Running the cable to the digital radar
CAUTION:
Do not pull the cable through bulkheads using a cord
attached to the connector. This could damage the
connections.
The digital connector plug is at the rear of the digital radar unit. If the
unit is mounted on a hollow structure the cable may be run up on
the inside and then fed through to the digital radars cable connector.
Make sure that the cable does not chafe where it enters and exits
the mounting structure.
Cable bend requirements
The minimum bends permitted are:
Minimum bend, 2.5 in (60 mm) radius
Extending cables
Data
You should NOT cut and re-join any of the supplied cables. If it is
necessary to extend the SeaTalk
hs
data cable you should use a
Raymarine supplied extension cable (see Table 1-1:, p.18 ).
For the SeaTalk
hs
data cable extensions you must:
• G-series: Connect the digital radar cable’s SeaTalk
hs
data plug
to the SeaTalk
hs
switch. The output of the SeaTalk
hs
switch
should then be connected to the G-series GPM’s SeaTalk
hs
port
for a networked system (see System configuration on page 8).
• E-series: If you have a single SeaTalk
hs
device to connect into
your E-series, use a SeaTalk
hs
cross-over coupler to route to the
display as a direct connection of the digital radars data output is
not possible (ensure you have 2 SeaTalk
hs
data cables for either
side of the cross-over coupler). If you have multiple SeaTalk
hs
devices, you should route to your display via a SeaTalk
hs
switch.
Connect the output of the switch to the E-series display for a
networked system, (see System configuration on page 9).
Note: Please ensure you have the correct software version in your E-
series display for use with the digital radar. For upgrade procedure
information and correct software levels, see your E-series
