The Ray90 and Ray91 are 12 V dc, Class D Digital
Selective Calling (DSC) VHF radios. DSC enables you
to make and receive calls to a specific radio, and to
transmit and receive position information to and from
a selected radio. DSC also allows transmission of a
distress alert, to all radios within range, at the touch of a
button. Once a DSC request is sent and acknowledged
voice communication is carried out on the channel
chosen by the caller. The radio can transmit and receive
on all available US, Canadian, International and Private
marine VHF channels.
Prior to using this product please check your national
requirements for both operator and equipment licensing.

2.6 Automatic Transmitter
Identification System (ATIS)
Before commencing installation ensure you have
obtained a MMSI number for your vessel.
Your product includes ATIS functionality for use on the
inland waterways of contracting governments of the
A MMSI is a 9 digit number which is sent over a radio
frequency channel in order to identify the originating
vessel/station. If your vessel already has a MMSI number
(used for a VHF DSC radio) then the same MMSI number
must be used to program your product.
Note:
If a MMSI number is not entered, the DSC functionality
of your radio will be disabled.
In the United States of America, the MMSI and Static
Data must be entered only by a Raymarine® dealer
or other appropriately qualified installer of marine
communications equipment on board vessels.
The user is NOT authorized to do this.
In some areas, a radio operator licence is required
before a MMSI number will be issued. You can request
a MMSI number from same agency that issues radio or
Ship Radio licences in your area.
In Europe and other parts of the world outside of the
United States of America, the MMSI and Static data can
be set up by the user.
For further details, refer to the relevant
Telecommunications Regulatory Body for your
area.
Refer to Appendix C MMSI Regulatory bodies and
application submissions
for a list of contacts for obtaining MMSI numbers for
some areas.
Warning: MMSI entry
You can only enter a MMSI number once, if
you enter the number incorrectly or need
to change your MMSI number, the unit will
require re-programming by an authorized
dealer.

3.1 Selecting a location
Warning: Potential ignition
source
This product is NOT approved for use in
hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do
NOT install in a hazardous/flammable
atmosphere (such as in an engine room or
near fuel tanks).
General location requirements
When selecting a location for the unit it is important to
consider a number of factors.
Ventilation requirements
To provide adequate airflow:
• Ensure that equipment is mounted in a compartment
of suitable size.
• Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed.
• Ensure adequate separation of equipment.
Mounting surface requirements
Ensure units are adequately supported on a secure
surface. Do NOT mount units or cut holes in places
which may damage the structure of the vessel.
Water ingress
Ray90/91 Base station
Although the Base station is waterproof to IPx6 and IPx7,
it is recommended that the Base station is mounted
below decks, in an area protected from prolonged and
direct exposure to rain and salt spray.
Raymic Handset
The Handset has been designed to be mounted above
or below decks and is rated to IPx6 and IPx7.
Passive speaker
The speakers has been designed to be mounted above
or below decks and are rated to IPx6 and IPx7.
Cable routing requirements
Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows
proper routing and connection of cables:
• Minimum cable bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) is
required unless otherwise stated.
• Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors.
Electrical interference
Select a location that is far enough away from devices
that may cause interference, such as motors, generators
and radio transmitters/receivers.
Power supply
Select a location that is as close as possible to the
vessel’s DC power supply. This will help to keep cable
runs to a minimum.
RF interference
Certain third-party external electrical equipment can
cause Radio Frequency (RF) interference with GNSS
(GPS), AIS or VHF devices, if the external equipment is
not adequately insulated and emits excessive levels of
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Some common examples of such external equipment
include LED spot or strip lights, and terrestrial TV tuners.
To minimize interference from such equipment:
Antenna mounting and EME exposure
Ensure that your VHF antenna is connected to the radio
before transmission.
Raymarine® declares a Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) radius of 1.3meters (4.2ft.) for this system,
assuming 25 watts output to an omnidirectional antenna
of 3dBi gain or less.
For watercraft with suitable structures, the antenna base
must be at least 3.8 meters (12.5 ft) above the main deck
to meet the MPE for persons up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall.
For watercraft without such structures, the antenna must
be mounted so that its base is a minimum of 1.3meters
(4.2ft.) vertically from heads of all persons.
The antenna must be isolated from the vessel’s
metalwork using an insulated (e.g. plastic) mounting
bracket.
• Keep it as far away from GNSS (GPS), AIS or VHF
devices as possible.
• Ensure that any power cables for external equipment
are not entangled with the power or data cables for
these devices.
• Consider fitting one or more high frequency
suppression ferrites to the EMI-emitting device. The
ferrite(s) should be rated to be effective in the range
100 MHz to 2.5 GHz, and should be fitted to the power
cable and any other cables exiting the EMI-emitting
device, as close as possible to the position where the
cable exits the device.
Compass safe distance
When choosing a suitable location for your product you
should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance
between the product and any installed compass. This
distance should be at least 1 m (3 ft) in all directions. For
smaller vessels it may not be possible to achieve this
distance. In this situation ensure that the compass is not
affected by the product when it is powered on.

