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. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. 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 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 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. • The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. • 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. Chapter 1: Preparation for installation • 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 illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. D6626-1 Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit. Locating the display Your E-Series display can either be flush-mounted or mounted using the trunnion bracket supplied. Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering: • Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) vary slightly with viewing angle and are best viewed perpendicular to the display. The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel controls. Avoid installing where excessive reflection will occur in normal use. • Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connections to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cables. • Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers (see EMC Guidelines). • Magnetic compass: Mount the display at least 3ft (1m) away from a magnetic compass. • Cable runs: The display should be mounted as near as possible to a Direct Current (DC) power source. All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. • Environmental: The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt spray. The rear of the display should be in a well ventilated space to ensure air circulation to the rear of the unit. 10 E-Series Installation Manual EMC Conformance Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc. Chapter 2: System Integration 11 Chapter 2: System Integration Introduction This chapter provides an overview of system integration, you may find that your system does not use all the protocols or contain all the instrumentation that is described in it. However it is hoped that the information supplied will help in your understanding of how systems can be integrated and used successfully. 2.1 What is System Integration? System integration enables various instruments and displays to communicate with each other and use the collected data to increase the functionality of the system. This data exchange is only possible if the data gathering is accurate, and transfer between instruments is fast and accurate. Fast and accurate data transfer is achieved by using a combination of the following data protocols: • SeaTalk. • SeaTalk2. • National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)0183. • NMEA 2000. • SeaTalkhs (High Speed). When two or more E-Series Displays are networked, all shared data can be viewed on any display. What is SeaTalk? SeaTalk The SeaTalk protocol enables compatible instruments to be connected to a simple network by way of a single cable carrying power (12 volts, 150 mA) and data in/out, without a central processor. Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by plugging them into the network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate with other non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is used. SeaTalk2 SeaTalk2 is an enhanced replacement for SeaTalk and is a proprietary extension to NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. It enables other Raymarine 12 E-Series Installation Manual SeaTalk2 devices to talk to each other, whilst maintaining near transparent NMEA 2000 compatibility. SeaTalkhs (High Speed) SeaTalk High Speed is designed to provide a ‘plug and play’, ethernet based marine network. It supports up to 8 nodes e.g. 7 displays and a DSM300/400, which can be connected to a compatible device, display, DSM etc. to give you access to all radar, fishfinder, chart cartridge and instrument data, waypoints, routes, tracks and navigation information held on the system. What is NMEA? NMEA 0183 The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard to enable equipment from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information. The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the important difference in that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display. This information is passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three-letter sentence identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that the same sentence identifiers are used: • VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data. • GLL - carries latitude and longitude. • DBT - carries water depth. • MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data. NMEA 2000 NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable. The standard was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via standardized message types and formats. Chapter 2: System Integration 13 2.2 Compatibility Analogue Radar Scanners CAUTION: Radar Analogue Scanners, Cables & Installation Information on analogue radar scanners, cables and their installation contained in this handbook supersedes that contained in the Pathfinder Radar Scanner Handbook, Document No. 81154_8, dated 12th January 2005. To achieve full analogue radar compatibility with your E-Series Display, your Raymarine analogue radar may require upgrading. Please check the list below to see if this upgrade is required. The scanner serial number can be found on a label attached to the scanner casing: Analogue Scanner type/model Serial Number Compatibility 2Kw Radome - Pathfinder 1220000 and below 1220001 - 0530157 0530158 and above Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible 2Kw Radome - RD218 All Fully compatible 4Kw Radome - Pathfinder 1220000 and below 1222001 - 0530246 0530247 and above Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible 4Kw Radome - RD424 All Fully compatible 4Kw Open Array 1030000 and below 1030001 - 1230143 1230144 and above Not compatible Upgrade required Fully compatible 0430000 and below 0430001 and above Not compatible Fully compatible 10Kw Open Array Note: All displays with software version 4.0 or above are compatible with digital Radar. The analogue open array system will also require a split pedestal cable. If your analogue radar scanner requires upgrading, please contact your local Raymarine dealer for full information. Digital Sounder Module Important: In order for your Digital Sounder Module (DSM) to be compatible with your E-Series display, you will need either a DSM300 (Part no. E63049), or DSM400 (Part no E63072). 14 E-Series Installation Manual Engines For up-to-date information relating to compatible engines together with installation information, please refer to our website. Media storage cards Navionics Chart cards To use your E-Series Display as a navigation aid, charts with detailed information for the area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available on Navionics® Chart cards. A chart card provides an appropriate level of detail and scale for a given geographic area. Up to 6 Gold or 2 Platinum chart cards can be used in an E-Series Networked system. The maximum capacity Navionics card is 16Gb. To obtain suitable Navionics Chart Cards, contact your local dealer or visit the Navionics web sites: www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it.

