RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook
RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook EMC Installation & Service Guidelines IMPORTANT NOTE All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Regulations, but good installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.
RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook Check Before Going to Sea • Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.. • In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Chapter 1: Introduction 1 Chapter1: Introduction 1.1 General Information Congratulations on your purchase of Raytheon’s Raystar 112 GPS sensor unit. We think you will appreciate the accuracy of GPS, the quality, long-term reliability, and additional space saving convenience of having GPS navigation data available at your navigation console from your new Raystar 112. Built into the environmentally rugged, compact housing is our newest 12 channel GPS receiver/processor combined with the ADP antenna.
2 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook that at any time a minimum of 6 satellites will be in view to users anywhere in the world. The satellites continuously broadcast position and time data to users throughout the world. The Control Segment, consists of a master control station in Colorado Springs, with five monitor stations and three ground antennas located throughout the world.
Chapter 1: Introduction 3 Normally the Raystar 112 tracks up to 12 satellites (if visible) and uses all tracked satellites for calculating position fixes. By using these satellites, the processor can determine the amount of clock errors in each range calculation. The receiver subtracts the error bias equally from each range solution until the lines of position (LOP’s) intersect.
4 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook position output accuracy of the Raystar 112 from +/- 100 meters down to 5 to 8 meters in most cases.
Chapter 2: Installation 5 Chapter 2: Installation 2.1 Installing the Sensor Unit 2.1.1 Tips on Locating the Sensor The sensor is designed to receive the signals emitted from the satellites in a direct path. Ideally, the antenna unit should be mounted vertically in a location that is open and clear of any masts, search lights, or other structures that could block the line-of-sight reception of the antenna unit.
6 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook to the point of connection. It is important to keep the cable separated from other shipboard cables as much as possible to prevent interference pickup. 2.1.2 Items Supplied 1 each Raystar 112 GPS Sensor Unit, with 33ft (10 m) cable 1 each Instruction Manual 2.1.3 Mounting the Sensor The aluminum base of the sensor is threaded for use with a standard 1inch x 14 NPT marine antenna mount or extension mast.
Chapter 2: Installation 7 the cable is fed externally through the slot, the cable should be tyrapped or clamped at the base. Then the slot in the base should be sealed with RTV silicon sealant. The cable assembly supplied is 33 ft (10 m) in length with a 6 pin connector installed at the receiver end. The cable should be run as directly as possible to the navigation console or to the external navigation device.
8 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook Data Input to Sensor The sensor data input line is used to provide initialization data to the sensor unit as well as other set-up information, such as geodetic datum selection. This data is ordinarily provided via Raytheon’s GPS display units (RayNav 298, RayNav 398, etc.). 2.2.
Chapter 2: Installation 9 2.2.3 Connection to External Navigation Equipments The diagram shown below should be followed to make connections of the NMEA 0183 data to external units. A terminal strip would provide a convenient means for attaching the necessary inputs and outputs. WARNING: OBSERVE PROPER POLARITY! The 12VDC power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power distribution panel on larger boats. The unit draws approximately 0.
10 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook shown in the previous drawing, connect the Data ( + ) wire to terminal 4 of the terminal strip. Connect the Data return ( - ) wire to terminal 3. The shield of the interface cable is also connected to terminal 3 of the strip. 2.2.
Chapter3:Operation 11 Chapter 3: Operation 3.1 COLD Start (Initial Start-up) Your GPS is set up for fully Automatic operation when it leaves the factory. All you need to do is turn the unit ON. When power is applied to the Raystar 112 for the very first time, the GPS sensor has to locate and identify three or more satellites before determining the vessel’s actual L/L position. The sensor’s memories contain pre-programmed profiles of each satellite’s signal coding.
12 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook data system while the GPS sensor is busy calculating positions using another data system. When using the Raytheon’s GPS display unit, the sensor can be programmed to use different geodetic datums for making position calculations. The datums that may be selected via the display unit are as follows: No.
Chapter 4: Maintenance 13 Chapter 4: Maintenance 4.1 General Maintaining satisfactory operation of your Raystar 112 can depend on how well you care for the equipment. The simple maintenance tips that follow can save you time and money, as well as prevent unnecessary premature failures when the unit is most needed. Note: Periodically check system hardware. Inspect the sensor, mount, and cables, making sure all components are free of corrosion and are securely mounted.
14 RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook 4.3 Trouble Shooting All Raytheon products undergo comprehensive testing prior to packaging and shipment from the factory. However, in the unlikely event that a problem arises, the following checks should help to locate the possible cause. Fault Cause Action No data output after 30 min. operation. No DC power 1. Check power is switched on. 2. Check fuse/breaker No satellites No fix Path blocked 3.
Chapter 4: Maintenance 15 4.4 Electrical Specifications: General: Receiver type: 12 Channel, parallel, highspeed Frequency: 1575.42 MHz +/- 1MHz (C/A code), L1 Sensitivity: -130 dBm Signal Acquisition: Automatic and computer controlled Time to first fix: 10 minutes maximum; Less than 3 minutes after first fix. Maximum No. of tracked satellites: 12 Almanac update: Automatic Accuracy (Typical): Position: Speed: SA= Off SA= On +/- 15M +/- 100M 0.
