For entertainment, the external audio can be a cassette deck, radio, or CD player. For business, it can also be any other instrument having an external audio output, such as the output from a VHF or SSB radiotelephone.
EXTERNAL ALARM CONNECTION — For external systems or security alarm sensors. EASY TO USE — An ideal arrangement, the RAY 430 has an illuminated keyboard and LCD which clearly shows all selected stations and operating modes. DURABLE, WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION — With rugged gaskets and our heavy-duty microphone the RAY 430 is built to survive in the toughest marine environments.
2.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION Use care when unpacking your new RAY 430 from the shipping carton to prevent damage to the contents. It is also a good practice to save the carton and the interior packing material. The original packing material should be used in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary in the future to return the unit for service.
2.2.1 Optional Accessories Item # Console Mounting Kit (Flush Mount) Console Mounting Kit (Trim Ring Style) Power Supply, 115/220 VAC to 1 2 VDC Intercom Speaker 2.3 STORAGE After all of the components have been unpacked and inspected, they should be replaced in their shipping containers and stored in a dry place until they are to be installed.
2.4 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION When planning the location for your RAY 430 to be installed, the following conditions should be considered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation. 1) The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow easy operation of the front panel and provide the best viewing angle of the display.

2.4.1 Mounting Options Flush-mounting your RAY430 can be performed using one of the methods shown below. Console Mounting Kit (Trim Ring Style-M95995) Console Mounting Kit (M95990) Figure 2-3 2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Figure 2-4 RAY430 Rear Panel CAUTION DO NOT INSTALL THIS RADIO ON VESSELS WITH POSITIVE GROUND BATTERY SYSTEMS.
The power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power distribution panel on larger boats. The RAY430 is fused at 10 amps so connection to a 10 amp or (maximum of) 15 amp circuit breaker is recommended. On smaller vessels the power leads may be connected directly to the main battery, isolation switch, or circuit breaker.
2.5.3 Hailer Horn(s) The outside hailer horns should be mounted facing away from the display unit to prevent feedback problems using the universal swivel mount provided. High gain audio amplifier circuits “hailers” are susceptible to high frequency audio oscillations (a.k.a. feedback).
Your RAY 430 has been designed to allow you to amplify the audio from your VHF radiotelephone or any other external audio output (i.e. AM/FM radio, CD player) through your intercom or deck speaker stations. This external audio input can be connected at the auxiliary input terminals 1 and 2.
Following is a description of the front panel controls of the RAY 430 loudhailer. 3.2 CONTROLS AND LCD DISPLAY Refer to Figure 3-1 for familiarization with the following controls: Figure 3-1 RAY430 Front Panel 3.2.1 Controls 1) On/Off & Dimmer Control Knob: This control turns the RAY 430 On and Off, and rotating the control clockwise increases the backlighting level of the LCD display.
Page 21
2) Hail Output Control: Rotating this control clockwise will increase the volume going to the Hailer Horns or Inter-com Speaker(s) and rotating this control counterclockwise will decrease the volume. 3) Listen Control: Rotating this control clockwise will increase the listening volume at the internal speaker and rotating this control counterclockwise will decrease the volume.
13) ALL Key: Connects the input/output circuitry to all speaker stations for use simultaneously during fog-horn, hailer or public address operations. 14) Microphone PTT (Push-To-Talk) Switch The PTT switch located on the side of the RAY 430 microphone is used to activate the microphone, etc.

When the FOG mode is selected, the message area will display the selected type of signal to be emitted as follows: TYPE MANUAL UNDRWY STOP SAIL ANCHOR AGROUND Automatic YELP ALARM The speaker station display normally indicates the location of the speakers selected for use with each operating function.
Note: You should never remove the power leads while the unit is turned on. 3.3.2 Volume Control (Hail & Listen) 1) HAIL Volume Controls the volume level to external loudspeakers connected to the RAY430. 2) Listen Volume This allows the user to Adjust the RAY 430 to the desired listening volume level. When the control is turned clockwise, the volume level will increase.
3.3.3 Hail Mode The mode keys are used to select one of the four operating modes. They are HAIL, FOG, AUX or INTC. To operate the RAY 430 as a loudhailer, proceed as follows: 1) Press the [HAIL] key. After pressing the [HAIL] key, the HAIL mode is selected and “HAILER” appears on the LCD display in the operating mode window.

