Instruments can be organised in groups, up to a maximum of eight
groups each of eight instruments, to allow specified groups to be
operated from different Remote Keypads (see Chapter 4, Setup). For
optimum system flexibility, you can also use more than one Remote
Keypads to operate any group of instruments.
Typical ways of using instrument groups are shown in the following
illustration.

Remote indicators
When the or key is pressed, each individual instrument in the
associated instrument group is selected in turn, on successive key
presses. As each instrument is selected, it displays a remote indication,
during which time you can control it from the Remote Keypad. The
manner in which the remote indication is displayed depends on the type
of instrument:
• On ST80 instruments, the display changes to reverse video (white
on black).
• On ST60 digital instruments, a REMOTE indicator is displayed.

Chapter 2: Maintenance & Fault Finding
2.1 Maintenance
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
Servicing and safety
• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorised
Raymarine service engineers. They will ensure that service
procedures and replacement parts used will not affect performance.
There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, and so never handle the
cables/connectors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
• Always report any EMC related problem to your nearest Raymarine
dealer. We will use any such information to improve our quality
standards.
Cabling
Periodically examine all cables for chafing or other damage to the outer
shield. When necessary, replace and secure damaged cables.
Assistance
For advice or further information regarding this product, please contact
the Raymarine Product Support Department or your own National
Distributor.
2.2 Fault finding
All Raymarine products are subjected to a comprehensive test
procedure prior to packing and shipping. In the unlikely event that a
fault does occur with your Remote Keypad, use the following check list
to help identify and rectify the problem.

Chapter 3: Installation 7
Chapter 3 Installation
3.1 Planning your installation
Before installing your SeaTalk Remote Keypad, spend some time
considering the best position. It should be fitted in a position which
gives optimum accessibility while at the same time satisfying the EMC
installation guidelines and the other Site requirements, described
below. Ensure that you have all the necessary components, templates
and tools for the job.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best
industry standards for use in the leisure 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 product.
To minimise the risk of operating problems:
• All Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it should be:
• At least 1 m (3 feet) 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
2 m (7 ft).
• More than 2 m (7 ft) 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 should be supplied from a different battery than the
one used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V in the power
supply to our products can cause the equipment to reset. This will
not damage the equipment, but will cause the loss of some
information and can change the operating mode.
• Raymarine specified cables should be used at all times. Cutting and
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so
should be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation
manual.
073_5txt.p65 1/22/2003, 10:07 AM7
8 SeaTalk Remote Keypad Owner’s Handbook
• If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not
be removed. If the ferrite has to be removed during installation it
must be reassembled in the same position.
Suppression Ferrites
The following illustration shows the typical range of suppression
ferrites fitted to Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites
specified by Raymarine.
Connections to other equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is going to be connected to other
equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression
ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit.
Tools
• 5 mm twist drill • 45 mm (1.77 in) tank cutter/hole saw
• Power drill • Screwdrivers
Site requirements
The SeaTalk Remote Keypad must be installed:
• In a flat, smooth location.
• At least 230 mm (9 in) away from your vessel’s steering compass
and 500 mm (20 in) from radio equipment.
• So there is sufficient space behind the facia to accommodate the
cables, fixing studs and thumb nuts.
If you intend siting the keypad next to an instrument or another
keypad, make sure that they are separated by at least 3 mm to enable
sun covers to be fitted, when required.

3.3 Check before going to sea
EMC conformance
• Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it
is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the
equipment from being affected by external influences. In general
this will not damage the equipment but can lead to it resetting, or
momentarily may result in faulty operation.

Chapter 4: Setup
4.1 Introduction to instrument grouping
When a Remote Keypad is first installed, all instruments respond
simultaneously to the Remote Keypad button presses.
Although this simultaneous operation may be suitable for installations
with a small number of instruments, in larger installations, it is often
more convenient to organise instruments into groups.
Once a Remote Keypad and instruments have been grouped, the up and
down keys are used to select individual instruments. An instrument can
then be operated remotely using the appropriate Remote Keypad
buttons.
You can create up to eight standard instrument and eight ST80
MaxiView instrument groups:
• Each group can have up to eight instruments.
• Each group must have at least one Remote Keypad grouped to it.
• Each Remote Keypad can only be grouped with one ST80
MaxiView and one standard instrument group.
• Each instrument in a group has a unique alphanumeric identity (e.g.
A1, where A defines the group and 1 the instrument sequence
number within the group). Standard instruments are assigned group
letters from A to H. ST80 MaxiView instruments are assigned group
letters from J to Q. Ungrouped instruments have a dash (-) in place
of a group letter.
• The instrument sequence number range is from 1 to 8.
4.2 Grouping standard instruments
To define a group of standard (110 mm) instruments:
1. At any Remote Keypad, press and hold the lower and
keys for 4 seconds. All the standard instruments will enter group
setup mode, with the selected instrument showing a remote
indication, as follows:
• On selected ST80 instruments, the display shows reverse video
(white on black).
