SAFETY NOTICES
WARNING: NAVIGATION AID
This device is intended to be used as an aid to navigation. Its
accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment
failure or defects, environmental conditions and incorrect
handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to exercise common
prudence and navigational judgement. This device should not be
relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.
CAUTION:
Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display
unit whilst power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable
damage.
WAAS Satellite Differential GPS
WAASprovidesdifferentialaugmentationtoGPS. Itwasdesignedto
enhance the basic GPS service to satisfy the aviation industry’s
navigation requirement for instrument flight rule navigation and
landing, IFR and approach landings. WAAS has been in near
continuous broadcast since December 1999 and is also available for
other GPS applications such as marine navigation, surveying,
agriculture and automotive systems.
WAAS consists of a network of ground reference stations across the
United States that monitor GPS satellite data. The master stations
collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction
message, taking into account selective availability (SA), GPS
satellite orbit and clock drift, and signal delays caused by the
atmosphere and ionosphere. The ‘corrected’ differential messages
are then broadcast through two Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)
satellites on the same frequency as the GPS signal. The Raymarine
Raynav 300 and 301GPS receiver utilizes one of its 12 channels to
‘listen’ and decode the corrected WAAS messages. The result is a
DGPS system that provides improved accuracy (<3 meters) in
comparison with standard GPS (100 meters with SA, 15 m without
SA) and land based DGPS (10 meters) systems.
The WAAS system is shown diagrammatically in Figure i.

Availability of the WAAS System in North America
The WAAS system is presently broadcasting and being tested for
aviation use. It is expected to be certified by the FAA in 2002. During
this testing and certification period, continuous service is expected;
however, briefsignaloutagesmayoccurasrefinementsandupgrades
are made to the system. The status of WAAS and planned outages are
available on-line at the following websites:
http://wwws.raytheontands.com/waas
or http://www.raymarine.com
Your unit is shipped from the factory in normal GPS mode. For
improved accuracy provided by the WAAS system, you need to
enable the WAAS capability of your unit.
➤
To enable WAAS:
1. Press the MENU key
2. Press GPS SETUP soft key
3. Press FIX MODE soft key to select SD mode.
Extended Offshore Coverage
Using two GEO satellites, WAAS provides augmented differential
GPS coverage for most of North America. Since the WAAS
differential messages are broadcast by GEO satellites, the WAAS
signals cover a greater area both inland and offshore in comparison
with land based DGPS systems. Coverage for North America is
shown in Figure ii.

Those modes containing more than one page of data provide additional
soft keys giving access to the sub-sets of data within each group, each
cycled through with the associated soft key.
1.3 The Plotter Display
When a position fix has been established, your vessel’s position, if on
screen, is shown as a boat shape, pointing in the direction of the current
heading (or COG if heading data is not available). If no heading or COG
data is available, the vessel is shown as a circle.
A status bar at the top of the screen displays the scale, with either cursor
position, range and bearing or, when the cursor is homed (locked) to the
vessel (by pressing FIND SHIP), vessel position, Speed Over Ground
(SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG).
Note: When the cursor is homed, it is ‘locked’ to the vessel and moves
with it. The screen is automatically panned to keep the vessel and cursor
in such a position that they are 10% from the edge of the window with the
heading vector (be it shown ornot) passing through the center of the win-
dow.
The current route is shown and any waypoints you have placed are
displayed (unless you set them to off in Set Up). Information can be
viewed on-screen by positioning the cursor over a waypoint, current
route or track.
Functions are available to control the display as follows:

will need to use the set up options to switch the display unit to Simulator
mode, see Section 2.2, Power On/Off. You can use it in either of two
ways:
•
Before the plotter has been installed on your vessel. In this case, you
only need to connect the plotter display unit to a 12V DC power sup-
ply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power lead to posi-
tive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Cable Running on page

