2.5 Running the Cable
Introduction
The minimum requirements are a power cable and (for the RC435 only) a
connection from the GPS Antenna. Additional cables will be required if
connecting to other equipment.
Notes: (1) All cables should be adequately cleated and protected from
physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables
through bilges, doorways or close to moving objects or heat
sources.
(2) Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck-
head, a swan neck tube should be used.
Connectors
Antenna Connector
The ANTENNA connector provides power and RF connection to the
associated GPS Antenna.
CAUTION:
Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display unit
while power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable damage.
➤ Connect the antenna using the attached cable, as follows:
1. If not already installed, mount the GPS Antenna Section 2.3.
2. Feed the cable through to the rear of the Chartplotter.
3. Coil up any unused cable in an appropriate safe space out of view. Do
not bend the cable tighter than 100mm (4in) radius.
4. Screw the cable connector fully into its mating connector on the
Chartplotter.
5. Ensure that the protective boot covers the connector.
Note: If the supplied cable is too short, use an extension cable
(Part# E36011), or consult your Raymarine dealer.
It is recommended that only a single extension cable is used as each extra
connector will reduce signal levels.
