1.2 Planning the installation
This section provides information and advice for planning the installation of your
Display.
EMC Installation Guidelines
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Page 15
Chapter 1: Preparation for installation 9
Suppression Ferrites
The illustration shows typical cable suppression
ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always
use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
D6626-1
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not
supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable
near to the Raymarine unit.
Where should the Display unit be located?
Your C-Series display can either be flush-mounted or mounted using the trunnion
bracket supplied.
Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering:
• Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)
vary slightly with viewing angle and are best viewed perpendicular to the display.
The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front
panel controls. Avoid installing where excessive reflection will occur in normal use.
• Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connections to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cables.
• Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices that
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers (see EMC Guidelines).
• Magnetic compass: Mount the display at least 3ft (1m) away from a magnetic
compass.
• Cable runs: Th e d is p la y s ho ul d b e m ou nt ed as ne ar a s p os si bl e t o a D ir ec t C ur re nt
(DC) power source. All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and excessive vibration. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Environmental: The display should be protected from physical damage and
excessive vibration. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice to
mount it in a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and
salt spray. The rear of the display should be in a well ventilated space to ensure air
circulation to the rear of the unit.
EMC Conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not affected by
radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

Chapter 2: System Integration
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of system integration, you may find that your
system does not use all the protocols or contain all the instrumentation that is
described in it. However it is hoped that the information supplied will help in your
understanding of how systems can be integrated and used successfully.
2.2 What is System Integration?
System integration enables various instruments and displays to communicate with
each other and use the collected data to increase the functionality of the system.
This data exchange is only possible if the data gathering is accurate, and transfer
between instruments is fast and accurate.
Fast and accurate data transfer is achieved by using a combination of the following
data protocols:
•SeaTalk.
2
•SeaTalk
• National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)0183.
• NMEA 2000.
.
What is SeaTalk?
SeaTalk
The SeaTalk protocol enables compatible instruments to be connected by a single
cable carrying power (12 volts, 150 mA) and data in/out, without a central processor.
Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by
plugging them into the network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate with other
non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is
used.
SeaTalk
SeaTalk2 is an enhanced replacement for SeaTalk and is a proprietary extension to
NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. It enables other Raymarine SeaTalk
devices to talk to each other, whilst maintaining near transparent NMEA 2000
compatibility.
2

Page 18
12 C-Series Displays Installation Manual
What is NMEA?
NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine
Electronics Association of America. It is an international standard to enable equipment
from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information.
The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the
important difference in that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For
this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter
together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display.
This information is passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three-letter sentence
identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that
the same sentence identifiers are used:
• VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data.
• GLL - carries latitude and longitude.
• DBT - carries water depth.
• MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data.
NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed
and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single
physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable.
The standard was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine
electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via
standardized message types and formats.
2.3 Compatibility
Radar Scanners
CAUTION: Radar Scanners, Cables & Installation
Information on radar scanners, cables and their installation contained in
this handbook supersedes that contained in the Pathfinder Radar
Scanner Handbook, Document No. 81154_8, dated 12th January 2005.
To achieve full radar compatibility with your C-Series Display, your Raymarine radar
scanner may require upgrading. Please check the list below to see if this upgrade is

Raymarine.com for latest compatibility information.
(3)
Whilst an AIS receiver is not required for the radar and chart applications to
function, this receiver is necessary if AIS functionality is required within radar and
chart.
In particular, position, heading and speed data are required for the following functions:
• Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the
radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course
Up and Head Up modes.
• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use
speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same
source as position data (GPS).
• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-
lay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided
if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using
fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible
Raymarine autopilot.

Radar alignment checks
You should check the bearing and display timing alignment to ensure that an accurate
picture is shown.
Bearing alignment
Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing
relative to your boat’s bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is
displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct
bearing reading is obtained.
You can carry out a bearing alignment in two ways:
... with your boat moored
To use this method you will need a hand bearing compass:
1. Visually identify a suitable target, such as a buoy that can be seen towards the edge
of the radar screen. Typically, this will be on the 1.5nm range.
2. Determine the accurate bearing of the target relative to your boat’s bow using the
hand bearing compass. To do this subtract your boat head bearing from the target
visual bearing, these examples may help:
Example 1 Example 2
Visual bearing (a) = 065° M Visual bearing (a) = 030° M
Ships head bearing (b) = 021° M Ships head bearing (b) = 042° M
Relative bearing:
= (a) - (b)
= 065 - 021 = 044° R
Relative bearing:
= (a) - (b)
= 030 - 042 = -012
If answer is negative, add 360° =
-012 + 360 = 348° R
3. From the primary radar soft keys, press VRM/EBL.
4. Toggle the VRM/EBL soft key to ON. Adjust the EBL to your chosen target. If there is
a difference between your calculated bearing and that shown for the EBL, there is
an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment,
See “Adjusting the bearing alignment” on page 39.
... with your boat under way
1. Align your boat’s bow with the selected target.
2. Note the position of the target relative to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM) on the
radar picture. If the target is not under the SHM, there is an alignment error and you
will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. For details see below
.

This screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signal
strength bar, status, azimuth angle and its elevation angle from your vessel. The sky
view graphic shows the position of these satellites.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth
and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in
the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX.
If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on

Open the digital instrument application and ensure all relevant data is displayed. If you
are not receiving data, check cable connections.
From third party devices on NMEA 0183
Check that appropriate NMEA sentences are being sent from the third party device and
on the C-Series Display. Open the digital instrument application and ensure all relevant
data is displayed.
Running AIS
In order to run AIS, you will need:
• A receive only AIS unit or a full transponder.
A receiver will allow you to receive data about other vessels in your area but will
not allow other vessels to ‘see’ you. A full transponder transmits and receives AIS
data and therefore allows you to receive data about other vessels and for other
AIS equipped vessels to see and receive information about your vessel. This could
include position, course, speed and rate of turn data.
• A VHF antenna (part of an AIS system).
•A GPS.
• A Compass - although not essential, this will enhance performance.
When the AIS unit is connected to the C-Series display, the status of the unit is
indicated by an AIS icon in the transducer data box.
You will now need to specify the 38,400 baud rate for the NMEA port that
communicates with the AIS transceivers and receivers (see the table at the top of this
page).

to your C-Series display. This will in turn affect the short range accuracy of the radar. A
symptom of incorrect timing is that bridges or piers shown on the picture appear to be
bowed i.e.
Own ship
Timing early
Own ship
Timing late
Own ship
Normal
D6625-2
To check the display timing:
1. Use the RANGE button to select the 1/8 nm scale.
2. On the radar picture locate a straight dock, seawall or bridge that is facing your
boat. If the image is bent or bowed, the display timing will need adjustment
Under certain circumstances, it may be easier to adjust the display timing with Main
Bang Suppression (MBS) OFF.
Note:
MBS is reset to ON automatically when you finish adjusting the display timing.
