3.6 Mounting options Depending on module configuration Master and Remote systems can be mounted with or without the included mounting bracket. When a Master system or Remote system includes 4 or more input / output modules extra mounting support is required. The supplied mounting bracket and rear shim should be used. 3.7 Mounting using the bracket Fitting the mounting bracket Master systems and Remote systems are supplied with a mounting bracket and rear shim.
Mounting systems using the bracket Follow the steps below to mount Master system assembly and Remote system assemblies that include 4 or more input / output modules.. Important: • To help prevent water ingress, systems must be mounted vertically with the connectors facing down.
3.8 Mounting without the bracket Follow the steps below to mount Master system assembly and Remote system assemblies. Important: • To help prevent water ingress, systems must be mounted vertically with the connectors facing down. • Use 4 x fixings, not supplied, appropriate for the intended mounting surface. The fixings should be appropriate width for the 5 mm (0.2 in) module mounting holes.
3.9 Mounting using the mounting template A mounting template is provided which can aid installation in confined or difficult to reach places. Important: • To help prevent water ingress, systems must be mounted vertically with the connectors facing down. • Use 4 x fixings, not supplied, appropriate for the intended mounting surface. The fixings should be appropriate width for the 5 mm (0.2 in) module mounting holes.
• Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. • Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run).

Example — 4 wire 4–20 mA sensors 4.10 Connecting the power supply The Power supply module is supplied with the Master modules and with Remote modules and provides power to the system and connected devices. • An appropriate rated 2 core power cable is required. 1.
2. Open the door on the side of the Power supply module by pulling the tab forwards whilst opening the door. 3. Remove the protective covers from the power connection studs, leaving them attached to the Power supply module. Important: The protective covers are attached to the Power supply module by lanyards, do not disconnected the protective covers form the Power supply module.
Each output channel should be fused with a fuse rated appropriately for the current draw of that channel. Important: Each output module is supplied with the maximum rated fuse for the channel (e.g.: The Dual Power supply module is supplied with a 20 A fuse fitted to each channel). Ensure that if required, the fuses are changed to reflect the actual current draw of the devices connected to each channel.
Page 53
Implementation — connection to distribution panel Power supply negative (-) Black wire 2. Power supply positive (+) Red wire 3. Waterproof thermal circuit breaker or inline fuse (rating determined by system current draw). • It is recommended that the supplied power cable is connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power distribution point.
4.11 Replacing module fuses Output modules are supplied with micro blade fuses fitted to each channel. The fuses are maximum rated for the channel’s maximum load capacity. Note: It is important that the fitted fuse rating reflects the load of the channel. Where the actual channel load is less than the maximum load capacity the fuse should be replaced by an appropriately rated fuse.
Fuse labeling During installation the fuses for each module in the system must be checked to ensure that the fuses are appropriately rated for each channel’s current draw. Ensure that if required, the fuses are changed to reflect the actual current draw of the devices connected to each channel. It is also important to make a note of the ratings of the fitted fuses, using the label provided on the front of each module.
Important: When replacing fuses ensure that the replacement fuse is rated the same as the fuse being replaced. 4.12 Fuse by-pass If a Hi power module channel or Lo power module channel fails and all efforts to restore have been unsuccessful then the module channel can be temporarily by-passed.
Example — Dedicated SeaTalkng ® system Note: For simplicity, the example above shows a SeaTalkng network dedicated to YachtSense Digital Control System, however other SeaTalkng devices can be connected. Note: The illustration above shows only the dedicated power supply for the SeaTalkng network. Additionally, the MFD and the YachtSense Digital Control System Master module each require their own power supplies.
