Chapter 8: Commissioning This chapter provides information for the commissioning of a system once the initial setup is complete. Chapter contents • 8.1 Language setting on page 82 • 8.2 Compass heading setup on page 82 • 8.3 Radar setup on page 83 • 8.4 GPS checks on page 85 • 8.5 Fishfinder checks on page 86 • 8.6 Set up video on page 87 • 8.7 NMEA 0183 on page 88 • 8.
8.1 Language setting Check heading Provided that the system has a compass connected, the compass heading is displayed in the data bar at the top of the screen: The system will operate in the following languages: English (US) English (UK) Chinese Danish Dutch Finnish French German Greek Icelandic Italian Japanese Korean Norwegian Portuguese Russian Spanish Swedish Compass Heading D10351-1 If no heading is displayed this could indicate a problem with the autopilot or compass connection.
8.3 Radar setup Initialize radar and set to transmit Electromagnetic energy You will need to: The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure all personnel are clear of the scanner before switching to Tx (transmit mode). • Initialize the radar • Select a scanner (2 scanner systems only) • Set radar to transmit 2 scanner systems To initialize the radar The system may have 2 digital scanners connected. You can select the scanner to be used for each radar window.
To set radar to transmit Check and adjust bearing alignment 1. Press the Power button on the Keyboard. 2. Press the RADAR TX/STDBY softkey and set to TX. Note: For 2 scanner systems there are individual ON/OFF and TX/ STDBY keys for each scanner. Check and adjust the radar bearing alignment to ensure that radar objects appear at the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You will need to check the radar bearing alignment for any scanner installation that is not aligned with the boat.
8.4 2. Note the position of the object on the radar display. If the target is not under the Ships heading marker (SHM), there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. GPS checks To adjust the bearing alignment The GPS is required to show your boat position on the chart. You can set up your GPS and check its status using the GPS status icons and the GPS Status page of the Setup menu.
8.5 Typical GPS status screen Fishfinder checks For the fishfinder window to function the system must be connected to a digital sounder (e.g. DSM400). To select a fishfinder screen: 0 0 0 0 • Press the PAGE key to select from the current page set. • Press and hold the PAGE key to select from all available screens. 0 0 0 0 00001.

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting This section gives details for the troubleshooting the system. It covers common problems that may occur during test and commissioning.
9.1 Troubleshooting Power up Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • The system (or part of it) does not power up. • Power supply problem • Check relevant fuses and breakers. • Check that the power supply cable is sound and that all connections are tight and free from corrosion. • Check that the power source is of the correct voltage and sufficient current. Marine Monitors Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Monitor is blank. • The monitor is in standby mode.
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • The keyboard does not operate monitor setting menus. • On or more monitors are not listed when configuring the monitors or Nav Stations. • SeaTalkhs network problem • Check the status of the SeaTalkhs Switch. Refer to troubleshooting SeaTalkhs Switch LED indications on page 98 • Check the marine monitor and ensure that the network selector switch is in the “up” position (required when connected to the SeaTalkhs network).
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Keypresses result in improper or no action at the display. • Software mismatch between equipment may prevent communication. • Contact Raymarine technical support • Keyboard does not control the expected monitor or Nav Station. • Keyboard is not assigned to the correct Nav Station(s). • Assign keyboard to Nav station (see Assign Keyboards on page 78).
Problem Possible causes Possible solutions • Radar will not initialize (Voltage control module (VCM) stuck in “sleep mode”) • Intermittent or poor power connection. • Check power connection at VCM. (Voltage at input = 12 V, Voltage at output = 40 V) • Switch at scanner pedestal in OFF position. • Ensure scanner pedestal switch is in ON position. • The radar bearing alignment requires correcting. • Perform the bearing alignment procedures. (See Check and adjust bearing alignment on page 84).
Video Problem Possible cause / solution Possible solutions Video picture is unavailable at some or all Nav stations. • Video signal is not reaching the GVM400 video module. • Check the video source equipment. • Check the video connections to the GVM400 unit. • GVM400 video module or power supply problem. • Check the GVM400 status. See troubleshooting GVM400 LED indications on page 100. • Check the GVM400 power supply. Refer to troubleshooting Power up on page 92.
Data Problem Possible cause / solution Possible solutions • Instrument or other system data is unavailable at all Nav Stations. • Data not received at Master GPM. • Check the data bus (e.g. SeaTalkng) wiring and connection to the master GPM. • Check the overall integrity of the data bus (e.g. SeaTalkng) wiring. • If available refer to the reference guide for the data bus. (e.g. SeaTalkng reference manual) • Data source (e.g ST70 instrument) is not operating. • Check the source of the missing data (e.
Fishfinder • Problem • Possible cause / solution • Possible solutions • No data source for the fishfinder. • DSM power supply fault. • Check the DMS power supply. Refer to troubleshooting Power up on page 92. • Other DSM fault. • Refer to the instructions supplied with the DSM unit. • SeaTalkhs network problem. • Check that the DSM is correctly connected to the SeaTalkhs switch. • Check the status of the SeaTalkhs Switch. Refer to troubleshooting Status LEDs on page 98.
