1.2 Planning the installation
This section provides information and advice for planning the installation of your
Display.
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
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that
they will perform under all conditions, it is importanttounderstand whatfactorscould
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) from anyequipment transmitting orcables carryingradio sig-
nalse.g.VHFradios,cablesandantennas.InthecaseofSSBradios,thedistance
should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m).
• More than 7ft. (2 m) from the pathof a radar beam. A radarbeam can normally
be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating 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 infor-
mation and may change the operating mode.
• Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can com-
promise 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.

E-Series Installation Manual
Suppression Ferrites
The illustration shows typical cable suppression
ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always
use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.
D6626-1
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.
Where should the Display unit be located?
Your E-Series display can either be flush-mounted or mounted using the trunnion
bracket supplied.
Before you install the display, plan its installation, considering:
• Convenience: The contrast and colors seen on all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)
vary slightly with viewing angle and are best viewed perpendicular to the display.
The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow operation of the front
panel controls. Avoid installing where excessive reflection will occur in normal use.
• Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable connec-
tions to the rear panel connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cables.
• Interference:Theselectedlocationshouldbe farenoughawayfrom devicesthat
may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receiv-
ers (see EMC Guidelines).
• Magnetic compass: Mount the display at least 3ft (1m) away from a magnetic
compass.
• Cableruns: The display should be mounted as near as possible to a Direct Current
(DC) power source. All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physi-
cal damage and excessive vibration. Avoid running cables through bilges or door-
ways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Environmental: The display should be protected from physical damage and
excessive vibration. 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. The rear of the display should be in a well ventilated space to ensure air
circulation to the rear of the unit.
EMC Conformance
Always check the installationbefore going to sea to make sure thatitis not affected by
radio transmissions, engine starting etc.

Chapter 2: System Integration
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of system integration, you may find that your
system does not use all the protocols or contain all the instrumentation that is
described in it. However it is hoped that the information supplied will help in your
understanding of how systems can be integrated and used successfully.
2.1 What is System Integration?
System integration enables various instruments and displays to communicate with
each other and use the collected data to increase the functionality of the system.
This data exchange is only possible if the data gathering is accurate, and transfer
between instruments is fast and accurate.
Fast and accurate data transfer is achieved by using a combination of the following
data protocols:
• SeaTalk.
• SeaTalk2.
• National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA)0183.
• NMEA 2000.
• SeaTalk High Speed.
When two or more E-Series Displays are networked, all shared data can be viewed on
any display.
What is SeaTalk?
SeaTalk
The SeaTalk protocol enables compatible instruments to be connected to a simple
network by way of a single cable carrying power (12 volts, 150 mA) and data in/out,
without a central processor.
Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by
plugging them into the network. SeaTalkequipmentcanalso communicatewithother
non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard, provided a suitable interface is
used.
SeaTalk2
SeaTalk2 is an enhanced replacement for SeaTalk and is a proprietary extension to
NMEA 2000 and the proven CAN bus technology. It enables other Raymarine SeaTalk2

E-Series Installation Manual
devices to talk to each other, whilst maintaining near transparent NMEA 2000
compatibility.
What is SeaTalk High Speed?
SeaTalk High Speed is designed to provide a ‘plug and play’, ethernet based marine
network. It supports up to 8 nodes e.g. 7 displays and a DSM300, which can be
connected to a compatible device, display, DSM etc. to give you access to all radar,
fishfinder, chart cartridge and instrument data, waypoints, routes, tracks and
navigation information held on the system.
What is NMEA?
NMEA 0183
The NMEA 0183 Data Interface Standard was developed by the National Marine
ElectronicsAssociationofAmerica. Itisaninternationalstandardtoenableequipment
from many different manufacturers to be connected together and share information.
The NMEA 0183 standard carries similar information to SeaTalk. However it has the
important difference in that one cable will only carry information in one direction. For
this reason NMEA 0183 is generally used to connect a data receiver and a transmitter
together, e.g. a compass sensor transmitting heading to a radar display.
This information is passed in ‘sentences’, each of which has a three-letter sentence
identifier. It is therefore important when checking compatibility between items that
the same sentence identifiers are used:
• VTG - carries Course and Speed Over Ground data.
• GLL - carries latitude and longitude.
• DBT - carries water depth.
• MWV - carries relative wind angle and wind speed data.
NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 offers significant improvements over NMEA 0183, most notably in speed
and connectivity. Up to 50 units can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single-
physical bus at any one time, with each node being physically addressable.
The standard was specifically intended to allow for a whole network of marine
electronics from any manufacturer to communicate on a common bus via
standardized message types and formats.

