best industry standards for use in the recreational marine design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate 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 productThe guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipmentFor optimum EMC performance it is recommended that wherever equipment and cables connected to it are safetyMake sure you have switched OFF the power supply before you start installing this the EMC installation guidelines page 92Mount the drive page 113Connect to the course computerpage 154Complete the check page 16811755book Page 9 Wednesday February 7 2007 346 PM10At least 3 ft 1 m from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals eg VHF radios cables and antennas In the case of SSB radios the distance should be increased to 7ft 2mMore than 7 ft 2 m from the path of a radar beam A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating elementThe equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start Voltage drops below 10V 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 modeRaymarine specified cables are used Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manualIf 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 ferritesThe following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine This product has ferrites mounted internally Figure 3Typical suppression to other equipmentIf 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 Page 10 Wednesday February 7 2007 346 PMTM 112 Mounting the driveMounting the drive unit involves four main steps ensuring correct drive the drive to the boatconnecting the drive to the steering a steering checkDrive alignmentWhen mounting the linear drive unit check that it is aligned correctly The main drive assembly must be at right angles to the mounting surface see Figure 4 The drive unit must be at right angles to the tiller arm when the rudder is amidships see Figure 4 Figure 4Drive unit alignmentThe push rod must be accurately aligned with the tiller arm plane of rotation The ball end fitting only allows up to 5 degrees misalignment between the push rod and tiller arm plane of rotation see Figure 5 angular alignment is extremely important You must not exceed this 5 degree limit under any circumstancesA mid stroke90

suitability of the mounting location Structural strengthThis drive produces a considerable amount of force so you must mount it on a solid structure ie a substantial frame membern the boat In some cases you may need to build a special frame to mount the drive unit To prevent excess noise and vibration do not attach this drive to any structures that support cabins Drive orientationYou can attach the drive unit mounting foot to any suitable horizontal or vertical surface If required you can also mount the drive unit upside down General positionRefer to the EMC installation guidelines page 9Make sure the drive will be accessible for future servicing drive is not waterproof so you should mount it in a dry location clear of any bilge water the boat manufacturer if you have any doubt about the strength or suitability of the mounting Max5 Max811755book Page 12 Wednesday February 7 2007 346 PMTM 13Securing boltsAttach the mounting foot with four stainless steel M10 38 incholts and lock nutslock washers Note Always mount the drive as securely as possible to make sure it performs reliably and remains correctly aligned Connecting to the steering system This drive produces a considerable amount of force so you must ensure that your tiller arm or rudder quadrant can cope with the peak thrust specified in the Table 11 Drive one of these methods to attach the push rod to the rudder tiller arm we recommend that you attach the linear drive unit to the rudder stock via an independent tiller arm theEdson and Whitlock companies offer standard fittings for their steering systems 2Steering linkage tiller arm or rudder quadrant in certain cases you may be able to attach the push rod to the same tiller arm or rudder quadrant used by the main steering linkage Consult the steering manufacturer before you modify the rudder quadrant Attaching the rod endUse the supplied tiller pin assembly to attach the rod end to the tiller arm at the tiller arm radius shown in Figure 4 1Attach the tiller pin to the tiller arminsert the tiller pin through the tiller arm hole so the flange remains above the arm see Figure 6 make sure that the tiller pin is a tight fit in the tiller armuse the supplied lock washer and fully tighten the lock nut Note If necessary you will need to drill a 13mm 052inole in the tiller arm at the radius shown in Figure 4 2Attach the rod end to the tiller pin place the rod end onto the tiller pinsecure with the supplied washer and Rclip see Figure 6 the steering gear manufacturer if you have any doubt about the strength of the existing tiller arm or rudder Page 13 Wednesday February 7 2007 346 PM14 Figure 6Attaching the push rod to the tiller armSteering checkWhen you have mounted the drive unit turn the boats steering wheel from hardover to hardover and check that Angular movement of the ball end fitting is less than 5 degrees see Figure 5 f you exceed this 5 degree limit the drive will catch on the tiller armrudder quadrant and the ball joint will bindNo part of the drive unit fouls the boats structure when the push rod moves in and out The total rudder movement is limited to 35 degrees by the steering system end stops rather than the linear drives end limits see Figure 7 Figure 7Total rudder movement CAUTIONLinear driveMake sure rudder movement is limited by the steering system end stops before the push rod reaches its end stop Failure to do this could damage the drive and will invalidate the armFlangeHole diameter13 mm 052 inD50761Tiller pinWasherRod endRclipLock systemend stopSteering systemend Page 14 Wednesday
