Raystar 112LP GPS Transducer Installation
EMC Installation & Service 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 Electro-
magnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but good 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.
Installation
All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;
•
At least 1m (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 2m (7ft).
•
More than 2m (ft) from the path of a radar beam.
•
The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. This will not damage the equipment, but
may cause the loss of some information and can change the operating
mode.
•
Genuine Raytheon cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation
manual.
Check Before Going to Sea
•
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it
is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc...
•
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment
from being affected by external influences. In general this will not
damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily
may result in faulty operation.
Servicing and Safety
•
This product contains no user servicable parts.
•
Raytheon equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raytheon
service engineers. They will ensure that service procedures and
replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user
serviceable parts in any Raytheon product.
•
Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raytheon
dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality
standards.
