Raymarine RVM-100, Installation Instructions Manual

8.1 General cabling guidance
Cable types and length
It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length.
• Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine.
• Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of
correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power
cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along
the run).
Strain relief
Use adequate strain relief for cabling to ensure that connectors are protected
from strain and will not pull out under extreme sea conditions.
Cable shielding
Ensure that cable shielding is not damaged during installation and that all
cables are properly shielded.
Caution: Transducer cable
• Do NOT use the transducer cable to lift or suspend the
transducer; always support the transducer body directly
during installation.
• Do NOT cut, shorten, or splice the transducer cable.
• Do NOT remove the connector.
If the cable is cut, it cannot be repaired. Cutting the cable will
also void the warranty.
