Chapter 2: Installation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides instructions to assist in planning the installation of
the RC435/435i Chartplotter aboard your vessel.
Note:
If you wish to practice using the RC435/435i Chartplotter before
installation, you can connect it, via a 1A quick blow fuse, to a 12VDC
power supply and operate it using the simulator mode, as described in
Chapter 3:Getting Started.
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation
is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although
every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all
conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the
operation of the product.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever
possible:
•
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
• At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carry-
ing radio signals (for example: VHF radios, cables and antennas.)
• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam
can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below
the radiating element.
•
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 reassembled 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.
