Warnings and cautions
EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. This minimizes
electromagnetic interference between equipment, which could oth-
erwise affect the performance of your system.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is
not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that:
• Raymarine equipment and the cables connected to it are:
Product installation
This equipment must be installed and operated in
accordance with the Raymarine instructions
provided. Failure to do so could result in poor
product performance, personal injury, and/or
damage to your boat.
Potential ignition sources
The equipment in these instructions is NOT
approved for use in hazardous/flammable atmo-
spheres such as an engine room.
Switch off power supply
Make sure you have set the boat’s power supply
to OFF before you start installing this product.
Unless otherwise stated connect and disconnect
equipment only with the power supply switched
OFF.
High voltage
Equipment contains high voltages.
Unless otherwise instructed within these
instructions do not remove the covers or attempt
to access the internal components.
Grounding requirements
This display is not intended for use on “positive”
ground boats. The power input cable earth
screen connections must be connected directly
to the boats ground.
Radar
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic
energy. Ensure all personnel are clear of the
scanner before switching to Tx (transmit mode)
Navigation aid
Raymarine equipment is intended for use only as
an aid to navigation. You must still ensure that a
properly qualified person is acting as navigator
at all times and that all applicable maritime regu-
lations are adhered to. You must also ensure that
all proper judgements and actions are taken to
ensure a safe passage. Always maintain a perma-
nent watch
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.
Sun covers
To provide protection against the damaging
effects of ultra violet (UV) light, use the sun
covers when equipment is not in use.
Cleaning
DO NOT use acid, ammonia based or abrasive
products.
DO NOT use commercial high pressure washing
(jet wash) equipment.
G-Series Installation & Commissioning 8
i. 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).
ii. 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 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.
Remember
Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above
recommendations:
• Always allow the maximum separation possible between differ-
ent items of electrical equipment. This will provide the best
conditions for EMC performance for the installation.
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These
are important for correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed to
facilitate installation must be replaced in the original position imme-
diately installation is complete.
• Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine au-
thorized dealers.
Connections to other equipment
If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment
using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppres-
sion ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the
Raymarine unit.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment Directive
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Directive requires the recycling of waste electrical and
electronic equipment. Whilst the WEEE Directive does not
apply to some of Raymarine’s products, we support its pol-
icy and ask you to be aware of how to dispose of this
product.
The crossed out wheeled bin symbol, illustrated above, and found
on our products signifies that this product should not be disposed of
in general waste or landfill.
Please contact your local dealer, national distributor or Raymarine
Technical Services for information on product disposal.
Water ingress
As it exceeds the water proof rating capacity outlined by standards
CFR46 / IPX7, subjecting any Raymarine equipment to commercial
high pressure washing equipment may cause subsequent water
intrusion and failure of the equipment. Raymarine will not warranty
equipment subjected to high pressure washing
Warranty
To register your new Raymarine product, please take a few minutes
to fill out the warranty card included in the box or go to:
www.raymarine.com
It is important that you complete the owner information and return
the card to receive full warranty benefits, including notification of
software updates if they are required.

4.1 General instructions
Cable types and length
• Follow the guidelines given in this section to determine appro-
priate cable types and length.
• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cables of the correct
type, supplied by Raymarine.
• Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of the correct quality
and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may require
larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in a cable.
Routing cables
• No acute bends. Minimum bend radius of 100mm.
• Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat.
Use trunking or conduit where possible. Avoid running cables
through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any
extra cable and tie it out of the way.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck-
head, a watertight feed-through should be used.
You should always route data cables:
• as far apart from other equipment and cables as possible,
• as far away from high current carrying AC and DC power lines
as possible,
• as far away from antennas as possible.
Strain relief
• Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors
from strain and ensure they will not pull out under extreme sea
conditions.
Circuit isolation
For installations using both AC and DC current:
• Always use isolating transformers or a separate power-inverter
to run PC’s, processors, displays and other sensitive electronic
instruments or devices.
• Always use an isolating transformer with Weather FAX audio
cables.
• Always use and RS232/NMEA converter with optical isolation
on the signal lines.
• Always make sure that PC’s or other sensitive electronic devic-
es have a dedicated power circuit.
Cable shielding
Ensure that all data cables are properly shielded that the cable
shielding is intact (e.g. hasn’t been scraped off by being squeezed

G-Series Installation & Commissioning 34
Power distribution notes:
• Raymarine recommend that you have a dedicated distribution
panel for your G-Series system.
• All GPM400 processor units must be powered from a single
breaker or switch, with appropriate circuit protection.
• All monitors and ancillary equipment should where possible be
wired to individual breakers.
Sharing a breaker
Where more than 1 piece of equipment shares a breaker you must
provide protection for the individual circuits. E.g. an in-line fuse for
each power circuit
The fuse must be of an appropriate type and rating for the load to
be protected.
Circuit grounding
Grounding notes
• Use a dedicated earthing plate (e.g. dynaplate) in contact with
the water.
• Ground cables may be routed to a common point (e.g. within
the switch panel. With a single (appropriately rated) copper
braid connecting to the earthing plate.
• Use flat tinned copper braid, 30 A rating (1/4 inch) or greater.
Equivalent stranded wire diameter 4mm or greater.
• Keep the length of the earth braid as short as possible.
• Installations using both AC and DC current should have a sepa-
rate ground circuit for each. See Circuit isolation on page 32.

