5-In-1 Antenna Connections - Raymarine YachtSense Link Installation & Operation Instructions

1. Vessel grounding point.
2. M3 size ring crimp (not supplied).
3. Grounding strap connected to vessel RF ground (not supplied).
4. Grounding screw and washers (supplied pre-fitted to the unit).
To connect the grounding point, an M3 ring crimp and suitable cable is
required to create a grounding strap.
The grounding cable is connected to the product using the M3 screw and
washers that are supplied pre-fitted to the product's grounding point.
The preferred minimum requirement for the path to the vessel's ground
(bonded or non-bonded) is via a flat tinned copper braid, with a 30 A rating or
greater. If this is not possible, an equivalent stranded wire conductor may be
used, rated as follows:
• for runs of <1 m (3 ft), use 6 mm2 (10 AWG) or greater.
• for runs of >1 m (3 ft), use 8 mm2 (8 AWG) or greater.
In any grounding system, always keep the length of connecting braid or
wires as short as possible.

5.8 5-in-1 antenna connections

The supplied 5-in-1 antenna is connected to the antenna connections on
the top of the YachtSense ™ Link unit.
Connectors and cables are labelled appropriately. Connections are made
by pushing the relevant cable connector over the relevant connector on the
router and securing by turning the connector nut clockwise until tight.
The antenna's cable is 5 m (16.4 ft) in length. This length can be extended if
required using the optional 5 m (16.4 ft) extension cable (A80701), for a
total cable length (including the antenna's supplied cable) of 10 m (32.8 ft).