Outside of North America, contact your local dealer or call Navionics SpA on tel: (+39) 0584 961696 or fax: (+39) 0584 961309. CompactFlash cards It is possible to archive or transfer information to and from your E-Series display and other compatible instruments using CompactFlash cards. To achieve the best results it is recommended that SAN DISK® CF memory cards are used. Chapter 2: System Integration 15 2.3 Functionality For full functionality some applications require a dedicated transducer to provide specific data. The table on page 16 summarizes the data required by each application and the major functions of your E-Series Display. In particular, position, heading and speed data are required for the following functions: • Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course Up and Head Up modes. • Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same source as position data (GPS). • Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart overlay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible Raymarine autopilot. 16 E-Series Installation Manual Data or equipment required for applications/functions Data/equipment GPS ✔ Datum ✔ Compass, autopilot or smart heading sensor ✔ Radar scanner ✔ DSM 300/400 Instruments ✔ MARPA ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ Weather receiver ✔ Navtex receiver AIS receiver AIS ✔ Video camera/input Compatible engine data Navtex ✔ Weather ✔ Video ✔ Engine monitor Instrumentation ✔ CDI Chart card Fishfinder Chart Radar Application/function ✔ ✔ Notes: (1) For full details of scanner compatibility see page 13. If you are still unsure as to your scanner’s suitability, please refer to an authorized Raymarine dealer. (2) Engine output from a compatible engine manufacturer is also required. See Raymarine.com for latest compatibility information. (3) Whilst an AIS receiver is not required for the radar and chart applications to function, this receiver is necessary if AIS functionality is required within radar and chart. Chapter 2: System Integration 17 2.4 Integrating an E-Series display As there are many possible combinations integrating digital E-Series, four typical systems are described here to demonstrate various combinations: • Single E-Series display with a single digital input connected via a crossover coupler, and various analogue inputs connected to the corresponding inputs at the rear of the digital E-Series unit. • Two E-Series displays connected via a crossover coupler with various analogue inputs • A single E-Series display and a single digital input such as a DSM300, DSM400 or digital radar connected via a crossover coupler, with various other analogue inputs. • A networked digital E-series system with either one, two or more E-Series displays, a DSM300 or DSM400 and a digital radar; all routed through a SeaTalk High Speed switch to form a network, along with various analogue; and/or digital inputs. The diagrams that follow show these systems. Adapt these as appropriate to create the required system. 18 E-Series Installation Manual Single display system This simple system incorporates a single display with a DSM 300/400 and analogue or digital radar.

