Grounding The System - Raymarine Raystar 114 Install Manual

Installation Guide
Ideally the cable should be run in a manner so that it can be hidden from
view and, if possible, be in a direct path to the point of connection. It is
important to keep the cable separated from other shipboard cables as
much as possible to prevent interference pick-up.
CAUTION
Care should be taken that the unit is sited to avoid personal injury
caused by falling on the aerial.
Note: Mounting on the mast of a sailboat is not recommended.

Grounding the System

For optimum operation the unit should be connected to the ship's
ground system. You can ground the unit using one of the following
three methods:
1. A 24 AWG wire can be connected via the screw connection found
in the base of the unit, as shown in the following illustration. A
suitable wire with eyelet is attached to the unit. If this length is
insufficient, use similar wire and connect with the additional eyelet
and screw provided.
2. The cable screen can be connected to ground.
Note: This will require the insulation to be cut back to obtain
access to the screen.
3. A conducting pole mount, which is connected to ground, can be
screwed into the base of the unit.
