3.1 Selecting a location Warnings and cautions Important: Before proceeding, ensure that you have read and understood the warnings and cautions provided in the Chapter 1 Important information section of this document. General location requirements Below are important requirements that need to be considered when choosing a suitable location to install your product.
For the viewing angles for your product refer to p.43 — Technical specification 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 Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
3.2 Product dimensions The dimensions below must be considered when choosing a location for your product. • A: 115 mm (4.53 in) • B: 90 mm (3.54 in) • C: 110 mm (4.33 in) • D: 17.8 mm (0.7 in) •...
Note: (1) Drill bit size is dependent on the thickness and type of material that the unit is to be mounted on. 3.4 Bezel removal Prior to mounting the unit the bezel must be removed. Removing the bezel Note: Take care when removing the bezel. Only use a plastic pry tool (not supplied) to lever the bezel, attempting to use a metal tool may cause damage.
1. Remove the bezel. 2. Using your fingers, grip the top edge of the keypad and pull it down and away from the unit. 3.6 Mounting Pre-mounting check The product is designed to be surface mounted. Before mounting the unit, ensure you have: •...
Mounting diagram Note: The illustration above depicts mounting of a p70Rs. The mounting procedure for the p70s and p70Rs are the same. Mounting instructions 1. Ensure the selected location meets the location requirements found here: p.18 — General location requirements 2.
3.7 Fitting the keypad The keypad is held in place by tabs located on the top and bottom edge of the keypad. To fit the keypad correctly all of the tabs must be engaged. 1. Tilt the top edge of the keypad forwards and insert the bottom edge into the unit, ensuring the tabs line up with their respective slots.
• 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).
4.2 Connections overview Your product is supplied power and data using theSeaTalkng ® connector located on the back of the unit. Connector Connections • SeaTalkng ® backbone using a SeaTalkng ® spur cable. • NMEA 2000 backbone using SeaTalkng ® to DeviceNet adaptor cable (A06045) •...
The SeaTalkng ® power cable (A06049) is used to connect the SeaTalkng backbone to your chosen 12 V dc power supply. SeaTalkng ® product loading The number of products that can be connected to a SeaTalkng ® backbone depends on the current draw of each product and the physical length of the backbone cabling.
• The information provided below is for guidance only, to help protect your product. It covers common vessel power arrangements, but does NOT cover every scenario. If you are unsure how to provide the correct level of protection, please consult an authorized Raymarine dealer or a suitably qualified professional marine electrician.

Implementation — connection to distribution panel Waterproof fuse holder with 5 A inline fuse must be fitted (not supplied). 2. SeaTalkng ® power cable. 3. RF Ground connection point for drain wire. • Ideally, the SeaTalkng ® power cable should be connected to a suitable breaker or switch on the vessel's distribution panel or factory-fitted power distribution point.
Page 31
Important: Observe the recommended fuse / breaker ratings provided in the product’s documentation, however be aware that the suitable fuse / breaker rating is dependent on the number of devices being connected. Implementation — direct connection to battery • SeaTalkng ®Where connection to a power distribution panel is not possible, the power cable may be connected to the vessel's battery..
• For power cable extensions, a minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.31 mm ) is recommended. For cable runs longer than 15 meters, you may need to consider a thicker wire gauge (e.g. 14 AWG (2.08 mm ), or 12 AWG (3.31 mm ) ).
4.5 SeaTalkng ® connection The p70s and p70Rs can be used to control Evolution™ and SPX autopilot systems. With either autopilot system the p70s / p70Rs is connected to the system using the same method, shown below. Note: An Evolution™ system that includes and ACU-100 or ACU-150 requires a dedicated 12 V dc power supply connected to the SeaTalkng ®...
