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).
