EMC Servicing and maintenance
•
Undue noise and interference may be a symptom of an EMC related problem,
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We
use such information to improve our quality standards.
•
To minimize any EMC related problems and ensure the best possible
performance from your Raymarine equipment, follow the guidelines given in the
installation instructions.
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are important for
correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed for maintenance purposes must be
replaced in the original position once the maintenance is complete.
Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers.
Pilot Controller
The Pilot Controller is a sealed unit, so user maintenance is limited to the following
routine tasks:
•
Ensure all cable connectors are securely connected.
•
Examine the controller and cables for signs of wear or damage. Replace any
damaged components.
CAUTION: Avoid damage when cleaning
Do NOT wipe the Pilot Controller display screen with a dry cloth as
this could scratch the screen coating.
Using a clean, damp cloth, wipe the Pilot Controller. Do NOT use chemical or abrasive
materials to clean the controller.
Note:
In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display screen. This will not
harm the unit, and you can clear it by switching on the illumination for a short time.
Tiller drive
Routine maintenance
After each trip, wash the drive unit with fresh water, to remove salt or other deposits.
