Suppression Ferrites; Connections To Other Equipment; Declaration Of Conformity; Product Disposal - Raymarine i60 Installation & Operation Instructions

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 1m (3ft) 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 2m (7ft) 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.
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.

Connections to other equipment

Requirement for ferrites on non-Raymarine cables
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 the Raymarine unit.
Caution: Sun covers
• If your product is supplied with a sun
cover, to protect against the damaging
effects of ultraviolet (UV) light, always
fit the sun cover when the product is
not in use.
• Sun covers must be removed when
travelling at high speed, whether in
water or when the vessel is being
towed.
Caution: Product cleaning
When cleaning products:
• If your product includes a display
screen, do NOT wipe the screen with
a dry cloth, as this could scratch the
screen coating.
• Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or
ammonia based products.
• Do NOT use a jet wash.
Caution: Condensation
Certain atmospheric conditions may
cause a small amount of condensation
to form on the unit's window. This will
not damage the unit and will clear after
the unit has been switched on for a short
period.
