Chapter 1: Important information Warning: Antenna isolation Safety notices To prevent galvanic corrosion your antenna must be isolated from any vessel metalwork using a suitable insulated e.g. plastic, mounting bracket. Certified Installation Raymarine recommends certified installation by a Raymarine approved installer. A certified installation qualifies for enhanced product warranty benefits.
Caution: Product cleaning When cleaning products: can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: • If your product includes a display screen, do NOT wipe the screen with a dry cloth, as this could scratch the screen coating. 1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Do NOT use abrasive, or acid or ammonia based products. 3.
European licensing requirements Regulations in some areas require that an Operator’s license is obtained before operating a VHF radio. It is your responsibility to determine whether a license is required in your area before operating this equipment. Additional information – Ray50 / Ray52 The following additional information is required for completing a license application in Canada and the US.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible: • Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m). – More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.

3.8 System protocols Your product can send and receive position information, e.g. latitude and longitude using any of the following protocols: • SeaTalkng passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three letter sentence identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that the same sentence identifiers are used some examples of which are: • NMEA 2000 • VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data. • NMEA 0183 • GLL - carries latitude and longitude.
3.9 General location requirements When selecting a location for the unit it is important to consider a number of factors. 1 2 Antenna mounting and EME exposure 3 Ensure that the antenna is connected to the radio before transmission. Raymarine declares a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) (per OET Bulletin 65) for this system, assuming 25 watts output to an omnidirectional antenna of 3dBi gain or less.
• Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors. Electrical interference Select a location that is far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers. 3.10 Mounting options The product can be mounted in the following configurations. 1 2 3 4 Power supply Select a location that is as close as possible to the vessel’s DC power supply.

Removing the mounting hole covers — Ray50 / Ray52 Before mounting the unit ensure that you have: Before the Ray50 / Ray52 can be panel mounted the mounting hole covers must be removed. • Selected a suitable location, ensuring there is nothing behind the mounting surface that may be damaged when drilling. • Identified the cable connections and route that the cables will take.
Note: The supplied gasket provides a seal between the unit and a suitably flat and stiff mounting surface or binnacle. The gasket should always be used. It may also be necessary to use a marine-grade sealant if the mounting surface or binnacle is not entirely flat and stiff or has a rough surface finish. D13207-1 1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clearance behind the panel is required. 2.
5.3 Ray60 / Ray70 Panel mounting Drilling out the mounting holes – Ray60 / Ray70 Before panel mounting the product the mounting holes must be drilled out. Guides for the mounting holes can be found in the corners of the unit, under the front bezel. x4 D13209-1 1. Using a drill and a 4 mm (5/32) drill bit, drill out the 4 mounting holes. Holes should be drilled from the front of the unit, taking care not to damage the unit by applying too much force to the drill.
5.4 Fistmic / Handset mounting The Fistmic and optional Handset can be mounted by following the steps below. Whilst only the Fistmic is pictured below the steps are identical when mounting the Handset using the mounting clip. Before mounting the unit, ensure that you have: • Selected a suitable location, ensuring there is nothing behind the mounting surface that may be damaged when drilling. 5.
5.6 Pass-through panel kit mounting When installing the Fistmic or the optional Raymic handset, the pass-through panel kit should be used to secure the cable to any panels the cable has to pass through. to another pass-through panel mounting plate connector. Note: Drill bit, tap size and tightening torque is dependent on the thickness and type of material the unit is to be mounted on.

7.1 Digital Selective Calling (DSC) Traditional VHF radio systems require users to listen until someone speaks, and then determine whether the call is for them. DSC ensures that calls are received by alerting or announcing the intended recipient(s) first so they are ready to listen to the subsequent message on the relevant channel.
7.2 Distress calls down reaches zero the DSC distress call is transmitted. Making a designated distress call When making a Distress call you can specify the nature of the distress, if GPS data is not available you must also specify your coordinates. Note: Your radio must have an MMSI number saved before DSC functions can be used. From the Distress call menu: Menu > DSC Calls > Distress calls 1. Select a distress type from the list.
Cancelling a distress call after transmission A distress call can be cancelled after it has been transmitted. 1 DISTRESS CALL 00:04 Sinking 2 3 MMSI 123456789 Accept- Ch16 Showinfo 4 D13229-2 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

4. You MUST then notify the shore authorities by any means possible to relay the distress call. 7.3 Urgency calls Making an urgency call Manually relaying a distress call A distress relay should only be sent if: the person or vehicle in distress is unable to transmit the distress call itself, for example red flares sighted at night or the person or vehicle in distress is out of range of a CRS and you have already acknowledged the distress by voice message.
7.4 Safety calls 7.5 Individual (routine) calls Making a safety call Individual calls can be made to contacts saved in your phonebook or to any station by manually entering an MMSI number. Safety calls should be used when there is an important navigational warning or meteorological forecast/broadcast. Safety alerts can also be used for communications during search and rescue operations. From the All ships call menu: Menu > DSC Calls > All ships call. 1. Select Safety. 2.
4. If you rejected the call, select a reason for the rejection from the list. Confirmation of the acceptance or rejection of the call is displayed. If you have accepted the call then the radio will re-tune to the requested channel. 7.6 Group calls Group calls can be made to groups of vessels sharing the same Group MMSI numbers. Group calls are made by selecting a saved group contact from the Phonebook or by entering the Group MMSI number for the group you want to call.
7.7 Position requests 7.8 Phonebook The radio can request position information from any station capable of responding to the request. The phonebook can be used to save up to 100 contacts. Position requests can be sent to any contact stored in the Phonebook or by manually inputting the station’s MMSI number. You can add, edit and delete contacts stored in the phonebook. When connected to a Raymarine® multifunction display the position data from the request can also be display in the Chart application.
7.9 Call logs 7.10 Test calls All DSC calls are logged. A Test Call feature is available for the purposes of testing your DSC VHF radio for correct operation. The following call types are recorded in call logs: • distress • distress relay • distress acknowledgements • sent position requests • received position requests • group calls • all ship calls • individual routine calls The details below are recorded for each call: • MMSI number(s) (If a call is relayed up to 3 MMSI numbers can be recorded.
