The technical and graphical information contained in this handbook, to the best of our
knowledge, was correct as it went to press. However, the Raytheon policy of continuous
improvement and updating may change product specifications without prior notice. Therefore,
unavoidable differences between the product and handbook may occur from time to time, for
which liability cannot be accepted by Raytheon.

EMC Installation
& Service Guidelines
IMPORTANT NOTE
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 Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) Regulations, but good 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.
Installation
To avoid the risk of operating problems, all Raytheon equipment and
cables connected to it should be;
• At least 1m (3 ft) 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 2m (7ft).
• More than 2m (7ft) 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 should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10v in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will not
damage the equipment, but will 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.
RAYSTAR 112 Installation and Operation Handbook
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
• 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.
• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the
cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raytheon
dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality
standards.
Please keep these notes for future reference.

Chapter1: Introduction
1.1 General Information
Congratulations on your purchase of Raytheon’s Raystar 112 GPS
sensor unit. We think you will appreciate the accuracy of GPS, the
quality, long-term reliability, and additional space saving convenience of
having GPS navigation data available at your navigation console from
your new Raystar 112.
Built into the environmentally rugged, compact housing is our newest
12 channel GPS receiver/processor combined with the ADP antenna.
The position output data from the Raystar 112 can be displayed on
radars, plotters, fishfinders, lorans, and other navigation equipment
capable of accepting NMEA 0183 formatted data.

1.2 Basic GPS Information
GPS is a satellite-based radionavigation system developed and
operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). GPS permits land,
sea and airborne users to determine their three-dimensional position,
velocity, and time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world
with a precision and accuracy far better than other radionavigation
systems available today or in the forseeable future.
GPS consists of three segments: space, control and user.
The Space Segment, consists of 24 operational satellites in six circular
orbits 20,200 km (10,900 nm) above the earth at an inclination angle of
55 degrees with a 12 hour period. The satellites are spaced in orbit so
