Raymarine RVM-100, Installation Instructions Manual, Page: 37 / 56

9.2 Connecting the transducer
The transducer can be connected directly to the RealVision™ connector on
the rear of Axiom™ 2 Pro MFDs, or the RVM1600 sonar module.
A right-angled connector adaptor cable (A80515) is available for installations
where space behind the MFD is limited.
• A — MFD / sonar module connector.
• B — Orientation indicator.
1. Ensure the power supply to your MFD / sonar module is switched off.
2. Ensuring correct orientation, push the connector fully into the RealVision
connection of your MFD / sonar module.
The cable connector includes a marking to indicate the top of the
connector.
3. Turn the locking collar clockwise to secure the connection.
9.3 RealVision transducer extension cables
Your transducer is supplied with a fitted cable, for some installations
(including all split-pair transducer installations) it may be necessary to extend
the length of the transducer cable.
Note:
• For best performance, cable runs should be kept to a minimum.
• Only use Raymarine® transducer extension cables.
Raymarine® offers he following optional extension cables are available:
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 3 m (9.8 ft) (part number A80475)
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 5 m (16.4 ft) (part number A80476)
• RealVision™ transducer extension cable 8 m (26.2 ft) (part number A80477)
Split pair transducers: Extension cables fitted between the transducer and
the ‘Y’ cable must be fitted in equal length pairs (i.e.: each transducer’s final
cable length must be the same).
9.4 Maximum transducer cable length
The maximum length of cable between a RealVision™ Max 3D transducer and
a MFD/sonar module (including the transducer’s captive cable) must NOT
exceed 18 m (59 ft). Cable lengths greater than this may cause damage to
the RealVision™ Max 3D transducer and MFD/sonar module.
