1. EMC Installation & Service Guidelines
All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct
installation is essential to maintain EMC performance and CE
compliance. 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.
Installation
All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;
• At least 1m (3ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying
radio signals eg. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of
SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft).
• More than 2m (7ft) from the path of a radar beam.
• The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10.7V in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will
not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some
information and can change the operating mode.
• Genuine Raytheon cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation
manual.
