Chapter 13: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
13.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information on maintaining and troubleshooting your C-Series
Display, and also information on how to get assistance from Raymarine.
13.2 Maintenance procedures
At regular intervals, carry out the following servicing procedures:
• Routine checks.
• Cleaning the Display.
Do not attempt any other servicing procedures.
Servicing and Safety
• Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine service
technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and any replacement parts
used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Rayma-
rine product.
• Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables or connectors
when power is being supplied to the equipment.
• When powered on, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields. These
can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one another,
with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize these effects
and enable you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equip-
ment, guidelines are given in the installations manual, to enable you to ensure min-
imum interaction between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
• Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer. We use
such information to improve our quality standards.
• In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from being
affected by external influences. Generally this will not damage the display, but it
can lead to spurious re-setting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
• At the end of the useful working life of this product, it should disposed of in accor-
dance with local regulations.
Routine checks
Carry out the following tasks on a regular basis:
• Examine all cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
• Check that all cables are securely connected.
