    Many defaults for the data displays can be set as required, so that, for example, information is presented in the preferred units. The RayData keys are always lit, taking the guesswork out of night-time use. The display can be backlit in low light conditions, and the lighting intensity and the contrast can be adjusted.

  • Page 11: Standard Displays And Facilities

    1.2 Standard Displays and Facilities When used as a stand-alone unit, with its direct-connection depth and speed and temperature transducers, the RayData provides a range of useful data and facilities. Data Displayed The RayData stand-alone system can display the following items of data: •...

  • Page 12: Data Displayed

    Data Displayed The RayData can display the following additional items of data, if the appropriate information is available over a SeaTalk or NMEA interface: • Heading • Locked heading • Position, as Lat/Long or TD • Speed over ground (SOG) •...

  • Page 13: Data Sent

    The RayData will display a subset of the SeaTalk alarms sent by other instruments on the system, including Watch alarms. It can also send, display and cancel a Man Overboard (MOB) warning. Data Sent The RayData’s primary function is to display data received from its own transducers.

  • Page 14: Chapter 2: Installation

    Chapter 2: Installation 2.1 Introduction This chapter explains how to install your RayData. If you are installing it as a stand-alone unit, you will need to install the speed and depth transducers and cables, and mount the RayData. If you are connecting your RayData to a larger system, you should refer to the installation instructions for the other units and for connection to the SeaTalk bus.

  • Page 15: Emc Installation And Service Guidelines

    • Genuine Raymarine cables should be used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in this handbook.

  • Page 16: Check Before Going To Sea

    • Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment. • Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality standards.

  • Page 17: Installing The Depth And Speed Transducers

    2.4 Installing the Depth and Speed Transducers If you are installing your RayData as a stand-alone unit, you need to install the depth transducer and the speed transducer (incorporating the temperature transducer) that will be connected to the RayData. The depth and speed transducers are normally supplied with detailed installation and maintenance instructions.

  • Page 18: Installing The Speed Transducer (Through Hull)

    Installing the Speed Transducer (Through Hull) For accurate speed readings, locate the speed transducer in the shaded ‘clear flow’ areas as shown. The transducer should also be: • Ahead of propellers (10% W.L. length minimum) • At least 6in (150mm) from the keel (with sailing yachts siting should be forward of the keel) •...

  • Page 19: Siting Of Depth Transducer (Standard Through Hull)

    The depth and speed transducers are supplied with 32.5ft (10m) of cable. These cables are fitted with female lug connectors that plug directly into the back of the RayData (see below). Allow some slack in the cables, so that the equipment can be serviced if necessary.

  • Page 20: Mounting The Raydata

    Chapter 3: Getting Started Chapter 3: Getting Started 3.1 Introduction This chapter introduces the RayData, explains how to turn it on and off, describes the display and the functions of the keys, and explains how to perform some basic operations.

  • Page 27: Using The Keys

    3.3 Turning the RayData On and Off When you turn on the power to the RayData, the keys light up and the LCD display shows the software version for three seconds. The screen then automatically changes to show the data that was displayed when the RayData was last used.

  • Page 28: The Display

    In low light levels, you can turn on and adjust the display backlighting and contrast, as described later in this chapter (see Section 3.6). To turn the RayData off, press and hold the NAV (POWER) key for three seconds. The RayData display is cleared and the key lights go off.

  • Page 29: Trend Arrow

    3.5 Changing the Information Displayed You can display any of the information available to the RayData using the five keys. For example, when the main depth page is displayed, you can use the DEPTH key to cycle through three main pages as follows: 1.
  • Page 30 Chapter 3: Getting Started 2. Press DEPTH again to display a three-line page, showing the depth, speed and temperature. 3. Press DEPTH a third time to return to the main depth display. These are the three main pages in the Depth Chapter. Further sub-pages are available using other keys.

  • Page 31: Changing The Lighting

    The level of lighting and contrast for the screen is controlled using the DEPTH key, as indicated by the lamp symbol over the key on the RayData front panel. The keys are always lit, so you will always be able to read the key labels.

  • Page 41: Automatic Calibration

    Automatic Calibration To calibrate the speed automatically, run between two points a known distance apart while the RayData monitors the speed data. You can perform up to four calibration runs, and the RayData averages the information to obtain the calibration factor that will be used to correct the speed data displayed.

  • Page 42: Manual Calibration

    If you already know the correct calibration factor, or have calculated it yourself by timing a known distance run, you should adjust the RayData’s calibration value as follows: 1. If one of the Setup pages is not currently displayed, press NAV and Ù...

    RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook Heading To display this page, press NAV from the Waypoint/Bearing/Distance page. This page shows the heading, in degrees Magnetic or degrees True, depending on the choice made in the Setup pages (see Chapter 4). The response of the heading value is also determined by the Setup selection.

  • Page 68: Locked Heading

    If the RayData is being used as part of a larger system, with an autopilot connected to the SeaTalk bus, and the autopilot is in lock mode, then the display will show PILOT HEADING instead of LOCKED HEADING, and the locked heading value received from the Autopilot is displayed.

  • Page 69: Changing The Locked Heading

  • Page 71: Fault Finding

    All Raymarine products are, prior to packing and shipping, subjected to comprehensive test and quality assurance programs. However, if a fault arises with your RayData, the following table will help you to identify the probable cause and provide the most likely cure.

  • Page 72: Self Test Mode

    NMEA data will be used after 30 seconds. If position data is lost, but speed and direction are still available, then after 30 seconds the RayData will calculate the position by dead reckoning, and indicate that this is the new data source.

  • Page 73: Maintenance

    7.6 Maintenance Certain atmospheric conditions may cause condensation to form on the RayData display window. This will not harm the instrument and can be cleared by increasing the illumination setting to HI. Maintaining satisfactory operation of your RayData will depend on how well you care for the equipment.
