emc compliance
B&G equipment is designed to be operated in leisure craft. Every care has been taken in its design and testing to ensure compliance with the European EMC Directive, provided it is installed and operated in accordance with the instructions as supplied, and the units and cables used are unmodified. Specific attention is drawn to the requirements to maintain cable separation, where stated.
Transmissions from poorly installed or maintained Single Sideband equipment may adversely affect the functioning of this equipment. On vessels fitted with SSB, it is essential that such equipment is installed following good installation practice and as recommended by the manufacturer.
general wiring notes
ξ Do not apply power to the pilot system until all units are connected and the wiring has been checked.
ξ Where spade connectors are supplied, always use the correct crimping tool to attach them to the cable. This is extremely important where high currents are to be passed; i.e. rudder drive unit supply cables.
ξ Keep supply cables as short as possible to reduce the possibility of a voltage drop in the cables.
ξ Always fit a fuse or circuit breaker in supply cables. It is recommended that
ξ Clearly identify each cable to prevent incorrect connection.
ξ Cables that have a screening braid must have the screen connected as shown on the connection diagrams.
ξ All Pilot cables should be routed at least 1m (3ft) from cables or components that carry or generate high currents; e.g. alternators, starter motors,
ξ To minimise interference avoid routing Pilot cables alongside high power radio or radar cables.
ξ To prevent damage to cabling always secure in position using cable clips or
ξ Do not allow cables to rest in the bilges where prolonged immersion in water, fuel, etc. may occur.
ξ Always fit splash covers and lids on processors, computer units and junctions boxes, where supplied.
