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
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.

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 •
• Power drill •
45 mm (1.77 in) tank cutter/hole saw
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.

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).
