Chapter 2: Installation 17
2.2 Planning the Installation
Mount the transceiver to allow easy access from the location where the boat is
normally navigated. Select a location that is non-metallic, dry, protected, well-
ventilated, and free from high operating temperatures and excessive vibration.
Provide sufficient space behind the transceiver to allow for proper cable
connections to the rear panel connectors. Locate the transceiver as near as
possible to the power source yet as far apart as possible from any devices that
may cause interference such as motors, generators, and other on board
electronics. The radio should be protected from prolonged direct exposure to rain
and salt spray.
The Ray218E/Ray55E is not designed to be mounted in engine compartments. Do
not install the radio in a location where there may be flammable vapors (such as
in an engine room or compartment, or in a fuel tank bay), water splash or spray
from bilges or hatches, where it is at risk from physical damage from heavy items
(such as hatch covers, tool boxes, etc.), or where it might be covered by other
equipment. Locate the radio at least 1.5 meters from the antenna.
Safe Compass Distance is 1 meter for a common compass. To be sure, you should
locate the radio as far as possible from the compass. Test your compass to verify
proper operation while the radio is also operating.
The Ray218E/Ray55E can be conveniently mounted on a chart table, bulkhead,
overhead, or any other desired location. Refer to the following figure for typical
mounting methods.
The Ray218E/Ray55E may also be flush mounted using the optional A46053 Rear
Flush Mount Kit, available from your Raymarine dealer. A Front Mount Kit (part
number A 46060) is also available for the Ray218E. Instructions for installing the
radio using the Flush Mount Kit are included with the kit.
