Installation 9

Chapter 1: Installation

1.1 Introduction

This chapter deals with the installation of the DSM400

Digital Sounder Module and covers the following:

Connections to the unit are dealt with in “System and

transducer connections” on page 17.

1.2 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 important to understand what

factors could affect the operation of the equipment.

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.

• Place equipment at least 5ft (1.5 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 7ft (2 m).

• Place equipment more than 7ft (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 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 operating mode.

• Cables are not cut or extended unless doing so is detailed

in the installation manual.

Remember

Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above

recommendations:

• Always allow the maximum separation possible between

different items of electrical equipment. This will provide the

best conditions for EMC performance for the installation.

1.3 Cable suppression ferrites

The DSM400 is supplied with a pack of suppression ferrites.

These must be fitted correctly to ensure optimum EMC perfor-

mance and to comply with applicable EMC regulations.

Fit the ferrites to the cables supplied as shown overleaf.

Additional cables and ferrites

Additional cables fitted to the system will also require ferrites.

Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine

authorized dealers.

Connection to other equipment

If Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment

using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a Raymarine suppres-

sion ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable in a position

near the Raymarine unit.

1.4 Planning the installation

Before installing the unit, consider the following:

• Location of the sounder module.

• Cable runs.

• Transducer selection.

Location of the sounder module

The unit should be mounted where it will be:

• protected from physical damage and excessive vibration.

• protected from prolonged exposure to rain, salt spray and

direct sunlight.

• well ventilated.

• as close to the transducer as possible.

When choosing a location for the sounder module, consider the

following points to ensure reliable and trouble free operation.

• Access - there must be sufficient space below the unit to

enable cable connections to the unit, avoiding tight bends.

• Interference - the unit should be mounted far enough away

from any device that may cause interference such as

motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers. See

“EMC installation guidelines” on page 9.

• Magnetic compass - mount the unit at least 3 ft. (1 m)

away from a magnetic compass.

• Vertical surface - the unit must be mounted in an upright

position.

DO NOT mount the unit:

• in an engine room.

• on the main console.

• on a horizontal surface

Warning: Product installation

This equipment must be installed in

accordance with the instructions contained in

this handbook. Failure to do so may result in

poor product performance, personal injury,

and/or damage to the boat.

Warning: Sources of ignition

This equipment must NOT be installed or used

in hazardous/flammable atmospheres such as

an engine room.

Warning: Heavy object

The DSM400 Digital Sounder Module weighs 27

lbs (12.25 kg). Ensure that the chosen location

for the unit is able to support the weight.

Take care when lifting or moving the unit.

Caution: Mounting the unit

Due to the weight of the unit, it must be

mounted using the bolts supplied. DO NOT use

self-tapping screws as these will not support

the weight.

1.5 What’s in the box

Unpack the unit and associated components carefully to prevent

damage. Save the box and packing in case the unit needs to be

returned for service.

Check that all the correct system components are included as

shown in the drawing below.

1.6 Installing the unit

Having selected a suitable location, install the unit using the

supplied hardware.

To install the unit:

1. Using tape, secure the mounting template in the required

location.

2. Drill a 9/64” pilot hole at each of the eight marked locations

on the template.

Not all cable glands are supplied fitted to the unit as shown

above, but will be found loose in the components bag.

unit.

6. Tighten the bolts to secure the unit in position.

1.7 Cable runs

Before installing the system cables, consider the following

points:

• Power, transducer and network cables need to be attached

to the unit.

For fiberglass mountings, countersink each of the pilot

holes to prevent damage to the gelcoat when driving in the

bolts.

Installation 15

• Cables should be adequately secured, protected from

physical damage, and protected from exposure to heat.

• Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close

to moving or hot objects.

• Avoid sharp bends.

• Use a watertight feed-through wherever a cable passes

through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead.

• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil

any extra cable and tie it out of the way.

Power cable

The power cable should be run as a single length of cable from

the unit to the boat’s battery/distribution panel.

Please refer to the following table to ensure that the correct

gauge of cable is used for the required cable length.

Transducer cable

Raymarine does not recommend extending the transducer

cable. However, if this is unavoidable contact your local dealer

for assistance.

1. The figures assume a constant current of 7A,

regardless of input voltage.

2. Cable length is the distance between the power source

and the unit.

3. These wire sizes give a total drop of about 0.5 V

between the power source and the unit, achieving a

minimum voltage at the unit of 10.5 V with a fully flat

battery at 11V.

System and transducer connections 19

The numbers within the drawing refer to the detailed illustrations within this chapter.

Note: Only one temperature wire should be connected. (To

either the speed/temperature or non-diplexed transducer

input as appropriate.)

Non-Diplexed transducer cables

Non-Diplexed transducer cables contain wires bundled as

detailed and should be connected within the sounder module as

shown in the following diagram:

The overall screen must be connected to the unit earth bolt

using the ground spur cable supplied - refer to “Ground

connection” on page 22.

2.4 Custom transducer configurations

If the cable connections for the transducer you are using with

your DSM400 do not include an ‘Orange ID’ wire, you will need

to configure the sounder unit manually to match the power and

frequency of the transducer. To do this, use one of the four

override rotary switches located on the left of the sounder unit

printed circuit board (PCB).
