2.2.2 Mounting Location When Used Without Analog Gauge(s)

The RAA100 has two primary connections: 1) the NMEA 2000® network connection, and 2) the resistive rudder angle sender connection. Therefore, the RAA100 should be located between the NMEA 2000® trunk line and the resistive rudder angle sender. The reason for choosing this location is because you will be connecting some of the wires within the RAA100’s permanently attached gray cable to the rudder angle sender. Maretron recommends placing the RAA100 within 15 feet of the rudder angle sender so the gray cable can be directly attached to the sender without any splices (see Figure 2). You may also consider placing the RAA100 as close as possible to the NMEA 2000® trunk line so you can purchase the shortest or lowest cost NMEA 2000® drop cable. In fact, you can connect the RAA100 directly to a tee attached to the NMEA 2000® trunk so you don’t have to purchase any drop cable. The actual mounting of the RAA100 is not critical and the unit can be mounted in any orientation. The RAA100, NMEA 2000® connector, and cable are all waterproof (rated IP67 – protected against temporary immersion in water) so you can mount the unit virtually anywhere. Once you have located a suitable mounting location, you can secure the RAA100 by placing wire ties with screw eyes on the attached cables near the RAA100.
