Important information
Introduction
D9060_1
This guide contains an explanation of how to install, commission and main­tain your Raymarine SR100 Sirius Weather System for use with your E­Series display.
Intended use
This product is a weather information system consisting of a receiver and antenna. The intended application is as one component of a navigation system for leisure marine boats and workboats not covered by IMO/SOLAS carriage requirements.
Safety notices
WARNING: Electrical safety Make sure the power supply is switched off before you make any electrical connections.
WARNING: Product installation This equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this handbook. Failure to do so could result in poor product performance, personal injury and/or damage to your boat.
WARNING: Navigation aid Although this product has been designed to be accurate and reliable, many factors can affect its performance. As a result, it should only be used as an aid to navigation and should never replace common sense and navigational judgement. Always maintain a permanent watch so you can respond to situations as they develop.

EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to 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 made 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. (1m) from any equipment transmitting, or cables carrying radio signals, e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of Single Side Band (SSB) radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2m).
• More than 7 ft. (2m) 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 to 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.
Suppression Ferrites

by Raymarine
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

DO NOT place near an engine, or where fuel vapor could be present.
DO NOT get it wet or put it where it can be splashed with water.
DO NOT put it where it can be kicked or trodden on.

Antenna
Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky. Height is not important. Make sure nearby objects do not block the antenna’s view of the sky.
Make sure that the antenna is installed on a flat not curved surface.
If your boat has radar, make sure that the antenna is mounted above or below the radar scanner, but not in the radar beam.
DO NOT install the antenna where it can be kicked or trodden

on.
You should also choose the installation site so that the power cable can be easily removed.
You should also make sure that the installation site has easy access from below in an area which is clear of cables and other obstructions.

Cable runs
CAUTION: Cables DO NOT cut cables or remove connectors as this will severely reduce system performance. If a longer cable is required you will need to purchase a replacement cable from a suitable dealer. If a shorter cable is required, coil excess cable neatly and secure out of the way.
Consider the following points before installing the system cables:
• You will need to connect the antenna, ethernet and power cables to the receiver.
• All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat.
• Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Acute bends must be avoided.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
• DO NOT cut the cables or remove the connectors.
• DO NOT pull cables through bulkheads using a cord attached to the connector. This could damage the connector.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and secure it out of the way.
You will need to run the following cables:
• Power cable.
•SeaTalk
• Antenna cable.

network cable.
Power cable
A 10 ft. (3m) power cable is supplied. This cable has a connector plug for connecting to the SR100 weather receiver at one end and three wires at the other for connecting to your boats power supply. This cable may be extended to a distance of 60 ft. (20m) using a suitable wire, gauge AWG 12 or greater. For full details of power connections refer to “Power cable” on page 10.
SeaTalkhs Network cable
A 4.9 ft. (1.5m) network cable is supplied. This cable should be used to connect your weather receiver to either a SeaTalkhs Network Switch or cross over coupler to connect to your E-Series display. If a longer cable is required it should be purchased from your local Raymarine dealer. For full details of available cable lengths refer to “SeaTalkhs” on page 11.
Antenna cable
CAUTION: Antenna cable Cutting or splicing the antenna cable will result in severely reduced system performance.
