i. Locate the front cover clip-on over the front of the display - see ii. Check that the buttons have passed through the cover and are free to operate. It is suggested that you use your thumb or forefinger in a circular motion to do this.
Chapter 3: Installation Flush mount You should flush mount your display as follows:. 1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the unit, is required. 2. Fix the appropriate template - E80 or E120, supplied in the document wallet, to the selected location, using self-adhesive tape.
Attaching the front cover clip-on The front cover clip-on is attached as follows: 1. Carefully lift one edge of the screen protection film, so that it is accessible for removing when unit installation is complete. 2. Place the front cover clip-on onto the E-Series Display, ensuring that the locking lugs (located at the bottom edge of the covers) are latched into position.
Chapter 3: Installation Removing the front cover clip-on To remove the clip- on front cover: 1. To prevent damaging your dash or placing undue strain on the trunnion bracket, remove the unit from its mounting before proceeding. If you have flush mounted your Display and cannot readily gain access to the rear of the unit, protect the dash and proceed with caution.
3.2 Cables This section details how to instal and connect all the relevant cables to your E-Series Display. Siting and securing cables When installing system cables, please note the following: • All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and exposure to heat.
Page 33

Please read the details relating to each cable before connecting them. E-Series cable connections Supplied Not supplied/accessory...
12v or 24v. The power connection should be made at either the output of the battery isolating switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine recommends that power is fed directly to the display and scanner via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, installed close to the power connection.
Page 35
Chapter 3: Installation Extension cable If an extension power cable is required, please note the following: • The wire gauge used may be affected by the scanner type. • To minimize voltage drops, use large gauge cable. • Use the supplied power cable to connect to the display unit. Then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the extension cable, taking particular care to ensure the correct polarity.

Video In cable Your E-Series display will support on-board cameras, DVD or video players etc. using composite or S-Video source type. If you have an E-Series network, you will need to connect the input source to the individual display on which it is to be viewed as video images cannot be seen across the SeaTalk High Speed network.
The above issue does not occur in systems where: • The external monitor is a Raymarine M1500 as this has an isolated supply. • The external monitor is powered through an inverter (mains supply) or other iso- lated supply.

Ensure that the transducer cable is inserted and the bayonet connector locked onto the DSM 300. Check that the GPS has a clear view of the sky and is not obstructed e.g. by buildings, bridges or other equipment fitted on-board.
4.4 Testing and checks Radar checks and alignment Your E-Series display is part of an integrated system. Raymarine strongly advise that you test and align the radar before connecting to other systems. To test and align the radar you must first select a radar application. With the Select Page Set screen displayed (see previous section): 1.
Radar alignment checks You should check the bearing and display timing alignment to ensure that an accurate picture is shown. Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct bearing reading is obtained.

Chapter 4: Commissioning the system To check the display timing: 1. Use the RANGE button to select the 1/8 nm scale. 2. On the radar picture locate a straight dock, seawall or bridge that is facing your boat. If the image is bent or bowed, the display timing will need adjustment Under certain circumstances, it may be easier to adjust the display timing with Main Bang Suppression (MBS) OFF.
