2.4.1 Mounting Options Flush-mounting your RAY430 can be performed using one of the methods shown below. Console Mounting Kit (Trim Ring Style-M95995) Console Mounting Kit (M95990) Figure 2-3 2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Figure 2-4 RAY430 Rear Panel CAUTION DO NOT INSTALL THIS RADIO ON VESSELS WITH POSITIVE GROUND BATTERY SYSTEMS. 2.5.1 DC Power Connections The RAY 430 is intended for use on vessels with 12 VDC power systems and can operate as long as the DC supply is regulated between 10.8 and 16 VDC.
The power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power distribution panel on larger boats. The RAY430 is fused at 10 amps so connection to a 10 amp or (maximum of) 15 amp circuit breaker is recommended. On smaller vessels the power leads may be connected directly to the main battery, isolation switch, or circuit breaker.
2.5.3 Hailer Horn(s) The outside hailer horns should be mounted facing away from the display unit to prevent feedback problems using the universal swivel mount provided. High gain audio amplifier circuits “hailers” are susceptible to high frequency audio oscillations (a.k.a. feedback). It is highly recommended that be-fore permanently mounting the hailing horn, that the HAIL feature is tested with the horn in the desired location. This should be done to ensure optimum performance.
2.5.5 Remote Microphone An external microphone connection is located on the rear panel terminal strip. This may be used if you desire to operate hailing functions from a secondary station. Figure 2-7 2.5.6 Auxiliary Input Your RAY 430 has been designed to allow you to amplify the audio from your VHF radiotelephone or any other external audio output (i.e. AM/FM radio, CD player) through your intercom or deck speaker stations.
