Raymarine 320 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
5-12 Raychart 320 Chartplotter
Antenna Connector
The ANTENNA connector provides power and RF connection to the
associated GPS Antenna.
CAUTION:
Do not connect/disconnect the GPS Antenna from the display unit
whilst power is applied. Such action could cause irreparable
damage.
Connect the antenna using the attached cable, as follows:
1. If not already installed, mount the GPS Antenna as described in
Section 5.3.
2. Feed the cable through to the rear of the Chartplotter.
3. Coil up any unused cable in an appropriate safe space out of view. Do
not bend the cable tighter than 4in (100mm) radius.
4. Screw the cable connector fully into its mating connector on the
Chartplotter.
5. Ensure that the protective boot covers the connector.
Note: If the supplied cable is too short, use an extension cable (Part#
E36011), or consult your Raymarine dealer.
It is recommended that only a single extension cable is used as each extra
connector will reduce signal levels.