2.4 Plotter Display Control Functions
You will normally operate the GPS Plotter with the display showing one
of the Navigation Data pages.
The range of pages is listed in Selecting the Display Mode on page 2-4
and illustrated in Figure 2-5. The complete range of pages is described
fully in Data Display Pages on page 3-2.
Moving Around the Plotter Screen
When using theplotter screen, the default orientationisNorth-Up, where
the vessel moves across the screen. You will need to pan the display if
your vessel moves out of the current area, or if you wish to examine or
place waypoints in another area. Alternatively, you can home the cursor
onto the vessel using FIND SHIP.
There are four ways in which you can move around the display:
•
•
Use the trackpad to pan the display.
Automatically home (re-center) the vessel using the FIND SHIP soft
key.
•
•
Use the context-sensitive cursor to change the display center.
Change the display scale tozoom out andintoa new area centeredon
the cursorposition. Thismethod isuseful ifthe area youwishto see is
a long distance away.
Panning the Display
Panning the display is useful if the area you wish to see isonly just off the
screen.
➤ Usethe trackpadtomovethe cursor tothe edgeofthedisplay; thedisplay
will pan across.
Using FIND SHIP
FIND SHIP is used to center the vessel on the screen, even if it is currently
off screen:
➤ Press the FIND SHIP soft key; the following actions occur:
•
•
The display is re-drawn with the vessel’s position in the center.
The cursor is homed (locked) to the vessel’s position and moves with
it.
•
•
When the vessel moves near the edge of the screen, the display is
redrawn to place the vessel and cursor at the center.
Whilst homed, the status bar indicates vessel position, speed and
course over ground.

Chapter 2: Getting Started
➤ To release the cursor from homed mode, use the trackpad to move the
2-7
cursor away from the vessel’s current position. The status bar shows the
current cursor position, bearing and range. The cursor no longer moves
with the vessel and no redraw occurs if the vessel moves off screen.
Changing the Display Center
You can move the area of the display center using the context-sensitive
cursor. Thisallowsyoutocenteryourvesselinthecenterofthe screen, or
to move the display so that your vessel is displayed off-center anywhere
on the screen.
➤ To move your vessel’s position off-center:
1. Move the cursor over your vessel’s position until the letters POS are
displayed.
2. Press ENTER to take control of the vessel’s position. The letters POS
are now in inverse video and the cursor symbol has changed to a
four-wayarrow. Thisindicatesthatthecursorcanbeusedtomovethe
display in any direction.
3. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the required position.
4. Press ENTER to select the position and return to normal cursor con-
trol. The display is redrawn with the vessel’s position at the cursor.
Alternatively, you can press CLEAR to abandon the move and leave
the display (and vessel) in its former position.
➤ To center the display:
1. Use the trackpad to move the cursor to the vessel’s position. The cur-
sor text POS is displayed.
2. Press CLEAR. The display pans to show your vessel’s position is in
the center of the screen.
Changing the Display Scale
The RANGE key allows you to change the display scale so that you can
see a smaller or larger area on the screen.
You can change the display scale:
•
To see either a larger scale (of a smaller area) or a larger area (at a
smaller scale) on the screen.
•
To move the display to another area, by zooming out to a smaller
scale, then zooming in on another position centered on the cursor.
EachtimeyoupresstheRANGEkey,thedisplayscalechangestothenext
available setting. The status bar, shown in Figure 2-6, indicates the
distance from top to bottom of the screen, in nautical miles.

set on or off:
•
•
•
Cursor Box (CRSR BOX)
Grid (GRID)
Personalized (CUSTOM)
The factory default for these options is ON.

particular area, use the trackpad to pantothat area, then switchsimulator
ON.
A data box indicating SIMULATOR ON is displayed in the center of the
screen(thismayobscurethecursor;ifnecessaryusethetrackpadtomove
the cursor into view). You can use the context-sensitive cursor to move
this box
Note: If you use FIND SHIP when in Simulator mode, the Status Bar at the
top of the screen shows SIM FIX. If real position data is available (via
GPS) and the simulator is active, simulated data takes precedence.
On power-up the simulator defaults to its previous setting at last pow-
er-down. Care should be takento determine desired mode onpower-up.
Simulated data should never be used for navigational purposes.
Anywaypoints placedonthe plotter insimulatormodeare retainedinthe

