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.

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.

• 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).