CompactFlash cards
It is possible to archive or transfer information to and from your E-Series display and
other compatible instruments using CompactFlash cards. To achieve the best results it
is recommended that SAN DISK® CompactFlash cards are used.
2.3 Functionality
For full functionality of the displays the following position and heading data is
required:
• Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the
radar to operate inNorth Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course
Up and Head Up modes.
• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use
speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same
source as position data (GPS).
• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-
layfunctions-requires accurateheadingdata. MARPAfunctionalityis provided
if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using
fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible
Raymarine autopilot.
• Chart display - requires position data (GPS).

Networking E-Series Displays
You can connect two or more E-Series Displays to create a network. This will enable
you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple
SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another.
When you are installing a network of E-Series Displays you should note the following:
• One display will act as the master, into which all SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 connections
should be made.
• If you connect the master display to all other displays in the system via SeaTalk or
SeaTalk2, you will negate the need to unplug and reconnect cabling if the master
becomes redundant.
• The bridging of data from SeaTalk/SeaTalk2 only occurs at the master. You cannot
therefore have additional networks connected to additional E-Series Displays. You
can however connect multiple NMEA inputs.
• As it is not possible to view a video image across the network, you should connect
the Video In cable to the display on which you wish to view the image.
The following two pages detail a simple E-Series Networked System with two E-Series
displays and no DSM and a more advanced, multiple node system incorporating two
(or more) displays and a DSM 300.

Bearing alignment
Adjusting the bearing alignment ensures that targets appear at the correct bearing
relative to your boat’s bow. You need to select a visible target of known bearing that is
displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct
bearing reading is obtained.
You can carry out a bearing alignment in two ways:
... with your boat moored
To use this method you will need a hand bearing compass:
1. Visuallyidentifyasuitabletarget, suchasabuoythatcanbeseentowardstheedge
of the radar screen. Typically, this will be on the 1.5nm range.
2. Determine the accurate bearing of the target relative to your boat’s bow using the
hand bearing compass. To do this subtract your boat head bearing from the target
visual bearing, these examples may help:
Example 1
Example 2
Visual bearing (a) = 065° M
Ships head bearing (b) = 021° M
Visual bearing (a) = 030° M
Ships head bearing (b) = 042° M
Relative bearing:
= (a) - (b)
= 065 - 021 = 044° R
Relative bearing:
= (a) - (b)
= 030 - 042 = -012
If answer is negative, add 360° =
012 + 360 = 348° R
3. From the primary radar soft keys, press VRM/EBL.
4. Toggle the VRM/EBL soft key to ON. Adjust the EBL to your chosen target. If there is
a difference between your calculated bearing and that shown for the EBL, there is
an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment,
See “How do I adjust the bearing alignment?” on page 35.
... with your boat under way
1. Align your boat’s bow with the selected target.
2. Note the position of the target relative to the Ships Heading Marker (SHM) on the
radarpicture.IfthetargetisnotundertheSHM, thereisanalignmenterrorandyou
will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. For details see below.
How do I adjust the bearing alignment?

This screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signal
strength bar, status, azimuth angle and its elevation angle from your vessel. The sky
view graphic shows the position of these satellites.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth
and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
When a connection has been successfully made, the GPS status icon in
the top right-hand corner of the screen reads FIX.
If NO FIX is displayed, please refer to the Troubleshooting section on
page 41.
The option to select differential or satellite differential fix is dependent
upon the capabilities of the attached GPS. If your boat is equipped with a Raymarine
GPS, the Differential GPS can be switched on or off using the appropriate soft key.
4.7 How do I check the heading data?
If your display is connected to a compass, autopilot or fast heading sensor, your boat’s
heading will be displayed in the data bar. If heading data is not available your display
can use COG data. This will however affect the operation of the following functions:
• overlay a radar image over your chart.
• orientate a radar image north-up.
• MARPA.
To linearize (‘swing’) your compass proceed as follows:
1. Press MENU.
2. Select the Compass Setup sub-menu.
3. Press LINEARIZE COMPASS and follow the instructions displayed on screen. When
instructed to align heading, press the ALIGN HEADING soft key and then turn the
rotary control one click at a time to fine tune the heading.
4.8 How do I check the Chart application?
For full functionality of chart applications, you need to ensure that position data is
available at the display via SeaTalk, NMEA, SeaTalk2 or SeaTalk High Speed. To use
your chart as a navigation aid you will need a CompactFlash card (see page 10) with
the appropriate level of detail for the geographic area that you wish to navigate.
