Raynav 300 GPS Plotter

Antenna Connector

The ANTENNA connector provides power and RF connection to the associated GPS Antenna.

CAUTION:

Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display unit whilst power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable damage.

Connect the antenna using the attached cable, as follows:

1.If not already installed, mount the GPS Antenna as described in Section 5.3.

2.Feed the cable through to the rear of the Plotter.

3.Coil up any unused cable in an appropriate safe space out of view. Do not bend the cable tighter than 4in (100mm) radius.

4.Screw the cable connector fully into its mating connector on the Plot- ter.

5.Ensure that the protective boot covers the connector.

Note: If the supplied cable is too short, use an extension cable (Part# E36011), or consult your Raymarine dealer.

It is recommended that only a single extension cable is used as each extra connector will reduce signal levels.

PWR/NMEA Connector

CAUTION:

If you do not have a breaker in your power circuit, you must fit an in-line 1A quick-blow fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.

This unit is not intended for use on positive ground vessels.

The Plotter is intended for use on vessels’ DC power systems operating in the range 12VDC to 24VDC (9.0VDC to 32.0VDC maximum range). A 5ft (1.5m) power cable is supplied.

The power connections should be made at a DC power distribution panel through an isolator switch, a 1A circuit breaker or a 1A quick blow fuse. Check that all connections are clean and tight.

The DC power system should be either:

Negative ground, with the negative battery terminal connected to the vessel’s ground.

Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the vessel’s ground.
