Servicing and safety
•Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised Raymarine service technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance. There are no
•Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/ connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
•When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a consequent adverse affect on operation. In order to minimise these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
•Always report any
•In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
•Always switch off the power to Raymarine equipment before working on it.
When requesting service, please quote equipment Type, Model Number, Serial Number and, if possible, Software Release Issue. The Software Release Issue can be ascertained by means of the Intermediate Calibration facility, see Chapter 4, Calibration.
