E-Series Installation Manual
3. 2 Cables
This section details how to instal and connect all the relevant cables to your E-Series Display.
Siting and securing cables
When installing system cables, please note the following: · All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. If it proves necessary to pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord, this should be attached several inches behind the connector. · Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight feed-through should be used. · Do not remove the SeaTalk High Speed blanking plug from the rear of the display until such time as you are ready to connect the cable. Failure to adhere to this, may result in the ingress of water and permanent damage to the display.
Connecting cables
CAUTION: Do not remove the SeaTalk High Speed blanking plug from the rear of the display until such time as you are ready to connect the cable. Failure to adhere to this may result in the ingress of water and permanent damage to the display. To ensure that your E-Series Display functions correctly, you will need to connect the following cables: · SeaTalk/Alarm Out cable (if SeaTalk system connected). · NMEA cable (if third party equipment, NMEA multiplexer, fast heading sensor, RS232 interface or course computer fitted). · SeaTalk High Speed cable (if a DSM or second display is fitted). · Video In cable (if a video player, on-board camera or DVD player fitted). · VGA Out cable (if an M1500 monitor or additional screen is fitted). · Power cable.

How do I use the cable splicers?
The cable splicers are used to make the connections from the SeaTalk/Alarm out and NMEA 0183 cables easy and secure, without removing insulation from cable tails.
Note: Do not use cable splicers on any cables other than SeaTalk/Alarm out and NMEA 0183.
To use these connectors: 1. Place the wires to be joined into the connectors, ensuring correct polarity and that the wires are pushed fully home.

Cable types
This sections details the various cables used by your display. Please read these guidelines carefully and ensure that you follow the recommendations given.
Power cable (R89005)
The E-Series Display is intended for use on boats' DC power systems rated at 12v or 24v. The power connection should be made at either the output of the battery isolating switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine recommends that power is fed directly to the display and scanner via its own dedicated cable system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, installed close to the power connection. Do not fit switches or circuit breakers in such a way that power may be removed from part of the E-Series networked system while leaving the rest of the system running, as this may result in unit malfunction. This cable is supplied ready for connecting to your boats DC power supply, with a length of screen exposed before the positive and negative wire tails. This screen should be clamped to your boat's earth/ground with a saddle clamp, as shown below:
Step 1 Slide towards tails
Pre-cut line Step 2 Attach to ship's ground

[. . . ] My display switches off · Check power input connection is secure at the rear of the Display(s). · Check your boat's power supply for faulty connections or insufficient cable diameter. No link between E-Series Displays · Check all units are switched on. · Check SeaTalk High Speed cable is not of third party manufacture. [. . . ]