second step in operating the intercom mode. Once the station has been selected, communications from the master station (RAY 430 unit) can be enabled. In the intercom mode, upon pressing the microphone [PTT] button, “TALK” appears in the speaker station display window. Your voice signal through the microphone is amplified and sent to the Selected intercom speaker(s).
3.3.5 Fog Horn Mode The [FOG] key allows the user to alternately select one of the automatic or manual FOG output signals. There are 9 kinds of alarms. They are: MANUAL, UNDRWY, STOP, SAIL, TOW, ANCHOR, AGROUND, YELP and ALARM. Whenever the [FOG] key is pressed, the alarm type is changed in the following order: A.
Page 28
In 1 second, “FOG 1 “ disappears and the station speaker selection appears. The Fog 1 alarm pattern is: One 5-second blast at 2 minute intervals. C. STOP (Fog 2) Usage: Power Boat “STOPPED” This automatic fog signal is emitted when the vessel is stopped. The message “STOP” appears in the mode display window and “FOG 2”...
Page 29
“FOG 3” will disappear and the speaker station selection re-appears in the station display window. The Fog 3 signal pattern is: One 5 second blast, followed by two I second blast, at 2 second intervals, this will be re- peated every 2 minutes. E.
Page 30
F. ANCHOR (FOG 5) Usage: Any Vessel at Anchor For this automatic fog signal press the [FOG] key again, the message “ANCHOR” appears on the mode display and “FOG 5” appears in the station display window. “FOG 5” will disappear and the speaker station reappears in 1 second after FOG 5 is selected.
Page 31
H. YELP Usage: Coast Guard, Patrol Vessels, etc. This is a manually activated attention getting alarm signal often used by regulatory vessels. When the [FOG] key is pressed again Yelp is selected, “Yelp” appears in the mode display window. In this mode the horn yelps by pressing the microphone PTT button. ALARM (Burglar alarm mode) If an external normally open type switch sensor is attached (not supplied) to the ALM terminal on the rear panel, this unit can operate as a burglar alarm unit.
The alarm itself is not enabled for five minutes after selection. However, in five minutes, the characters and backlighting on the LCD display window goes out and only the [FOG] key and On/Off & Dimmer Control (to Off) are operable on the RAY 430. The RAY 430 will appear to be OFE In this condition the burglar alarm will only sound if the ON signal from the external alarm sensor connected to the ALARM is tripped.
SECTION 4 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 4.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 4-1 is the block diagram of the RAY43O. The operation of the circuitry described below is based upon this block diagram. 1. CPU The CPU (U-203) accepts key entry from the keyboard and selects the proper input and out-put signals to control devices.
Page 35
9. Input Signal Selector Selects input signal to active the FWD, AFT, INT, or EXT speaker(s). 10. Tone Generator Generates a horn and alarm sound for the RAY 430. This generator is controlled by the CPU to produce correct sound patterns and signal timing for various automatic or manual signal outputs.
5.1.1 Product and Customer Service In the event that your RAY 430 is in need of service, the dealer from whom the radio was purchased, or an authorized Raymarine dealer should be contacted for assistance. The authorized Raymarine dealer is best equipped to handle your inquiries. If, after...
2. The unit front panel should be cleaned with a tissue or a soft non-abrasive cloth. Care should be exercised when cleaning any plastic surface to prevent scratching, especially the LCD window area. Mild soap and water may be used in stubborn cases. The unit case should be cleaned of any salt spray or dust as often as necessary.
5.3.3 Intercom Output Adjustment Connect Audio Oscillator; AC SSVM and 8-ohm Dummy Load as shown in Figure 5-2 (Audio Oscillator output: 7.5 mV). Rotate Hail Volume fully clockwise.