The modes that contain more than one page of data provide additional
soft keys which cycle through the pages. The highlighted soft key
indicates the screen mode currently displayed.
Note: Press the DISPLAY key for at least two seconds in any display
mode to return to the GPS/Waypoint display.
Data Display Pages
In all graphical display pages, the steering instruction is STEER
STARBOARD ifthe XTE is 0.01nm ormore to port, STEER PORT if the XTE
is 0.01nm or more to starboard or ON COURSE if XTE is less than 0.01 on
either side.
If no Goto or follow is in progress, the steering instruction is NOT
FOLLOWING and no steering arrows are shown.
The arrows either side of the steering instruction and pointing towards it
are dependent on the XTE. The first arrow is shown when the difference
reaches 0.01nm and the second at 0.05nm.
Textual data provides Position, SOG, COG, Bearing and Range to
waypoint, Time and Date, Time To Go (TTG), Steering Indicator,
Sunrise, Sunset, Fix StatusandXTE. Any unavailable data is replaced by
dashes,onepercharacter.WhenthereisnoGPSfixbutthereisavaluefor
the last fix, this is shown instead.
FOLLOWING is shown. If Goto cursor is in progress, GOTO CURSOR is
shown.
The FIX status indicates D-FIX for a differential fix, SD-FIX for a satellite
differential fix, FIX for a GPS or other Fix, or NO FIX where a fix has not
been acquired. If the simulator is ON, the word SIMULATOR appears after
the fix status.
BRG, RNG and XTE data relate to the target waypoint.
Timerefersto localtimezonewhichis setin theSystemSetUpmenu,see
Chapter 4.
The Time To Go (TTG) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data relate
to the target waypoint (not the whole route) and are based on the Speed
Over Ground (SOG) towards the target. If the Velocity Made Good
(VMG) is negative, or data is not available, these fields are replaced by
dashes, one per character.
Sunrise and Sunset times are for today and at the vessel’s position.

3.3 Working with Waypoints
Introduction
You can place up to 998 waypoints on the GPS Plotter.
A waypoint is a position entered on the display as a reference or
destinationpoint. AllwaypointsplacedontheGPS Plotterarestoredina
waypoint database list which includes symbol, position, bearing, range
and additional data. All waypoints in the database are displayed on the
plotter screen, unless you set waypoint display off in the Set Up menu, as
described in Plotter Set Up Parameters on page 4-8. You can select a
waypoint, either graphically or from the Waypoint List, for editing.
The waypoint can be placed either at the current cursor position or
entered manually aseither Lat/Long coordinatesor LoranTDs which are
automatically converted to Lat/Long coordinates. A waypoint placed at
the vessel’s position includes additional information (if available)
providing depth, temperature and time when it was placed. Any type of
waypoint can be included in a route.
Note: You can place waypoints before you install the GPS Plotter on
your vessel.
When a new waypoint is placed, it uses either the factory default symbol
(a cross) or an alternative symbol available from the Set Up menu, see
Plotter Set Up Parameters on page 4-8. The waypoint is added to the
Waypoint List and tagged with the next available number. The
waypoint’s symbol and name can be edited at any time. When the cursor
is positioned over a waypoint, the waypoint bearing and range are
displayed in a pop-up box.
WaypointsinthecurrentrouteareavailableonotherSeaTalkinstruments
that support current route transfer, for example, an ST80 Masterview.
You can also transfer waypoints between the GPS Plotter and other
NMEA or SeaTalk instruments using the Waypoint Transfer functions.

other instruments. You can also use the Waypoint Transfer functions to
transfer the route database to a repeater display, see Transferring
Waypoints and Routes on page 3-37.
When you have created a route you can use the GOTO soft keys to follow
the route. In addition, the GOTO default soft key provides various options
as described in Section 3.5.
Up to 20 routes can be saved in the route database. You can then select a
route fromthedatabaselist asthecurrent route, seeRetrieveaRoutefrom
the Database on page 3-29.
The current route can be edited by adding and moving waypoints. The
current route is always placed at the top of the database list and named
CURRENT ROUTE, so you can edit the current route without affecting the
original route in the database. When a route has been saved, options are
provided to name or erase a route and to display route details.
Route information can be used to review your passage plan by adjusting
the planned Speed Over Ground (SOG).
Note: On an integrated system, it is possible for the current route to be
overwritten by a route from another unit; it is advisable, therefore, to
save all routes.
This section explains how to perform the following tasks:
•

•
•
Creating a new route.
Saving the current route in the database list.
Clearing the current route.
Retrieving a route from the database list as the current route.

