4 SeaTalk Remote Keypad Owner’s Handbook
• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can
compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is
detailed in the installation manual.
• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reas-
sembled in the same position.
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with
Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the
cable near the Raymarine unit.
Tools
• 5 mm drill bit
• 45 mm (1.77 in) tank cutter/hole saw
• Power drill
• Screwdrivers
Site requirements
The SeaTalk Remote Keypad must be installed:
• In a flat, smooth location.
• At least 230 mm (9 in) away from your vessel’s steering compass and 500 mm
(20 in) from radio equipment.
• So there is sufficient space behind the facia to accommodate the cables, fixing
studs and thumb nuts.
If you intend siting the keypad next to an instrument or another keypad, make
sure that they are separated by at least 3 mm to enable sun covers to be fitted,
when required.