3.2 EMC installation guidelines
Suppression ferrites
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.
• 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.
Note:
In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slight
interference may be noticed. 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 2 m (7 ft).
– 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 power 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.
3.3 Product dimensions
Product dimensions - Base station
The Base station dimensions are listed below.
• 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.
Connections to other equipment
Requirement for ferrites on non- cables.
If your is to be connected to other equipment using
a cable not supplied by , a suppression ferrite MUST
always be attached to the end of the cable near the .
The Base station includes a fitted power and data cable,
The power cable length is 1.2 m (3.94 ft) sand the Data
cable length is 420 mm (1.38 ft).
Product dimensions - speakers
The dimensions for the Passive speaker are shown
below.
• Only Raymarine® specified cables are used.
• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is
detailed in the installation instructions.
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.

4.1 General cabling guidance
Cable types and length
It is important to use cables of the appropriate type 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
voltage drop along the run.
Routing cables
Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize
performance and prolong cable life.
• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible,
ensure a minimum bend diameter of 200 mm (8 in) /
minimum bend radius of 100 mm (4 in).
• high current carrying AC and DC power lines,
• antennae.
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
Appropriate circuit isolation is required 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 an isolated power supply when using a
3rd party audio amplifier.
• Always use an RS232/NMEA converter with optical
isolation on the signal lines.
• Always make sure that PC’s or other sensitive
electronic devices have a dedicated power circuit.
• Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure
to heat. Use trunking or conduit where possible. Do
NOT run 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 deckhead, use a suitable watertight feed-through.
• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent
lights.
Always route data cables as far away as possible from:
• other equipment and cables,

12/21/2017 9:05:37 PM
Important:
• 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.
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 vessel’s 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.
Implementation — direct connection to battery
Battery connection scenario A: suitable for a
vessel with a common RF ground point. In
this scenario, if your product’s power cable is
supplied with a separate drain wire then it should
be connected to the vessel’s common ground
point.
Battery connection scenario B: suitable for
a vessel without a common grounding point.
In this case, if your product’s power cable is
supplied with a separate drain wire then it should
be connected directly to the battery’s negative
terminal.
• The power cable supplied with your product may
be connected directly to the vessel's battery, via a
suitably rated fuse or breaker.
• The power cable supplied with your product may NOT
include a separate drain wire. If this is the case, only
the power cable’s red and black wires need to be
connected.
• If the supplied power cable is NOT fitted with an inline
fuse, you MUST fit a suitably rated fuse or breaker
between the red wire and the battery’s positive
terminal.
Implementation — connection to distribution panel
• Refer to the inline fuse ratings provided in the
product’s documentation.
Positive (+) bar
Negative (-) bar
Circuit breaker
Fuse
• In all cases, observe the recommended breaker / fuse
ratings provided in the product’s documentation.
Important:
• 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 product’s documentation.
Be aware that the suitable fuse rating for the thermal
breaker or fuse is dependent on the number of
devices you are connecting.
• 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.
Power cable extension
• The distribution point should be fed from the vessel’s
primary power source by 8 AWG (8.36 mm2) cable.
• The power cable for each unit in your system should
be run as a separate, single length of 2-wire cable
If you need to extend the length of the power cable
supplied with your product, ensure you observe the
following advice:
28
81377-1-en_US_PRINT.pdf 28
12/21/2017 9:05:37 PM
from the unit to the vessel's battery or distribution
panel.
• For power cable extensions, it is recommended that a
minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.31 mm2). For cable
runs longer than 15 meters, you may need to consider
a thicker wire gauge (e.g. 14 AWG (2.08 mm2), or 12
AWG (3.31 mm2) ).
4.4 Handset station connection
A Raymic handset can be connected to each Handset
station connection (HS 1 / HS 2). Your radio is supplied
with the equipment to create a full handset station (i.e.:
Raymic handset, Adaptor cable and Passive speaker).
Additional accessories can be purchased to create a
second handset station.
Handset extension cables
Handset station cabling can be extended using
approved extension cables.
The maximum length of cable from the Handset to the
Base station should not exceed 50 m (164 ft)
• An important requirement for all lengths of power
cable (including any extension) is to ensure that there
is a continuous minimum voltage of 10.8 V at the
product’s power connector, with a fully flat battery at
11 V.
Important: Be aware that some products in your
system (such as sonar modules) can create voltage
peaks at certain times, which may impact the voltage
available to other products during the peaks.