(defined by an imaginary circle around the waypoint).
➤ To cancel the Arrival alarm and go towards the next waypoint in the
route, either:
•
Press any key
or...
Wait for 10 seconds.
•
If another leg exists, the target becomes the origin, the next waypoint
becomes the target point and the two are connected by a dotted line
indicating the current leg. This does not occur for a single point Goto.
Any previous route leg is removed from the screen, but waypoints
remain.
Note: When following a route using a SeaTalk autopilot, the autopilot
will not turn to the new waypoint until it is accepted at the autopilot con-
trol unit.
3.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints
In an integrated system, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk
equipment it is sent to all other SeaTalk equipment. This route will
override any other current route. WhenGOTO waypoint or GOTO cursor is
in operation it is considered a route.
The current route can be edited on any equipment with route edit
capability.
Note: Waypoints transferred as part of a route are not automatically
savedbythe unit;howeveryoucansavetheroute locally, thusaddingthe
waypoints to the local Waypoint List.
Transferring Database Lists
Database lists can be transferred between units by various means. The
method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk or
NMEA) and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the
complete Waypoint and Route List:

When this option is selected, any waypoints received on SeaTalk or
NMEA are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the Waypoint
List. Routes received on NMEA are appended to the Route List.You
can use this function to add waypoints from a PC connected via
NMEA.
•
You can send the Waypoint and Route Lists from the display unit to
other instruments via NMEA using the SEND WPT LIST function.

retained following a POWER OFF/ON. You specify the interval at which
trackpointsare createdand alineisdrawnon-screenbetweeneachpoint.
The current track remains on-screen until you clear the track.
Breaks in the track will be caused when any of the following occur for
longer than the specified interval: the track is switched off then on; the
GPS fix is lost; the plotter is switched off.
Using the SmartRoute function, a track (or the last segment of a track
with breaks) can be converted to and saved as a route which is
automatically reversed, ready for use as your return voyage, see
SmartRoute on page 3-41.
A total of 4500 track points can be saved, in up to five track files (each
containing a maximum of 750 points).
TheCurrentTrackcanbesaved,namedandretrievedfordisplayatalater
date. For example, you may wish to display a previous track and place
waypoints along it that you can follow. You can only display one track at
a time; you must clear a current track from the screen if you want to
display a saved track.
This section describes how to:
•
•
•
Set up a track and specify the Track Point interval.
Clear the Current Track.
Manage tracks using the Track List, including Saving, Naming, Eras-
ing and Showing a track.
•
Convert the current track to a route.
Setting Up a Track
The track soft keys are used to switch the Track on and to specify the
interval at which track points are placed. The time interval between track
points can be set to 1s, 5s, 10s, 30s, 1min, 3min, 5min, 10min or
30minutes. The distance spacing between track points can be set to
0.1nm, 0.5nm or 1.0nm. The maximum track length is 750 points per
track. When this limit is reached, track points continue to be placed, but
the oldest points start to be overwritten. Track points continue to be
placed until TRACK OFF is selected. When the unit is powered off, the
current track (thus far) is retained in memory.
Setting a short time interval between track points is best suited to
navigation within a close or complex environment, eg. an estuary or
marina whereas, in contrast, a greater distance interval is best suited to a
long haul voyage.

Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter
4.1 Introduction
When you have installed your system and are familiar with its basic
operation, you may wish to set it up to operate according to your
requirements and display information according to your preferences.
This is achieved using the Set Up controls which are displayed when you
When you have set your preferences, they are retained until you reset
them; they are retained even when the unit is powered off.
This chapter provides instructions for displaying and changing the
factory default values to your preferences.
The set up parameters are divided into four sections:
•
•
System, controlling overall functionality.
Plotter, controlling the plotting functions, including waypoint infor-
mation and vectors.
•
•
GPS, displaying the GPS Navigation Status, selecting the GPS Fix
Mode or setting up a Differential GPS (DGPS).
The following sections list the parameters, their possible settings and
describe the function of each parameter in turn.

The mode of the bearing data displayed for the cursor readout. The
bearing information can be displayed in either of two forms:
•
•
Relative: The bearing relative to your vessel’s heading.
Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees
true. This option is only available if you have heading data from a
compass.

performed for 10 seconds.
Key Beep
This option controls whether or not the keys sound when pressed.
Note: The alarms continue to sound.
MOB Data
This option controls whether MOB data is based on GPS data, or on dead
reckoning (DR). Dead reckoning normally provides a better indication of
the course to an object in the water, on the assumption that your vessel
and the object are both subject to the same tide and wind effects.
Menu Timeout Period
With no time-out set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed until
you clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropriate dedicated
key.
Units
You can set the units for speed, depth and temperature. The units set will
be used to display all data, including information received from other
instruments on the system. However, the distance units do not affect the
instrumented range of the display, which is always in nautical miles.
Variation Source
The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic
direction data forheading orbearing values. The Variation Source option
provides soft keys for selecting Auto or Manual variation mode, displays
the current variation value for each and highlights the currently selected
mode.

