    5. Ensure that the protective boot covers the connector. Note: If the supplied cable is too short, use an extension cable (Part# E36011), or consult your Raymarine dealer. It is recommended that only a single extension cable is used as each extra connector will reduce signal levels.
  • Page 112 Chapter 5: Installation If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to the unit, then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the extension cable. The supplied power cable has a cross-section of 2.0mm Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable.

    If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. EMC Servicing and Safety Guidelines • Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Rayma- rine service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in this Raymarine product.

  • Page 117: Disposal

    • Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use such information to improve our quality standards. • In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

  • Page 118: Problem Solving

    The factory default settings are listed in Chapter 4. 6.3 Problem Solving Prior to packing and shipping, all Raymarine products are subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programs. However, should this unit develop a fault, refer to Table 6-2 to identify the most likely cause and the corrective action required to restore normal operation.
