Chapter 6: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
This chapter provides information on routine maintenance and problem
solving associated with your RC435/435i Chartplotter and/or its antenna.

6.1 Maintenance

CAUTION:
The chartplotter contains high voltage and specialized circuits only
accessible to qualified service technicians - there are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments and the operator should not
attempt to service the equipment. The operator should not remove
the rear cover.

Routine Checks

The Chartplotter is a sealed unit. Maintenance procedures are therefore
limited to the following periodic checks:
•
•
•
•
Note: Never use chemical or abrasive materials to clean the chartplotter.
If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

Servicing and Safety

Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine
service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and
replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no user
serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/
connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic
fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact
with one another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation.
Wipe the display unit clean with a damp cloth
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks
Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached and that the con-
nections to the vessel's DC power are clean and tight
Ensure that the cartridge cover is always fitted correctly
