The power connection for your system should be made at either the output
of the battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. The
power must be fed directly to the system through its own dedicated cable
system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse,
installed close to the power connection
A 10 ft. (3m) cable is supplied with your system for connecting to the
boat’s DC power supply as follows:
Extending the power cable
The power cable may be extended up to a maximum length of 60 ft. (20m)
using a suitable AWG 12 multi-stranded cable.
Note:
If the power connections are accidentally reversed the system will
not work. Raymarine recommends using a multi-meter to ensure
that the power lead is connected with the correct polarity.
Grounding the system
CAUTION: Grounding
This system is not intended for use on ‘positive’ ground
boats. The power cable earth screen must be connected to
the boat’s RF ground system.
Your boat’s power system should be either:
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to
the boat’s ground, or
• Floating with neither battery terminal connected to the boat’s ground.
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to your SR100
weather system.
You must ground your weather system by connecting the drain wire
(screen) of the power cable to the nearest ground point on your boat’s RF
system.
If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm braid
or AWG 10 multi-strand cable.
If your boat does not have an RF system, connect the drain wire to the
negative battery terminal.
