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 (3.3 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 2 m (6.6 ft).
– More than 2 m (6.6 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.
• Raymarine specified cables are used.
• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in
the installation manual.
Note:
Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the
above recommendations
, always ensure the maximum possible
separation between different items of electrical equipment, to
provide the best conditions for EMC performance throughout
the installation.
Product disposal
Dispose of this product in accordance with the WEEE Directive.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
requires the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment
which contains materials, components and substances that
may be hazardous and present a risk to human health and the
environment when WEEE is not handled correctly.
Equipment marked with the crossed-out wheeled
bin symbol indicates that the equipment should
not be disposed of in unsorted household waste.
Local authorities in many regions have established
collection schemes under which residents
can dispose of waste electrical and electronic
equipment at a recycling center or other collection
point.

points for waste electrical and electronic
equipment in your region, refer to the Raymarine
