EMC Servicing and maintenance

• Undue noise and interference may be a symptom of an EMC related problem,

Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We

use such information to improve our quality standards.

• To minimize any EMC related problems and ensure the best possible

performance from your Raymarine equipment, follow the guidelines given in the

installation instructions.

Suppression ferrites

Raymarine cables may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are important for

correct EMC performance. Any ferrite removed for maintenance purposes must be

replaced in the original position once the maintenance is complete.

Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine authorized dealers.

Pilot Controller

The Pilot Controller is a sealed unit, so user maintenance is limited to the following

routine tasks:

• Ensure all cable connectors are securely connected.

• Examine the controller and cables for signs of wear or damage. Replace any

damaged components.

CAUTION: Avoid damage when cleaning

Do NOT wipe the Pilot Controller display screen with a dry cloth as

this could scratch the screen coating.

Using a clean, damp cloth, wipe the Pilot Controller. Do NOT use chemical or abrasive

materials to clean the controller.

Note: In certain conditions, condensation may appear inside the display screen. This will not

harm the unit, and you can clear it by switching on the illumination for a short time.

Drive

Routine maintenance

Daily inspection before commencing any passage:

- Visually inspect the Drive installation.

- Check autopilot operation.

Daily inspection after each passage:

After each trip, wipe the drive unit clean with a damp cloth, to remove salt or other

deposits.

Annual inspection:

Check once per year that the Drive, and associated torque restraint are securely fitted

and have not worked loose during usage.

Remove any deposits from the emergency release pin and check its operation.
