In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation. 3. 2 Product support Raymarine products are supported by a worldwide network of distributors and Authorized Service Representatives. Before you consider returning the autopilot, make sure that the power supply cable is sound and that all connections are tight and free from corrosion. If the connections are secure, refer to the following Fault Finding section. If you cannot trace or rectify the fault, contact either your national distributor, service representative, or the Raymarine Technical Services Call Center. Refer to the back cover or the Worldwide Distributor List for contact details. 3 Maintenance & Fault Finding Always quote the product serial number, which is printed on the back of the control unit. 3. 3 Fault finding All Raymarine products are designed to provide many years of trouble-free operation. We also put them through comprehensive testing and quality assurance procedures before shipping. In the unlikely event that a fault does occur with your autopilot, use the following table to help identify the problem and provide a solution. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, contact either your national distributor, service representative, or the Raymarine Technical Services Call Center.

Cabling guidelines · · · consider how you will run cables to and from each component avoid running cables through bilges where possible avoid running cables close to fluorescent lights, engines, radio transmitting equipment etc. EMC installation guidelines 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. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.