Raynav 300 GPS Plotter
Auto Mode
If Auto mode is selected, the value of variation is obtained automatically,
normally from received data. The variation value that is used depends on
the data available, and is selected in the following order of priority:
1. Variation value from the same source as the heading data:
If heading data is being taken from NMEA, then variation is also
taken from NMEA.
If heading is taken from SeaTalk, then SeaTalk variation is used.
2. Variation value from a different source:
If heading data is being taken from NMEA, but no NMEA variation
is available, then variation is taken from SeaTalk.
If heading is taken from SeaTalk, but no SeaTalk variation is avail-
able, then variation is taken from NMEA.
3. A calculated variation value, using position data, if no SeaTalk or
NMEA value is available.
4. The current manual variation value, if no SeaTalk or NMEA value
and no position data is available.
Manual Mode
IfMANUAL mode is selected, bypressingeither of the MANUAL soft keys,
the local variation value can be specified according to the area in which
you are operating. Press the appropriate MANUAL soft key to adjust the
variation up or down, to a maximum of 30° East or West.
This value is then transmitted to any other SeaTalk instruments on your
system. It is retained if you turn the display off and on again.
In Manual mode, incoming NMEA variation is ignored. However, if the
variation is changed on another SeaTalk instrument, the new value is
used and the manual value that is displayed is updated.
Note: The Manual variation value defaults to 0°, so it is important to set
up a value if variation is not available from an external source.
NMEA OUT Set Up
Each NMEA sentence can be set to either OFF or ON individually. The
factory default is ON for each sentence.
Cursor Echo
You can set up your system so that radars, plotters and chartplotters
connected via SeaTalk can display each other’s cursors.

Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys.
The following options can be toggled ON or OFF:
•
•
•
Radar Cursor In: displays the cursor from another radar on the plot-
ter display or chart window (default - OFF).
Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another plotter or chart-
plotter (default - OFF).
SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the dis-
play’s own cursor (default - OFF).
Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled.
If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.
Date and Time Settings
Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY) and time
format (12 or 24 hour). If you wish to display local time, use the soft keys
to change from UTC to the required time offset. This can be up to 13
hours, in hourly steps.
GPS Source
The Raynav 305 GPS Plotter includes a built-in GPS receiver. However,
it is possible to use GPS data from another GPS receiver connected via
SeaTalk or NMEA.
This option allows you to specifiy the source of the GPS data.
Select MASTER to use the built-in GPS receiver, or REPEATER to use
external GPS data. The factory default is MASTER.
GPS SOG/COG Filter
Select the SOG/COG filter setting as required. This can be set to HIGH,
MEDIUM or LOW. The factory default is MEDIUM.
The velocity vectors calculated from the GPS Signal give an
instantaneous measure of speed and direction of the GPS antenna. The
COG and SOG can therefore seem erratic under certain conditions. For
example,whenavesselismovingslowlythroughroughseas,theantenna
moves from side to side as well as in the direction of the vessel.
The SOG/COG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the
oscillatingmotion of the vessel, giving aclearer indicationofthevessel’s
course and speed.
Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a
high setting, whereas a power boat that can quickly change speed and
direction will benefit from a low setting.
The filter does not affect the calculation of the GPS position.

Language
Select the language in which you wish information to be displayed. The
selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and options,
but will not affect the letters displayed by the context-sensitive cursor.
The language setting also affects the display format for lat/long position
information.
Simulator
The simulator allows you to operate your Plotter without data from the
antenna and/or external data sources. When the simulator is switched on,
a SIMULATOR data box is displayed during operation, showing that
simulation has been selected.

