Planning
Before you install your display, plan the installation considering:
• Power requirements
• Cable runs
• Display location and mounting options.
• Optional Audio/Video Junction Box location
• Additional ancillary parts e.g. keyboard or extra speakers.
Power Requirements
This display is designed to run on ships’ DC power systems rated at 12 V or 24 V.
A 2.5m length cable is supplied for connecting the display to the ship’sDC power
system. The DC system should be either:
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the ship’s
ground.
• Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the ship’s ground.
CAUTION:
This display is not intended for use on “positive” ground vessels.
The power input cable Earth screen connections must be connected directly
to the ship’s ground.
Grounding the display
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the display. You must
ground the display by connecting the drain wire (screen) of the power input cable
to the nearest ground point of the ship’s RF ground system.
Power Connections
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the
battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine
recommends that power is fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable
systemandMUST be protected bya thermalcircuit breakerorfuse, fittedcloseto
the power connection. Refer to the table below for isolator switch, circuit breaker
or fuse value ratings. Check all terminal connections are clean.

Extending the Power Cable
Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage
drop in the cable. Ensure that the minimum voltage specification of the display is
met at the junction of these cables when the display is operating at full brightness.
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; take particular care to ensure correct polarity and grounding of
the screening braid to the ship’s RF ground.
Cable Runs
You need to attach the cables shown in the illustration Connections - Typical
Installations on page 14. Consider the following before installing the display:
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and
protected from exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or door-
ways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Acute bends must be avoided.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight
feed-through should be used.
• Securecablesinplaceusingtie-wrapsorlacingtwine.Coilanyextracableand
tie it out of the way.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the cable through the bulkheads using a cord attached to the
connector. This could damage the connections.
Audio/Video Junction Box (optional accessory E85003)
Composite video or S-video inputs must be connected via the optional audio/
video junction box; the junction box can also be used for audio input only.
The audio input cable between the junction box and PC is 1m in length and must
not be extended, so the audio/video junction box should be mounted adjacent to
your PC. Connection details are provided with the audio/video junction box.
Display Location and Mounting Options
The display can be console mounted using the flush-mounting kit supplied.
Alternatively, a bracket mount option (E05011) is available. The following
section provides the display dimensions and console mounting instructions.
Raymarine recommend that you power the unit and select a suitable mounting
location prior to installing the display. When planning the display location, the
following should be considered to ensure safe, comfortable and reliable
operation:
• Convenience: The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow
operation ofthefrontpanelcontrolsandshouldenableeasyviewingofthedis-
play.

M1500 Marine Monitor
• Viewing angle: This LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance,
including viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD
displays vary slightly with viewing angle.
• Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable con-
nections to the rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.
• Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices
that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitter/
receivers (see the EMC guidelines in this section).
• Magnetic compass: Mount the display unit at least 3 ft (1m) away from a
magnetic compass.
• Environment: To prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear
ofthedisplayunit;ensurethereisadequateventilation, particularlyifthe
display unit is pod-mounted.
Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty.
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibra-
tion. 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.
Do not place the display near to heat sources.
Note: The display includes Active Thermal Management, in the unlikely event

ceptable temperature.
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
performanceisnotcompromised. Althougheveryefforthasbeentakentoensurethatthey
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:
•
Atleast3ft(1m)fromanyequipmenttransmittingorcablescarryingradiosignals
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.

•
Theequipmentissuppliedfromaseparatebatteryfromthatusedforenginestart. Volt-
age 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 compro-
mise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the instal-
lation 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
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine
equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
D3548-3
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.

Maintenance and Problem Solving
WARNING:
The display unit contains high voltage. Adjustments require specialized
service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians -
there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments and the operator should
not attempt to service the equipment. The operator should not remove the
aluminium front panel of the display.
Switch off the display unit before removing the power cord.
Routine Checks
The display is a sealed unit. Maintenance procedures are therefore limited to the
following periodic checks:
• Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
• Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached.
Cleaning the Display
CAUTION:
Take care when cleaning the display. Do not wipe the display screen with a
dry cloth - this could scratch the screen coating.
Do not use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.
1. Ensure the display is disconnected from power. Wipe the display with a clean,
damp cloth.
2. If necessary, use IPA (iso-propyl alcohol) or a mild detergent solution to
remove grease marks.
EMC Servicing and Safety Guidelines
•
Raymarine equipment should be serviced onlyby authorized Raymarine service tech-
nicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not
affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
•
•
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connectors when
power is being supplied to the equipment.
When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These
can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another, with a
consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimise these effects and enable
you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines
are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction
between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compat-
ibility (EMC).
•
•
Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use
such information to improve our quality standards.
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 it
can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.

mission by Raymarine certified installers, can be shown.
The Installed Warranty provides for onboard repair or exchange, by Raymarine or it’s approved service
