Planning  
Before you install your display, plan the installation considering:  
• Power requirements  
• Cable runs  
• Display location and mounting options.  
• Optional Audio/Video Junction Box location  
• Additional ancillary parts e.g. keyboard or extra speakers.  
Power Requirements  
This display is designed to run on ships’ DC power systems rated at 12 V or 24 V.  
A 2.5m length cable is supplied for connecting the display to the ship’sDC power  
system. The DC system should be either:  
• Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the ship’s  
ground.  
• Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the ship’s ground.  
CAUTION:  
This display is not intended for use on “positive” ground vessels.  
The power input cable Earth screen connections must be connected directly  
to the ship’s ground.  
Grounding the display  
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the display. You must  
ground the display by connecting the drain wire (screen) of the power input cable  
to the nearest ground point of the ship’s RF ground system.  
Power Connections  
The power connection to the display should be made at either the output of the  
battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine  
recommends that power is fed directly to the display via its own dedicated cable  
systemandMUST be protected bya thermalcircuit breakerorfuse, fittedcloseto  
the power connection. Refer to the table below for isolator switch, circuit breaker  
or fuse value ratings. Check all terminal connections are clean.

Extending the Power Cable  
Longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage  
drop in the cable. Ensure that the minimum voltage specification of the display is  
met at the junction of these cables when the display is operating at full brightness.  
If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to  
the display unit. Then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the  
extension cable; take particular care to ensure correct polarity and grounding of  
the screening braid to the ship’s RF ground.  
The supplied power cable has a cross-section of 12 AWG (3.3 mm2).  
Cable Runs  
You need to attach the cables shown in the illustration Connections - Typical  
Installations on page 14. Consider the following before installing the display:  
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and  
protected from exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or door-  
ways, or close to moving or hot objects.  
• Acute bends must be avoided.  
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight  
feed-through should be used.  
• Securecablesinplaceusingtie-wrapsorlacingtwine.Coilanyextracableand  
tie it out of the way.  
CAUTION:  
Do not pull the cable through the bulkheads using a cord attached to the  
connector. This could damage the connections.  
Audio/Video Junction Box (optional accessory E85003)  
Composite video or S-video inputs must be connected via the optional audio/  
video junction box; the junction box can also be used for audio input only.  
The audio input cable between the junction box and PC is 1m in length and must  
not be extended, so the audio/video junction box should be mounted adjacent to  
your PC. Connection details are provided with the audio/video junction box.  
Display Location and Mounting Options  
The display can be console mounted using the flush-mounting kit supplied.  
Alternatively, a bracket mount option (E05011) is available. The following  
section provides the display dimensions and console mounting instructions.  
Raymarine recommend that you power the unit and select a suitable mounting  
location prior to installing the display. When planning the display location, the  
following should be considered to ensure safe, comfortable and reliable  
operation:  
Convenience: The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow  
operation ofthefrontpanelcontrolsandshouldenableeasyviewingofthedis-  
play.

M1500 Marine Monitor  
Viewing angle: This LCD has been chosen to give the very best performance,  
including viewing angle. However, the contrast and colors seen on all LCD  
displays vary slightly with viewing angle.  
Access: There must be sufficient space behind the display to allow cable con-  
nections to the rear connectors, avoiding tight bends in the cable.  
Interference: The selected location should be far enough away from devices  
that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitter/  
receivers (see the EMC guidelines in this section).  
Magnetic compass: Mount the display unit at least 3 ft (1m) away from a  
magnetic compass.  
Environment: To prevent overheating, do not restrict airflow at the rear  
ofthedisplayunit;ensurethereisadequateventilation, particularlyifthe  
display unit is pod-mounted.  
Failure to do so could invalidate your warranty.  
The display should be protected from physical damage and excessive vibra-  
tion. Although the display unit is waterproof, it is good practice to mount it in  
a protected area away from prolonged and direct exposure to rain and salt  
spray.  
Do not place the display near to heat sources.  
Note: The display includes Active Thermal Management, in the unlikely event

EMC Installation Guidelines  
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for  
use in the recreational marine environment.  
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic  
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that  
performanceisnotcompromised. Althougheveryefforthasbeentakentoensurethatthey  
will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect  
the operation of the product.  
The 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 equipment.  
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:  
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:  
Atleast3ft(1m)fromanyequipmenttransmittingorcablescarryingradiosignals  
e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance  
should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).  
More 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 element.

Theequipmentissuppliedfromaseparatebatteryfromthatusedforenginestart. Volt-  
age 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.  
Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compro-  
mise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the instal-  
lation 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.  
Suppression Ferrites  
The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine  
equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.  
D3548-3  
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.

The display unit contains high voltage. Adjustments require specialized  
service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians -  
there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments and the operator should  
not attempt to service the equipment. The operator should not remove the  
aluminium front panel of the display.  
Switch off the display unit before removing the power cord.  
Routine Checks  
The display is a sealed unit. Maintenance procedures are therefore limited to the  
following periodic checks:  
• Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.  
• Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached.  
Cleaning the Display  
CAUTION:  
Take care when cleaning the display. Do not wipe the display screen with a  
dry cloth - this could scratch the screen coating.  
Do not use acid, ammonia based or abrasive products.  
1. Ensure the display is disconnected from power. Wipe the display with a clean,  
damp cloth.  
2. If necessary, use IPA (iso-propyl alcohol) or a mild detergent solution to  
remove grease marks.  
EMC Servicing and Safety Guidelines  
Raymarine equipment should be serviced onlyby authorized Raymarine service tech-  
nicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement parts used will not  
affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in any Raymarine product.  
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connectors when  
power is being supplied to the equipment.  
When powered up, 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 minimise these effects and enable  
you to get the best possible performance from your Raymarine equipment, guidelines  
are given in the installation instructions, to enable you to ensure minimum interaction  
between different items of equipment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compat-  
ibility (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. In general this will not damage the equipment but it  
can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may result in faulty operation.
