5.1 General cabling guidance

Cable types and length

It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length.
• 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).

Strain relief

Use adequate strain relief for cabling to ensure that connectors are protected
from strain and will not pull out under extreme sea conditions.

Cable shielding

Ensure that cable shielding is not damaged during installation and that all
cables are properly shielded.
Warning: Positive ground systems
Do not connect this unit to a system which has positive
grounding.

Connecting cables

Follow the steps below to connect the cable(s) to your product.
1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switched off.
2. Ensure that the device being connected has been installed in accordance
with the installation instructions supplied with that device.
3. Ensuring correct orientation, push cable connectors fully onto the
corresponding connectors.
4. Engage any locking mechanism to ensure a secure connection (e.g.: turn
locking collars clockwise until tight, or in the locked position).
5. Ensure any bare ended wire connections are suitably insulated to prevent
shorting and corrosion due to water ingress.
