Warnings and cautions Navigation aid Raymarine equipment is intended for use only as an aid to navigation. You must still ensure that a properly qualified person is acting as navigator at all times and that all applicable maritime regulations are adhered to. You must also ensure that all proper judgements and actions are taken to ensure a safe passage.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive i. At least 3 ft. (1 m) 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 7 ft. (2 m). ii. 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. • The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start.

4.1 General instructions Strain relief • Cable types and length • Follow the guidelines given in this section to determine appropriate cable types and length. • Unless otherwise stated use only standard cables of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine. • Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of the correct quality and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in a cable.
4.2 Power distribution Typical distribution Monitor Monitor Radar GPS Distribution Panel DSM 400 GPM400 GPM400 +VE bar -VE bar All GPM400 processors must be powered from a single breaker. In line fuse protection must be provided for each individual power circuit.
Circuit grounding Power distribution notes: • Raymarine recommend that you have a dedicated distribution panel for your G-Series system. • All GPM400 processor units must be powered from a single breaker or switch, with appropriate circuit protection. • All monitors and ancillary equipment should where possible be wired to individual breakers. Grounding The power cable screen and all Ground terminals MUST be connected to ship’s ground.

Chapter contents • 8.1 Language setting on page 82 • 8.2 Compass heading setup on page 82 • 8.3 Radar setup on page 83 • 8.4 GPS checks on page 85 • 8.5 Fishfinder checks on page 86 • 8.6 Set up video on page 87 • 8.7 NMEA 0183 on page 88 • 8.
8.1 Language setting Check heading Provided that the system has a compass connected, the compass heading is displayed in the data bar at the top of the screen: The system will operate in the following languages: English (US) English (UK) Chinese Danish Dutch Finnish French German Greek Icelandic Italian Japanese Korean Norwegian Portuguese Russian Spanish Swedish Compass Heading D10351-1 If no heading is displayed this could indicate a problem with the autopilot or compass connection.
8.3 Radar setup Initialize radar and set to transmit Electromagnetic energy You will need to: The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure all personnel are clear of the scanner before switching to Tx (transmit mode). • Initialize the radar • Select a scanner (2 scanner systems only) • Set radar to transmit 2 scanner systems To initialize the radar The system may have 2 digital scanners connected. You can select the scanner to be used for each radar window.
To set radar to transmit Check and adjust bearing alignment 1. Press the Power button on the Keyboard. 2. Press the RADAR TX/STDBY softkey and set to TX. Note: For 2 scanner systems there are individual ON/OFF and TX/ STDBY keys for each scanner. Check and adjust the radar bearing alignment to ensure that radar objects appear at the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You will need to check the radar bearing alignment for any scanner installation that is not aligned with the boat.
8.4 2. Note the position of the object on the radar display. If the target is not under the Ships heading marker (SHM), there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. GPS checks To adjust the bearing alignment The GPS is required to show your boat position on the chart. You can set up your GPS and check its status using the GPS status icons and the GPS Status page of the Setup menu.

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting This section gives details for the troubleshooting the system. It covers common problems that may occur during test and commissioning.
9.1 Troubleshooting Power up Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • The system (or part of it) does not power up. • Power supply problem • Check relevant fuses and breakers. • Check that the power supply cable is sound and that all connections are tight and free from corrosion. • Check that the power source is of the correct voltage and sufficient current. Marine Monitors Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Monitor is blank. • The monitor is in standby mode.
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • The keyboard does not operate monitor setting menus. • On or more monitors are not listed when configuring the monitors or Nav Stations. • SeaTalkhs network problem • Check the status of the SeaTalkhs Switch. Refer to troubleshooting SeaTalkhs Switch LED indications on page 98 • Check the marine monitor and ensure that the network selector switch is in the “up” position (required when connected to the SeaTalkhs network).
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Keypresses result in improper or no action at the display. • Software mismatch between equipment may prevent communication. • Contact Raymarine technical support • Keyboard does not control the expected monitor or Nav Station. • Keyboard is not assigned to the correct Nav Station(s). • Assign keyboard to Nav station (see Assign Keyboards on page 78).
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Radar will not initialize (Voltage control module (VCM) stuck in “sleep mode”) • Intermittent or poor power connection. • Check power connection at VCM. (Voltage at input = 12 V, Voltage at output = 40 V) • Switch at scanner pedestal in OFF position. • Ensure scanner pedestal switch is in ON position. • The bearing given on the radar window differs from the actual bearing. • The radar bearing alignment requires correcting.
Video Problem Possible cause / solution Possible solutions Video picture is unavailable at some or all Nav stations. • Video signal is not reaching the GVM400 video module. • Check the video source equipment. • GVM400 video module or power supply problem. • Check the GVM400 status. See troubleshooting GVM400 LED indications on page 100. • Check the video connections to the GVM400 unit. • Check the GVM400 power supply. Refer to troubleshooting Power up on page 92.
Data Problem Possible cause / solution Possible solutions • Instrument or other system data is unavailable at all Nav Stations. • Data not received at Master GPM. • Check the data bus (e.g. SeaTalkng) wiring and connection to the master GPM. • Check the overall integrity of the data bus (e.g. SeaTalkng) wiring. • If available refer to the reference guide for the data bus. (e.g. SeaTalkng reference manual) • Data source (e.g ST70 instrument) is not operating. • Check the source of the missing data (e.
Fishfinder • Problem • Possible cause / solution • Possible solutions • No data source for the fishfinder. • DSM power supply fault. • Check the DMS power supply. Refer to troubleshooting Power up on page 92. • Other DSM fault. • Refer to the instructions supplied with the DSM unit. • SeaTalkhs network problem. • Check that the DSM is correctly connected to the SeaTalkhs switch. • Check the status of the SeaTalkhs Switch. Refer to troubleshooting Status LEDs on page 98.
