watertight feed-through.
• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.
Always route data cables as far away as possible from:
• other equipment and cables,
• high current carrying ac and dc power lines,
• antennae.
Strain relief
Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors
from strain and ensure they will not pull out under extreme sea
conditions.
Cable shielding
Ensure that the cable is properly shielded that the cable shielding
is intact (e.g. hasn’t been scraped off by being squeezed through
a tight area).
5.2 Cable connection
The display has a combined power and transducer cable that
is attached to the transducer.

3. Drain wire (The drain wire is the wire with a sheath).
4. Black wire (12 V dc negative).
5. Red wire (12 V dc positive).
Power distribution
Raymarine recommends that all power connections are made
via a distribution panel.
• All equipment must be powered from a breaker or switch, with
appropriate circuit protection.
• All equipment should be wired to individual breakers if
possible.
Warning: Power supply voltage
Connecting this product to a voltage supply greater
than the specified maximum rating may cause
permanent damage to the unit. Refer to the
Technical specification section for voltage rating.

1. Ensure the display’s rear connector locking collar is in the
un-locked position.
2. Orientate the cable connector so that the guide lines up with
the guide in the display’s rear connector.
3. Push the cable connector all the way into the display
connector.
4. Rotate the locking collar clockwise to lock into position.
