Chapter 5: Installation
5.1 Planning the Installation
This chapter explains how to install and connect the ST6000 Plus
autopilot control unit. Before starting the installation, decide how you
will site the unit and run the cables.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure 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.
To minimise the risk of operating problems:
• All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;
• At least 1 m (3 feet) 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
(7 ft).
• More than 2 m (7 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 equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will
not damage the equipment, but will cause the loss of some
information and can change the operating mode.
• Raytheon specified cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
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 has to be removed during installation it
must be reassembled in the same position.
