When planning the installation of your RAY230/E, the following conditions
should be considered to ensure dependable and trouble-free operation.
• The mounting location of the primary cradle and handset should allow
easy access from where the ship is normally navigated.
• The Base Station transceiver and Handset should be located at least 3
feet from the antenna.
• There should be adequate ventilation for the Base Station transceiver.
• A sufficient space should be secured behind the transceiver to allow for
proper cable connections to the rear panel connectors.
• The transceiver should be located as near as possible to the power source
• The selected location should be as far apart as possible from any devices
that may cause interference such as motors, generators, and other on
board electronics.
• The transceiver should be protected from prolonged direct exposure to
rain and salt spray. It is always a good practice to protect your valuable
electronic equipment from the elements as much as possible.
• Use adequately sized wire for all DC power connections and make sure to
solder all in-line connectors or splices.
