EMC installation guidelines Installation Installation 81256_3.book Page 5 Monday, March 6, 2006 2:37 PM 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. Connections to other equipment The illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. 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. D8852_1 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/ Suppression ferrite • Inter-unit cable Radome Scanner 233 mm Forward Center Line of Radome Installation template Artwork Number 3032-866-A • • • • • 18” 2 kW Radome scanner and 15 m light cable, or 24” 4 kW Radome scanner and 15 m heavy cable.

Don’t put the scanner so high, that it is affected by the pitching and rolling of the boat. • • • • • Mount the scanner as high as possible above the waterline for better long range performance, but make sure it: Planning the installation 81256_3.book Page 8 Monday, March 6, 2006 2:37 PM D8856_1 Planing hull and some displacement hull boats adopt a higher bow angle when the boat is at Forward cruising speed., giving poor target detection. D8857_1 It may be necessary to lower the radar beam back towards the parallel, by shimming the rear of the radar, so that the beam points slightly down when the boat is at rest. Wedge or washers The radar beam is approximately 25o wide in the vertical direction, giving good target detection when your boat pitches and rolls. Mount the scanner so that the array rotates parallel to the waterline. 12.5˚ 12.5˚ Radome Scanners - Users Guide To minimize electrical interference try to avoid running radar cables near other on board electrical equipment. It is also good practice to avoid running radar cables in parallel with power cables. DO NOT pull the cable through bulkheads using a cord attached to the connector. This could damage the connections. The cable entrance is at the rear of the scanner unit. If the unit is mounted on a hollow mast, the cable may be run inside the mast and fed though the unit’s cable entrance. Make sure that the cable does not chafe where it enters and exits the mast. Running the cable to the scanner A radome scanner connected to a C or E-Series display receives power via the display unit. Scanner cables • • • • You need to connect the scanner to the display unit and power. The cable required will depend on the display unit and scanner type. All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat - avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. Acute bends must be avoided. Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used. Avoid cutting and rejoining cables. If this cannot be avoided refer to Extending the power cable on page -11. To Radome Scanner Boats with 24 V DC power systems can use any combination of inter-unit cables. For boats with 12 V DC power systems details of recommended cable(s) for different run lengths can be found in Extending the power cable on page -11. • Part No. M92668 - 15 m heavy extension cable. • Part No. M92669 - 25 m heavy replacement cable. The maximum inter-unit cable length is limited by the minimum supply voltage, the scanner type (18” or 24 “radome), and the cable type (2 or 4 power cores). Optional cable lengths available are: The length of the cable supplied should be sufficient to complete the cable run on most small boats. For longer runs, additional or replacement cables are available. These cables have four power cores to minimize voltage drops over the longer cable run. To display or extension (power supplied via display unit) The inter-unit cable, illustrated below, is fitted with an 8-way plug and power cores (covered with a clear protective sleeve) for connecting to the scanner. You need to consider the following points before installing the system cables: • Inter-unit cables Cable requirements Installation 81256_3.book Page 9 Monday, March 6, 2006 2:37 PM D8858_1 • • Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground, or, Floating with neither battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground. This radar is not recommended for use on ‘positive’ ground boats. The power cable earth screen must be connected to the boat’s ground. The boat’s power system should be either: Power requirements For full details on extending the power cable and maximum permissible lengths refer to Extending the power cable on page -11. If your boat has a 12 V power system, longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable. 12 V power systems If your boat has a 24 V power system, the power cable may be extended by up to 20 m using a wire gauge of 1.5 mm2 (AWG 16) or greater, irrespective of the inter-unit cable length. 24 V power systems Extending the power cable A 1.5 m (5ft) power cable is supplied with the display unit for connecting the boat’s DC power to the radar scanner via the display unit.Refer to the relevant display unit handbook for details on connecting this cable. Radome radar systems are intended for use on boat’s DC power systems operating in the range 10.7 to 32 V DC. That is 12 V and 24 V systems, they should not be used on 32 V systems. Power cables 10 81256_3.book Page 10 Monday, March 6, 2006 2:37 PM If your boat does not have an RF system, connect the drain wire to the negative battery terminal. If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm braid or 6 mm2 (AWG 10) multi-strand cable. You must ground the radar by connecting the drain wire (screen) of the power cable to the nearest ground point of your boat’s RF ground system. Full details can be found in the Owner’s Handbook for your display unit. It is important that an effective radio frequency (RF) ground is connected to the radar system. Grounding the radar system Radome scanners receive power from the display via the inter-unit cable. The display power cable is supplied with the display unit and details for connecting power are detailed in the relevant Owner’s handbook.