6.1 Digital Selective Calling
(DSC)
Traditional VHF radio systems require users to listen
until someone speaks, and then determine whether the
call is for them. DSC ensures that calls are received by
alerting or announcing the intended recipient(s) first so
they are ready to listen to the subsequent message on
the relevant channel.
DSC is part of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety
System (GMDSS), a maritime communications system
for emergency and distress messages and all types
of routine communications such as ship-to-ship or
ship-to-shore.
DSC is a digital signalling system, which operates on
VHF channel 70. DSC calls include other data such as
your vessel’s identification number, purpose of the call,
your position and the channel you want to speak on.
DSC calls can be divided into 4 categories and are
prioritized as shown below:
1.
Distress
2. Urgency
3.
Safety
4.
Routine
Distress
A Distress call should only be used when there is
imminent danger to a vehicle or person that requires
immediate assistance.
When making a distress call the following information is
transmitted to all stations within range:
• Vessel MMSI number.
• Vessel position (must be input manually if no GPS
position data is available).
• Local time (must be input manually if no GPS position
data is available).
• Nature of the distress (when designated).
• Transmission frequency.
The call is automatically repeated at approximately 4
minute intervals until it is acknowledged either by a
coast radio station (CRS) or a vessel within radio range.
Distress calls must be followed by a MAYDAY call on
priority channel 16.
Urgency
An urgency call should be used when there is danger
to a vehicle or person that does not require immediate
assistance.
When making an urgency call the following information
is transmitted to all stations within range:
• Vessel MMSI number.
• Vessel position (must be input manually if no GPS
position data is available).
Routine calls are made on channel 70 using the
dedicated Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI)
number of the station to be contacted, selecting a
VHF working channel and sending the call. Both
radios automatically switch to the chosen channel for
conversation.
Routine calls can also be made to groups — When
groups of ships need the same information (yacht races,
club rallies etc.) a special group-call identity can be used
to enable restricted broadcast calls.
Note: To transmit precise positions, the radio must
be interfaced to a GPS receiver. Otherwise, regular
manual position updating is required.
• Local time (must be input manually if no GPS position
data is available).
• Transmission frequency.
Once an urgency call is sent it must be followed with
a PAN PAN voice message on channel 16 and include
the necessary details.
Safety
A safety call should be used when there is an
important navigational warning or meteorological
forecast/broadcast. Safety alerts can also used for
communications during search and rescue operations.
When making a safety call the following information is
transmitted to all stations within range:
• Vessel MMSI number.
• Vessel position (must be input manually if no GPS
position data is available).
• Local time (must be input manually if no GPS position
data is available).
• Transmission frequency.
Once a safety call is sent it must be followed with a
SECURITE voice message on channel 16 and include
the necessary details.
Routine calls
Routine calls are used for contacting other vessels,
marinas, or shore stations.
