Maintenance
All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation. We also
put them through comprehensive testing and quality assurance procedures before shipping.
EMC, servicing and safety guidelines
• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service techni-
cians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect
performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
• Some products generate high voltages: never handle the cables/connectors when power
is being supplied to the equipment.
• When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can
cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a conse-
quent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects and enable you to
get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given
in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between dif-
ferent items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
• Always report EMC-related problems to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such
information to improve our quality standards.
NO DATA Caused by any of the following situations:
• the compass is not connected
• the autopilot is in Wind Vane mode and it has not received wind
angle data for 30 seconds
• the autopilot is in Track mode and:
• the autopilot is not receiving SeaTalk navigation data, or
• the position sensor is receiving a low strength signal – this will
clear when the signal improves
Check the connections to the compass and/or navigator.
