[. . . ] A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position. 5 Installing the ST4000+ EMC suppression ferrites The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine. D3548-2 Connections to other equipment If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near to the Raymarine unit. 48 ST4000+ Wheel & Tiller Autopilots: Owner's Handbook 5. 2 Control unit 5 Installing the ST4000+ Control unit dimensions 110 mm (4. 33 in) 24 mm (0. 95 in) 17 mm (0. 67 in) 115 mm (4. 53 in) D3242-2 Location Locate the ST4000+ control unit so it is: · · · · · within easy reach from the steering position viewable straight on, or with a maximum viewing angle of 30° protected from physical damage at least 230 mm (9 in) from any compass at least 1 m (3 ft) from any radio/radar receivers/transmitters The selected location should also: · · · · be clean, smooth and flat be accessible from behind (so you can secure and run cables) have sufficient space to accommodate the rear of the control unit and connectors allow at least 6 mm (1/4 in) between adjacent control units and instruments so you can fit their sun covers CAUTION: The ST4000+ front cover is waterproof when installed according to the following instructions. However, the rear cover must be protected from water in a ventilated and drained area. Any water or water vapor in this area could cause damage by coming into contact with electrical connections or condensation by entering the control unit through its breathing hole. 90 mm (3. 55 in) Chapter 5: Installing the ST4000+ 49 Mounting procedure 5 Installing the ST4000+ Control units are available in surface mount and flush mount styles. Surface mount control units To fit a surface mount control unit: 1. Apply the surface mount template (supplied at the back of this handbook) to the selected bulkhead. Mark the centers of the two fixing holes and the cable boss. Drill two 5 mm (3/16 in) diameter holes for the fixing studs. Use a 90 mm (3. 55 in) diameter cutter to drill the hole for the cable boss. Peel the protective sheet from the self-adhesive gasket, then stick the gasket into position on the rear of the control unit surround. Screw the fixing studs into the control unit. Pass the cables (power, compass, SeaTalk etc. ) through the bulkhead and connect them to the appropriate terminals (as described later in this chapter). Assemble the control unit to the bulkhead. Secure the control unit with the thumb nuts provided. Hand-tighten the thumb nuts ­ do NOT use a wrench. Fixing stud Thumb nut Cable boss Self-adhesive gasket D3243-3 50 ST4000+ Wheel & Tiller Autopilots: Owner's Handbook Flush mount control units 5 Installing the ST4000+ To fit a flush mount control unit: 1. Ensure that the intended mounting location is between 3 mm (1/8 in) and 20 mm (3/4 in) thick. Apply the flush mount template (supplied at the back of this handbook) to the selected location.
