As a loudhailer, the RAY430 amplifies your voice up to a 30 watt level, for hailing through the hailing horn speaker, and when listening for replies, amplifies the incoming sounds to the desired listening level.
EXTERNAL ALARM CONNECTION — For external systems or security alarm sensors. EASY TO USE — An ideal arrangement, the RAY430 has an illuminated keyboard and LCD which clearly shows all selected stations and operating modes. DURABLE, WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION — With rugged gaskets and our heavy-duty microphone the RAY430 is built to survive in the toughest marine environments.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Use care when unpacking your new RAY430 from the shipping carton to prevent damage to the contents. It is also a good practice to save the carton and the interior packing material. The original packing material should be used in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary in the future to return the unit for service.
2.2.1 Optional Accessories Item # Console Mounting Kit (Flush Mount) Console Mounting Kit (Trim Ring Style) Power Supply, 115/220 VAC to 1 2 VDC STORAGE After all of the components have been unpacked and inspected, they should be replaced in their shipping containers and stored in a dry place until they are to be installed.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION When planning the location for your RAY430 to be installed, the following conditions should be considered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation. 1) The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow easy operation of the front panel and provide the best viewing angle of the display.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS RADIO ON VESSELS WITH POSITIVE 2.5.1 DC Power Connections The RAY430 is intended for use on vessels with 12 VDC power systems and can operate as long as the DC supply is regulated between 10.8 and 16 VDC.
The power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power distribution panel on larger boats. The RAY430 is fused at 10 amps so connection to a 10 amp or (maximum of) 15 amp circuit breaker is recommended. On smaller vessels the power leads may be connected directly to the main battery, isolation switch, or circuit breaker.
This should be done to ensure optimum performance. Generally speaking the horn should be mounted as far away as possible and facing away from the RAY430 base unit. It should be pointed in the opposite direction of the RAY430 microphone as you are speaking into it.
In situations where the main unit is distant from the operator and the noise level is very high, it may be difficult to hear your RAY430 clearly. By connecting an external (8 ohms, 5 watts or more) speaker, the sound level can be increased for improved listening capability. When an external speaker is connected at the external speaker jack, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.
INTRODUCTION While the operation of the RAY430 is easy and straight forward, the operator who is familiar with the functions and understands the layout of the front panel controls will be able to obtain the best performance from their equipment.

Rotating this control clockwise will increase the listening volume at the internal speaker and rotating this control counterclockwise will decrease the volume. 4) Hail Key: Pressing the [HAIL] key puts the RAY430 into the hailer mode and HAILER is displayed on the LCD. 5) FOG (Foghorn) Key: Pressing the [FOG] key sequentially selects one of the 9 different horn or automatic fog signals for use.
The lighting can also be turned off by use of the On/Off & Dimmer control knob. The Ray430 has 4 operating modes. The selected mode is indicated by the message on the left side of the display. The modes messages are: HAILER —...
Page 20
When the FOG mode is selected, the message area will display the selected type of signal to be emitted as follows: TYPE MANUAL UNDRWY STOP SAIL ANCHOR AGROUND YELP ALARM The speaker station display normally indicates the location of the speakers selected for use with each operating function.
Controls the volume level to external loudspeakers connected to the RAY430. 2) Listen Volume This allows the user to Adjust the RAY430 to the desired listening volume level. When the control is turned clockwise, the volume level will increase. The volume level decreases when...
The mode keys are used to select one of the four operating modes. They are HAIL, FOG, AUX or INTC. To operate the RAY430 as a loudhailer, proceed as follows: 1. Press the [HAIL] key. After pressing the [HAIL] key, the HAIL mode is selected and “HAILER” appears on the LCD display in the operating mode window.

Listen volume control knobs. Marking calls from Remote Intercom Stations As long as RAY430 power is on, the RAY430 master station can be called from any of the Inter-com sub-stations. When the [CALL] switch on the sub-station speaker is pressed, both an audible beeping and an LCD display indicator tell the master station which remote station wishes to communicate with the master station.
3.3.5 Fog Horn Mode The [FOG] key allows the user to alternately select one of the automatic or manual FOG output signals. There are 9 kinds of alarms. They are: MANUAL, UNDRWY, STOP, SAIL, TOW, ANCHOR, AGROUND, YELP and ALARM. Whenever the [FOG] key is pressed, the alarm type is changed in the following order: A.
Page 25
In 1 second, “FOG 1 “ disappears and the station speaker selection appears. The Fog 1 alarm pattern is: One 5-second blast at 2 minute intervals. C. STOP (Fog 2) Usage: Power Boat “STOPPED” This automatic fog signal is emitted when the vessel is stopped. The message “STOP” appears in the mode display window and “FOG 2”...
Page 26
“FOG 3” will disappear and the speaker station selection re-appears in the station display window. The Fog 3 signal pattern is: One 5 second blast, followed by two I second blast, at 2 second intervals, this will be repeated every 2 minutes. E.

F. ANCHOR (FOG 5) Usage: Any Vessel at Anchor For this automatic fog signal press the [FOG] key again, the message “ANCHOR” appears on the mode display and “FOG 5” appears in the station display window. “FOG 5” will disappear and the speaker station reappears in 1 second after FOG 5 is selected. The Fog 5 signal pattern is: A rapidly ringing bell tone will sound for a duration of at least 5 seconds, with a repetition interval which will not exceed 1 minute.
Page 28
H. YELP Usage: Coast Guard, Patrol Vessels, etc. This is a manually activated attention getting alarm signal often used by regulatory vessels. When the [FOG] key is pressed again Yelp is selected, “Yelp” appears in the mode display window. In this mode the horn yelps by pressing the microphone PTT button. I.
OFE In this condition the burglar alarm will only sound if the ON signal from the external alarm sensor connected to the ALARM is tripped. Clearing the ALARM mode To disable the Burglar alarm mode, press the [FOG] key or turn off the RAY430 by rotating the On/Off & Dimmer control knob fully counterclockwise. 3.3.6 Aux Mode...
SECTION 4 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 4-1 is the block diagram of the RAY43O. The operation of the circuitry described below is based upon this block diagram. 1. 1. CPU The CPU (U-203) accepts key entry from the keyboard and selects the proper input and out- put signals to control devices.
Page 32
Selects input signal to active the FWD, AFT, INT, or EXT speaker(s). 10. 10. Tone Generator Generates a horn and alarm sound for the RAY430. This generator is controlled by the CPU to produce correct sound patterns and signal timing for various automatic or manual signal outputs.
5.1.1 Product and Customer Service In the event that your RAY430 is in need of service, the dealer from whom the radio was purchased, or an authorized Raymarine dealer.
Do not use solvents or other chemicals for cleaning this equipment. ADJUSTMENT The RAY430 has been completely aligned at the factory and normally does not require any readjustment at installation. However, it is possible to adjust the tone level of the Hail & Intercom signal.