Grounding
The power cable screen and all Ground terminals
MUST be connected to ship’s ground
.
Failure to
connect to ship’s ground may cause it, or other
on-board electronics to function incorrectly
.
No positive ground
The G-Series system is NOT intended for use on
“positive” ground boats. The power input cable
earth screen connections must be connected
directly to the boats ground.
No ground loops
Ground loops may cause galvanic corrosion.
Avoid using the ships structure (metal) as an
earth point, as this could result in ground loops.
35 Chapter 4: Cables and connections

Screen resolution and aspect ratio
Each GPM will output the same screen resolution to all connected
displays.
Therefore where multiple displays are connected to a single GPM
they should have the same aspect ratio and screen resolution. For
example we recommend that wide screen televisions and standard
displays are connected to separate GPMs.
IP Address
When connecting a display to the processor, note its IP address on
your system diagram. You will need to refer to this during the com-
missioning process. (See Appendix B for sample diagrams.)
Selector Switch
Raymarine G-Series displays have a selector switch located by the
SeaTalkhs connector. This must be in the UP position for connec-
tion to the SeaTalkhs network.
3rd party displays
Ensure that any 3rd party (non-Raymarine) displays have electrical
isolation between the video connections and power supply (and
any other 0 V referenced connection). This is to avoid 0 V loops
which can cause interference issues.

The alarm output is used to alert the operator to alarms and other
audible warnings.
Note: Alarms are global and as such will be sounded across all
audio and alarm outputs across the system.
SeaTalk connection
The SeaTalk connection allows the G-Series system to receive
data from Raymarine SeaTalk compatible devices such as:
• Autopilot
The G-Series can receive and display autopilot information and
act as a repeat controller. Refer to the separate reference guide
for operation details.
•Instruments
The G-Series can receive and display data received from instru-
ments, such as wind, speed and depth.
•GPS
Required for chart applications.
Master GPM
The SeaTalk bus must be connected to the Master GPM (see
page 37).
Note: SeaTalk connection to other GPMs for the purposes of
redundancy is allowed.
12 V power supply
The SeaTalk connection provides a 12 V supply rated at 125 mA.
This is suitable to supply 1 sounder module.
Note: SeaTalk instruments will usually be powered from a sepa-
rate power supply, e.g from a Raymarine autopilot course
computer. You should not power a SeaTalk bus from more
than one supply.

This is required for Radar target acquisition (MARPA). See
page 52 and your separate autopilot instructions.
•AIS information (for radar target identification).
See page 53 and your separate AIS receiver instructions.
•Other NMEA data (such as 3rd party GPS or autopilot sys-
tems).
For other NMEA device connections refer to the separate man-
ufacturers instructions.
Multiple NMEA devices
You may connect NMEA devices to any GPM400 including the
master GPM. You should only connect 1 device of any particular
type to the G-Series system (including any connected databus or
networked electronics).
For example: Your system should have GPS connected to one
place only. Duplicated GPS data will produce erratic behavior
within the system.

G-Series Installation & Commissioning 58
5.1 General instructions
Equipment location
When deciding on the location of system components, consider the
following:
• Ignition hazards
• Ventilation
• Mounting surface
• Cable entry
• EMC installation guidelines
Ignition hazards
Ventilation
To ensure adequate airflow:
• Ensure that equipment is mounted in a compartment of suitable
size.
• Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
• Allow adequate separation of equipment.
Any specific requirements for each system component are provided
later in this chapter.
Mounting surface
Ensure equipment is adequately supported on a secure surface.
Do not mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the
structure of the vessel.
Any specific requirements for each system component are provided
later in this chapter.
Cable entry
Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows proper routing
and connection of cables:
• Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in).
• Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors.
EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations. This minimizes
electromagnetic interference between equipment, which could oth-
erwise affect the performance of your system.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is
not compromised.
For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that:
• Raymarine equipment and the cables connected to it are:
i. 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).
ii. 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 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.
Potential ignition sources
The equipment in these instructions is NOT
approved for use in hazardous/flammable atmo-
spheres such as an engine room.
59 Chapter 5: Installation and mounting
Remember
Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above
recommendations:
• Always allow the maximum separation possible between differ-
ent items of electrical equipment.
• This will provide the best conditions for EMC performance for
the installation.
Suppression ferrites
Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These
are important for correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed to
facilitate installation must be replaced in the original position imme-
diately after the installation is complete.
• Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine au-
thorized dealers.
Connections to other equipment
If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment
using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppres-
sion ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the
Raymarine unit.

Mounting and environment
The following conditions apply:
• Do NOT install near sources of heat or vibration (e.g. engine).
• The unit is NOT designed for use in a sealed enclosure. Access
to the unit is required, e.g. for chart updates.
• Must be mounted on a vertical surface. Sides and top must be
level.
• Mounting surface must be firm, secure and capable of support-
ing the weight of the unit.
• Install below decks in a dry area.
• Install the unit well away from potential sources of ignition.
Mounting clearances
Allow the following clearances from other equipment and surfaces.
Cables
• Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in)
• All cables must be secured within 150 mm (5.91 in) of the unit.
This will prevent undue strain on the connectors.
