Raymarine RVX1000, Installation Instructions Manual

Page: 10 / 108

Warning: Sonar operation
• NEVER operate the sonar with the vessel out of the water.
• NEVER touch the transducer face when the sonar is powered on.
• SWITCH OFF the sonar if divers are likely to be within 7.6 m (25 ft) of the
transducer.
Caution: Do not cut transducer cables
• Cutting the transducer cable severely reduces sonar performance. If the cable
is cut, it must be replaced, it cannot be repaired.
• Cutting the transducer cable will void the warranty and invalidate the European
CE mark.
Caution: Service and maintenance
This product contains no user serviceable components. Please refer all
maintenance and repair to authorized Raymarine dealers. Unauthorized repair
may affect your warranty.
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.
EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the
effect such interference could have on the performance of your system
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
Note: In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slight interference may be noticed on the
product. Where this occurs the product and the source of the interference should be separated
by a greater distance.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible:
• Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
– At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios,
cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).
– More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to
spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
• The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important
to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a
separate battery.
