Planning the installation

Introduction

Consisting of core packages that join together to produce a fully integrated system, the
installation of Raymarine H6 requires careful planning to ensure that it can achieve its
full potential. Before installing Raymarine H6, plan the installation, considering:

• Installation sites

• Safety of operation.
• Navtex.
• Television reception.
• Cable runs.
• Location of computer and interface units.
• Location of the display units.
• Location of base sensors and transducers.
Project management
As can be seen from the above list, there are many facets to an installation. It is
recommended that the installation process is split into its various component parts
and managed to ensure that all of the different sections are available in the correct
sequence at the right time.
Installation sites
When planning installation sites for system components, consider the following:
• Ventilation - Electrical components generate heat; any installation site must
have adequate ventilation. This is particularly relevant for computers, interface
units, amplifiers and displays. In some locations it may require forced ventilation to
ensure adequate ventilation and airflow.
• Unit mounting - Whilst individual units incorporate shock mounting, it is vital
that the units themselves are securely mounted and adequately supported to avoid
unnecessary damage to the system or boat's structure.
Because each installation of Raymarine H6 is unique, it is the responsibility of the
installer to ensure that adequate support and fixing is provided for system
components and in most cases will require local manufacture of mounting
brackets and straps.
