[. . . ] Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised. For optimum EMC performance, we make the following recommendations: vi · Place Raymarine equipment and cables at least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment that transmits, or cables that carry, radio signals from VHF radios, cables and antennas. Place Raymarine equipment and cables more than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine-start does not have a separate battery. Do not cut or extend cables unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. · · · · Remember Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations: · Always allow the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. This will provide the best conditions for good EMC performance of the installation. Suppression ferrites Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. Any ferrite removed during installation must be replaced as soon as installation is complete. Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers. Connections to other equipment If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit. EMC Servicing and maintenance · Undue noise and interference may be a symptom of an EMC-related problem. Please report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. To minimize any EMC related problems and ensure the best possible performance form your Raymarine equipment, follow the guidelines given in the installation instructions. · Product documents The following user documents are available to help you install and operate an ST70 instrument controller: · ST70 Instrument Installation Guide (this document). · ST70 Instrument Operating Guide. This is a detailed manual supplied with your ST70 instrument. This provides detailed information regarding SeaTalkng connectivity.

[. . . ] · Identify the install location and appropriate network connection point. WARNING: Electrical safety Before you make any electrical connections, ensure the power supply is switched off and you have read the EMC installation guidelines (see page v). For safety, your boat must be at dockside before you begin installation. 3. 1 Install the instrument Once you are certain it is safe to proceed, follow the installation procedure below. Fit cable to system connection point and route to ST70 instrument location For SeaTalkng: · · Label both ends of the SeaTalkng cable, and attach it to the backbone or an existing ST70 instrument on your system. Before you connect a transducer to a pod, ensure that you are using the correct type of pod (speed pod for a speed transducer or depth pod for a depth transducer, for example). [. . . ]