This will enable you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another. When you are installing a network of E-Series Displays you should note the following: • One display will act as the master for SeaTalk, NMEA 0183 and system data including waypoints, routes and tracks. All SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 connections should be made to this master. • If you connect the instrumentations master display (i.e. speed master) to all other displays in the system via SeaTalk or SeaTalk2, you will negate the need to unplug and reconnect cabling if the master becomes unavailable. • The bridging of data from SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 only occurs at the master. You cannot therefore have additional networks connected to additional E-Series Displays. You can however connect multiple NMEA inputs. • As it is not possible to view a video image across the network, you should connect the Video In cable to the display on which you wish to view the image. The following two pages detail a simple E-Series Networked System with two ESeries displays and Digital inputs (DSM & Radar) and a more advanced, multiple node system incorporating two (or more) displays and a DSM 300/400. 20 E-Series Installation Manual A typical two node system incorporating two displays Digital radar Open array scanner or DSM 300 (as shown) or DSM400 Radome scanner SeaTalkhs switch or SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs E-series display (master display) Video In Video In E-series display To: Video player Onboard camera DVD player Power Power To: Video player Onboard camera DVD player NMEA 0183 Power Cables Red 12V or 24V DC Black 0V Ground/Earth RF Ground SeaTalk/Alarm out Third party equipment NMEA multiplexer Fast heading sensor RS232 interface Autopilot AIS receiver Navtex receiver To: SeaTalk system Remote audible alarm RF ground/earth PC via interface box To: SeaTalk2 system Key Supplied Not supplied/ accessory D7346-2 To: NMEA and multiplexer AIS or Navtex or To: SeaTalk system Remote alarm RF ground/earth PC via interface box Additional E-Series displays SeaTalk/alarm out E-series display (master display) Radome scanner To: 3rd party equipment Power To: Fast heading sensor NMEA GPS DSC radio Raymarine equipment Radar or NMEA 0183 Open array scanner Video in SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs To: Video player Onboard camera DVD player VGA out SeaTalkhs switch To: AIS receiver Navtex receiver NMEA 0183 To: Video player Onboard camera DVD player Additional E-series display Video in To: SeaTalk system Additional E-Series displays SeaTalk2 Power SeaTalkhs SeaTalkhs Digital radar Power Not supplied/ accessory Supplied VGA out To: VGA/SVGA monitor Plasma screen M1500 monitor Power Power Cables Red 12V or 24V DC Black 0V Ground/Earth RF Ground Key DSM300 (as shown) or DSM400 Weather receiver Chapter 2: System Integration 21 An example of a three (or more) node system D8992-2 22 E-Series Installation Manual Connecting your E-Series display to a SeaTalk2 Keyboard E Series display SeaTalk2 Keyboard SeaTalk2 Power/RF ground cable SeaTalk2 cable Power Note: For multiple keyboard installations, please refer to your local dealer or to www.raymarine.com Terminator SeaTalk cable Terminator grey red black 5A circuit breaker or 12v supply Switch with 5A fuse Junction box SeaTalk2 cable To: Existing SeaTalk system (for example: GPS and Autopilot) Existing SeaTalk 2 system SeaTalk cable SeaTalk cable Existing SeaTalk system To: Existing SeaTalk2 system (incorporating terminators, power/RF ground) ST290 DPU Key Not supplied/accessory/ existing system D9013-1 Supplied in the box Notes: (1) This configuration is suitable for existing SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 systems with ST290 DPU with cables lengths between the Display a and keyboard of less than 4.5 m (2) Do not connect the ST290 to the E-Series SeaTalk2 connection.

CAUTION: Radar Scanners, Cables & Installation Information on radar scanners, cables and their installation contained in this handbook supersedes that contained in the Pathfinder Radar Scanner Handbook, Document No. 81154_8, dated 12th January 2005. Introduction This chapter provides instructions for installing your E-Series Display. You may find that your system does not use all the protocols or contain all of the instrumentation that is described. 3.1 Mounting the display CAUTION: Installation Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the selected location before proceeding. Make sure there is sufficient rear access for mounting AND cabling. The display unit is waterproof to CFR 46 and can be installed either above or below deck using either the trunnion bracket or by flush mounting it in a suitable position. Trunnion mount The display unit can be fitted on a dash, chart table, bulkhead or deckhead, using the trunnion bracket: You should fit the trunnion bracket as follows: 1. Mark the location of the trunnion bracket screw holes on the chosen mounting surface. 2. Drill pilot holes for the screws using a suitable drill, taking care that there are no cables or anything that may be damaged behind the surface. 3. Use the 5 bolts supplied (together with the washers and nuts) to securely attach the bracket. 4. Before attaching the display unit to the bracket: 24 E-Series Installation Manual i. Locate the front cover clip-on over the front of the display - see page 26. ii. Check that the buttons have passed through the cover and are free to operate.

Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct bearing reading is obtained. You can carry out a bearing alignment in two ways: Bearing alignment with your boat moored To use this method you will need a hand bearing compass: 1. Visually identify a suitable target, such as a buoy that can be seen towards the edge of the radar screen. Typically, this will be on the 1.5nm range. 2. Determine the accurate bearing of the target relative to your boat’s bow using the hand bearing compass. To do this subtract your boat head bearing from the target visual bearing, these examples may help: Example 1 Example 2 Visual bearing (a) = 065° M Visual bearing (a) = 030° M Ships head bearing (b) = 021° M Ships head bearing (b) = 042° M Relative bearing: = (a) - (b) Relative bearing: = (a) - (b) = 065 - 021 = 044° R = 030 - 042 = -012 If answer is negative, add 360° = -012 + 360 = 348° R 3. From the primary radar soft keys, press VRM/EBL. 4. Toggle the VRM/EBL soft key to ON. Adjust the EBL to your chosen target. If there is a difference between your calculated bearing and that shown for the EBL, there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment (see below). Bearing alignment with your boat under way 1. Align your boat’s bow with the selected target. 2. Note the position of the target relative to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM) on the radar picture. If the target is not under the SHM, there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. For details see below. Adjusting the bearing alignment 1. If moored, move the EBL to calculate bearing. 2. With a radar application in the active window, press MENU. The Set Up menu is displayed. Chapter 4: Commissioning the system 45 3. With RADAR SET UP highlighted, use the trackpad (right) to select the RADAR SET UP menu. 4. Use the trackpad (up/down) to highlight and then the trackpad (right) to select BEARING ALIGNMENT.

The sky view graphic shows the position of these satellites. 46 E-Series Installation Manual Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position. Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0. D7453_1 When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX. If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 53. The option to select differential or satellite differential fix is dependent upon the capabilities of the attached GPS. If your boat is equipped with a Raymarine GPS, the Differential GPS can be switched on or off using the appropriate soft key. Heading data checks If your display is connected to a compass, autopilot or fast heading sensor, your boat’s heading will be displayed in the data bar. If heading data is not available your display can use COG data.

AIS receiver AIS 38400 Instrument data tests To ensure that your system is receiving instrument data, you should check the following: From SeaTalk or SeaTalk2 Open the instrument application and ensure all relevant data is displayed. If you are not receiving data, check cable connections. Chapter 4: Commissioning the system 49 From third party devices on NMEA 0183 Check that appropriate NMEA sentences are being sent from the third party device and on the E-Series Display. Open the instrument application and ensure all relevant data is displayed. Running AIS In order to run AIS, you will need: • A receive only AIS unit or a full transponder. A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will not allow other vessels to ‘see’ you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS data and therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other AIS equipped vessels to see and receive information about your vessel. This could include position, course, speed and rate of turn data. • A VHF antenna (part of an AIS system). • A GPS. • A Compass - although not essential, this will enhance performance. When the AIS unit is connected to the E-Series display, the status of the unit is indicated by an AIS icon in the transducer data box. You will now need to specify the 38,400 baud rate for the NMEA port that communicates with the AIS transceivers and receivers (see the table on page 48). AIS unit not available i.e. not connected or off. AIS unit switched on and operating. AIS unit switched on and operating but dangerous & lost target alarm disabled. D9014_1 AIS unit on with active alarm. Weather application tests To test your Weather application create and open a weather window (see the Weather Chapter of the Reference Manual). If your E-Series is receiving information from the weather receiver the following will be displayed: • The signal strength status (High, Medium or Low) in the status bar.
