Raymarine EMC Guidelines EMC Installation & Service Guidelines IMPORTANT NOTE All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment. 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.
Raymarine EMC Guidelines • • Raymarine specified cables are used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so 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.
