IMPORTANT NOTICE

This device is only an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be

affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects,

environmental conditions and improper handling or use.

It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common prudence and

navigational judgement, and this device should not be relied upon

as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.

1. EMC Installation & Service Guidelines

All Raytheon equipment and accessories are designed to the best

industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.

Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct

installation is essential to maintain EMC performance and CE

compliance. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they

will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what

factors could affect the operation of the product.

Installation

All Raytheon equipment and cables connected to it should be;

• At least 1m (3ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying

radio signals eg. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of

SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m (7ft).

• More than 2m (7ft) from the path of a radar beam.

• The equipment should be supplied from a different battery than the

one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10.7V in the power

supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will

not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some

information and can change the operating mode.

• Genuine Raytheon cables should be used at all times. Cutting and

rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so

should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation

manual.

Check Before Going to Sea

• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it

is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

• 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 can lead to it resetting, or

momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Servicing and Safety

• This product contains no user servicable parts.

• Raytheon equipment should be serviced only by authorised

Raytheon service engineers. They will ensure that service

procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance.

There are no user serviceable parts in any Raytheon product.

• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raytheon

dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality

standards.

4. Raystar 114 Installation

The Raystar 114 is designed to receive the signals emitted from the

satellites in a direct path. Ideally, the unit should be mounted upright in

a location that is open and clear of any masts, search lights, or other

structures that could block the line-of-sight reception of the antenna

unit. The height of the receiver is not as important as the receiver having

a clear view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception. In fact,

the lower the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the

better. The more stable the internal GPS antenna, the easier it is to track

satellites lower to the horizon.

Installation of the Raystar 114 should only be undertaken by a

competent installer.

D1340-2

The unit should be separated by at least 7ft (2m) from other

communication antennas and should not be mounted in the direct path

of a Radar’s antenna beam.

While planning the location for the unit, consider finding a convenient

pathway for running the interconnecting cable which will connect the

receiver to the GPS display unit or to the rest of an integrated system.

Installation Guide 7

Ideally the cable should be run in a manner so that it can be hidden from

view and, if possible, be in a direct path to the point of connection. It is

important to keep the cable separated from other shipboard cables as

much as possible to prevent interference pick-up.

CAUTION

Care should be taken that the unit is sited to avoid personal injury

caused by falling on the aerial.

Note: Mounting on the mast of a sailboat is not recommended.

Grounding the System

For optimum operation the unit should be connected to the ship’s

ground system. You can ground the unit using one of the following

three methods:

1. A 24 AWG wire can be connected via the screw connection found

in the base of the unit, as shown in the following illustration. A

suitable wire with eyelet is attached to the unit. If this length is

insufficient, use similar wire and connect with the additional eyelet

and screw provided.

Grounding

2. The cable screen can be connected to ground.

Note: This will require the insulation to be cut back to obtain

access to the screen.

3. A conducting pole mount, which is connected to ground, can be

screwed into the base of the unit.