Chart Orientation
The plotter orientation is normally North Up, but can be changed to
Course Up or Head Up if heading data is available. The orientation
modes give the following displays:
•
North Up: The screen is displayed with north upwards. As you
change heading, the ship’s heading marker moves. This is the default
mode and is the only mode available if there is no heading data.
Course Up: The plotter is stabilized and displayed with the currently
selected course upwards. If you select a new course, the picture
rotates to display the new course upwards.
•
The reference used for the Course Up depends on the information
available. The first available in the following is used:
•
•
A locked heading over a SeaTalk connection
The heading at the time Course Up was selected
To update the Course Up reference whilst Course Up is the current
mode, re-select Course Up from the set up menu.
•
Head Up: The display shows the vessel’s current heading upwards.
As the heading changes the image will rotate.

The GPS Navigation Status screen provides, for each tracked satellite,
the satellite number, a graphical signal strength bar and its current usage
status. Data for up to 12 satellites are shown.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon certain parameters; in particular
for GPS, the azimuth and elevation angles are used in a triangulation
process to calculate position. HDOP (Horizontal Dilution Of Position) is
a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure signifies greater error. In ideal
circumstances, the figure should be in the region of 1.0. The Fix Status
can indicate:
•
•

5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides instructions to assist in planning the installation of
the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter aboard your vessel.
Note: If you wish to practice using the Raynav 300 GPS Plotter before
installation, you can connect it, via a 1A quick blow fuse, to a 12VDC
power supply and operate it using the simulator mode, as described in
Chapter 2: Getting Started.
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
ElectromagneticCompatibility(EMC)standards,butcorrectinstallation
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 carry-
ing 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 than7 ft(2 m)fromthe path of aradar beam. A radarbeam can
normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radi-
ating 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 oper-
ating mode.

• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these
cablescancompromiseEMCperformanceandmust be avoidedunless
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
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used
with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by
Raymarine.

5.3 GPS Antenna Installation
The GPS Antenna is designed to receive the signals emitted from the
satellitesina direct path. Ideally, the unitshouldbe mounted horizontally
in a location that is open and clear of any masts or other structures that
could block line-of-sight reception of signals.
The height of the GPS Antenna is not as important as it’s having a clear
view horizon to horizon for optimum signal reception. In fact, the lower
the unit can be mounted and have a clear view to satellites, the better. The
more stable the unit, the easier it is to track satellites lower to the horizon.
Note: Do mount the antenna up a mast as this will cause the antenna to
swing with the vessel, leading to significant errors in COG and SOG
readings.
The GPS Antenna can be mounted on a pole. Alternatively, you can use a
pole mounting bracket or surface mount kit.
When mounting the GPS Antenna flush to a deck surface avoid areas
where the unit will be trodden upon or where it may present a tripping
hazard.

panel mounted using the optional Panel Mounting Kit.
When planning the installation of your Raynav 300, the following points
should be considered:
• Convenience: The unit should be installed in a convenient position
where it can be viewed straight on or with a viewing angle of less than
35°. You may wish to apply power, before you install the unit, to deter-
mine the best viewing angle prior to fixing. The mounting location
should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front panel con-
trols.
• Access:There must besufficient space behindthe displayunit toallow
cable connections to the rear panel 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 and generators
(see the EMC Installation Guidelines earlier in this chapter).
power cable supplied is 1.5m, but a longer cable can be used if
required. Power must be supplied via a 1A quick blow fuse or circuit
breaker. Refer to Section 5.6, Cable Running.
• Environment: The unit should be protected from physical damage,
heat sources and excessive vibration. Although the unit is waterproof,
it is good practice to mount it in a protected area away from prolonged

5.6 Cable Running
Introduction
The minimum requirements are a power cable and a connection from the
associated GPS Antenna. Additional cables will be required if you are
connecting to other equipment.
Consider the following points before installing the system cables:
• All cables should be adequately cleated and protected from physical
damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or
doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a
• If anextension isrequired forthe antenna cable it shouldbe limited to a
single extension and kept as short as possible to minimise any signal
loss.
• The antenna cable should not be run close to any VHF antenna feeds.
Cross coupling between the cables may result in interference of the
GPS receiver and possible reduction in performance.
Connectors
Run the following cables from the connectors provided at the rear of the
plotter as shown in Figure 5-6:
• ANTENNA, for connection to the associated GPS antenna.
• PWR/NMEA, for DC power and NMEA inputs/outputs.
• SeaTalk, using the dedicated SeaTalk connector.
