Chapter 2: Installation

This chapter provides instructions to assist in planning the installation of

the RC400 GPS Chartplotter.

All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best

industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation

is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although

every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all

conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the

operation of the product.

For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that when using the

ship's power:

•

Unpack your RC400 GPS Chartplotter carefully. Retain the carton and

packing materials in the event that you need to return the unit for service.

Check that you have all the correct system components.

Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:

• At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carry-

ing radio signals (for example: VHF radios, cables and antennas.)

• More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam

can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below

the radiating element.

Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these

cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided

unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.

If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be

removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must

be reassembled in the same position.
