Water ingress
Water ingress disclaimer
Although the waterproof rating capacity of this
product meets the stated IPX standard (refer to the
product’s
Technical Specification ), 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.
Suppression ferrites
• Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied
with suppression ferrites. These are important for
correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied
separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you
must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied
instructions.
• 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 or its authorized dealers.
• Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to
be added to a cable, additional cable clips should
be used to prevent stress on the connectors due
to the extra weight of the cable.
