Important Information7
EMC Conformance
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the recreational marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. 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.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance,
but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all
situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the
constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation
possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
At least 3 ft. (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio
signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the
distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m).
More than 7 ft. (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
Ensure that the equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for
engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause
the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the
loss of some information and may change the operating mode.
Ensure that Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these
cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is
detailed in the installation manual.
Suppression Ferrites
If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If
the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the
same position. If a ferrite is packed separately in the carton, it must be installed as
soon as the cables are run.
8A60 Installation Manual
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites sometimes
used with Raymarine equipment. To ensure EMC compliance, always use these
ferrites, if supplied by Raymarine for use with this equipment. If not supplied by
Raymarine, a ferrite is not required for use with this equipment.
D3548-3
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, the suppression ferrite (if supplied) MUST always be
attached to the cable nearest the Raymarine unit.
Declaration of Conformity
Raymarine plc declare that the A60 Dual Function Displays are in compliance with
the essential requirements of EMC directive 2004/108/EC. The original
Declaration of Conformity certificate can be viewed on the relevant product page
at www.raymarine.com.

Power Supply
The A60 is intended for use on boat’s DC power systems rated from 10.7 to
18 VDC. The power connection to the unit should be made at either the output of
the battery isolator switch or at a DC power distribution panel. Power should be
fed directly to the A60 via its own dedicated cable system and protected by a
thermal circuit breaker or fuse on the red (positive) wire that is installed close to
the power connection.
CAUTION: Dedicated Power Connection
The A60 also supplies power for the GPS and sounder units (if so
equipped). To minimize succeptibility to display flickering due to
power fluctuations, provide the display unit with its own
dedicated connection to boat’s power.
The RED wire must be connected to the feed from the positive (+) battery terminal
and the BLACK wire to the feed from the negative (–) battery terminal. The shield
wire (drain) should be connected to the boat’s RF ground.
CAUTION: Fuse Protection
Install a fast blow 4 amp fuse on the red (positive) wire.
If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to
the display unit. Then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the
extension cable, taking particular care to ensure the correct polarity.
18A60 Installation Manual
Use commonly practiced methods to determine proper wire gauge based on wire
length, current, and wire tables. You may also trim the power cable supplied with
the A60 to reduce overall wire length. Only use enough wire to connect the unit to
the power source, including a service loop.
Note:
When the A60 has been powered off using the PWR key but is still electrically con-
nected to the power supply, the GPS continues to draw current.
The supplied power cable has a cross section of 10 mm.
CAUTION: Correct Polarity
If the power connections are accidentally reversed the system
will not work. Use a multimeter to ensure that the input power
leads are connected for correct polarity.
NMEA Cable (R08004)
The 5-pin, 1.5m (5 ft) NMEA input cable is supplied with exposed wire connecting
tails. These should be connected to your existing NMEA instruments using
suitable connector blocks as follows:

Chapter 3: Installing the GPS Antenna
The RS12 package contains the following items:
1. Low profile GPS Receiver, with 10 m (33 ft) cable
2. Flush mount gasket
3. Mounting studs (x2) and thumb nuts (x2)
4. Pole mount kit *
Note:
* If you intend to mount the receiver on a pole, you will need to obtain a suitable
pole with 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
3.1Selecting the Mounting Location
The RS12 can be mounted on a pole or flush mounted on a suitable horizontal
surface.
Receiver Location
The RS12 receiver is designed to receive the signals emitted from satellites in a
direct path. It should be mounted:
• On a horizontal surface.
• In a location that is open and clear of any obstructions (such as masts, search
lights, or other structures) that could block line-of-sight reception of signals.
• As low as possible: the height of the receiver is not as important as it 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 unit, the more effectively it will track satellites low to the horizon.
Note:
Do NOT mount the receiver up a mast, as the receiver will swing with the boat,
leading to significant COG/SOG errors.
• As far as possible from any sources of interference: the receiver should be separated by at least 1 m (3 ft) from other antennas and electronic equipment. It
should not be mounted in the direct path of a radar’s beam.
When mounting the receiver flush to a surface:
• select an area that allows access to the underside of the mounting surface
• avoid areas where the receiver might be stepped on or tripped over
19
20A60 Installation Manual
Cabling Route
When planning the location for the unit, consider the best route for running the
cable between the receiver and GPS display unit or to the rest of an integrated
system. Ideally, you should try to route the cable so it is:
• hidden from view
• separated as far as possible from other cables (to prevent interference)
When running cable, always observe the following guidelines:
• if a cable has to be fed through the deck, use a good quality deck grommet
• where cables are fed through holes, use grommets to prevent chafing
• secure long cable runs so they do not present a hazard
• wherever possible, route cables away from fluorescent lights, engines and
radio transmitting equipment, as these may cause interference
3.2Mounting the Receiver
When you have selected a suitable location, follow the installation instructions
for
Pole Mounting
Pole Mounting
Note:
You will need to obtain a suitable pole with 1 inch 14 TPI thread.
1. Securely attach the pole mount base to a suitable pole or rail mount bracket.
2. Pass the cable through either:
A: the center hole of the pole mount base, or
B: the side exit channel
Note:
If you intend to use the side exit channel, remove the two plastic tabs obstructing
