This will help to keep cable runs to a minimum. EMC installation guidelines Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect such interference could have on the performance of your system...
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible: • Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas.
Page 24
This location provides optimal GPS performance (above decks). In this location, GPS performance may be less effective. This location is NOT recommended for GPS antenna. Vessel construction The construction of your vessel can have an impact on GPS performance. For example, the proximity of heavy structures such as a structural bulkhead, or the interior of larger vessels may result in a reduced GPS signal.
Touchscreen location requirements Touchscreens offer an alternative to using physical buttons to control your display. Full product functionality can be achieved using the Touchscreen. Note: Touchscreen performance can be affected by the installation environment, specifically Touchscreen displays installed above decks, where it will be open to the elements may exhibit the following: •...
Viewing angle considerations As display contrast and color are affected by the viewing angle, It is recommended that you temporarily power up the display, prior to installation, to enable you to best judge which location provides the optimum viewing angle. Refer to Chapter 8 Technical specification for viewing angles for your product.
