utilized by the product supplied by third parties.
EMC installation guidelines

Warning: Positive ground systems
Do not connect this unit to a system which
has positive grounding.
Warning: Power supply voltage

Connecting this product to a voltage
supply greater than the specified
maximum rating may cause permanent
damage to the unit. Refer to the Technical
specification section for voltage rating.
Warning: Switch off power supply

Ensure the vessels power supply is
switched OFF before starting to install this
product. Do NOT connect or disconnect
equipment with the power switched on,
unless instructed in this document.
Caution: Power supply protection

When installing this product ensure the
power source is adequately protected
by means of a suitably-rated fuse or
automatic circuit breaker.
Caution: Service and maintenance

This product contains no user serviceable
components. Please refer all maintenance
and repair to authorized Raymarine
dealers. Unauthorized repair may affect
your warranty.
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 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 7 ft (2 m).
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 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.
Important information
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
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied
with suppression ferrites. These are important for
correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied
separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you
must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied
instructions.
If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g.
installation or maintenance), it must be replaced in
the original position before the product is used.
Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by
Raymarine or its authorized dealers.
Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to
be added to a cable, additional cable clips should
be used to prevent stress on the connectors due
to the extra weight of the cable.

4.3 Power connection
Implementation direct connection to battery
Both connections need power to be supplied from

each network i.e. The SeaTalkng connection is
powered by the SeaTalkng backbone or Seatalkng
device and the engine (DeviceNet) connection is
powered from the engines CAN bus network.
The power cable supplied with your product may

be connected directly to the vessel's battery, via a
suitably rated fuse or breaker.
The information in this section relates to powering

the SeaTalkng network. Power will already be
available on your engines CAN bus to power the
DeviceNet connection.

negative terminal.
Power distribution
Recommendations and best practice.
The product is supplied with a power cable. Only
use the power cable supplied with the product. Do
NOT use a power cable designed for, or supplied
with, a different product.
Refer to the Power connection section for more
information on how to identify the wires in your
products power cable, and where to connect them.
See below for more information on implementation
for some common power distribution scenarios.
Implementation connection to distribution

panel
Important: When planning and wiring, take into

consideration other products in your system, some
of which (e.g. sonar modules) may place large
power demand peaks on the vessels electrical
system.
Note: The information provided below is for
guidance only, to help protect your product. It
covers common vessel power arrangements, but
does NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure
how to provide the correct level of protection,
please consult an authorized Raymarine dealer or
a suitably qualified professional marine electrician.
D13348-1
Alternatively, the supplied power cable may be

connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the
vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power
distribution point.
The distribution point should be fed from the
vessels primary power source by 8 AWG
(8.36 mm2) cable.
23
Ideally, all equipment should be wired to individual

suitably-rated thermal breakers or fuses, with
appropriate circuit protection. Where this is not
possible and more than 1 item of equipment
shares a breaker, use individual in-line fuses
for each power circuit to provide the necessary
protection.
In all cases, observe the recommended
breaker / fuse ratings provided in the products
documentation.
If you need to extend the length of the power cable
supplied with your product, ensure you observe
the dedicated Power cable extensions advice
provided in the products documentation.

Product does not turn on or keeps turning off
Possible causes
Possible solutions
Blown fuse / tripped breaker
1.
Check condition of relevant fuses and breakers and connections, replace if

necessary (Refer to Chapter 9 Technical specification for fuse ratings.)
2.
If fuse keeps blowing check for cable damage, broken connector pins or
incorrect wiring.
1.
Check the units connector for broken or bent pins.
2.
Check that the cable connector is fully inserted into the unit and that the locking
collar is in the locked position.
3.
Check the power supply cable and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion,
replace if necessary.
4.
With the unit turned on, try flexing the power cable near to the display connector
to see if this causes the unit to re-boot/loose power, replace if necessary.
5.
Check the vessels battery voltage, the condition of the battery terminals and
power supply cables, ensuring connections are secure, clean and free from
corrosion, replace if necessary.
6.
With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for high voltage drop
across all connectors/fuses etc (this can cause the Fishfinder applications to
stop scrolling or the unit to reset/turn off), replace if necessary.
Poor / damaged / insecure power supply

cable / connections
Incorrect power connection
The power supply may be wired incorrectly, ensure the installation instructions have
been followed. (Refer to Chapter 4 Cables and connections for cable and connection
requirements.)
Power source insufficient
With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check the power supply voltage as
close to the unit as possible to establish actual voltage when the current is flowing.
(Refer to Chapter 9 Technical specification for power supply requirements.)
Product will not boot up (re-boot loop)

Possible causes
Possible solutions
Power supply and connection
See possible solutions from Products does not turn on or keeps turning off above.
Software corruption
1.
In the unlikely event that the products software has become corrupted please
try re-flashing the latest software from the Raymarine website.
2.
On display products, as a last resort, you can try to perform a Power on Reset,
however this will delete all settings/presets and user data (such as waypoints
and tracks) and revert the unit back to factory defaults.
