The Radar scanner is intended for use on vessel DC power systems operating at 12 V or 24 V DC.
All power connections must be made via the VCM100 Voltage Converter Module.
The Radar scanner must NOT be connected directly to a battery.
The Radar scanner’s power cable must be connected directly to the VCM100 only.
Only one Radar scanner must be connected per VCM100 unit. Each Radar scanner in your system requires a dedicated VCM100 unit.
The power connection between the Radar scanner and the VCM100 must be via an official Raymarine combined power-and-data cable. A 15 m (49.21 ft) combined power-and-data cable with a RayNet connector (A80229) is supplied with the following part numbers: T70408, T70410, T70412 and T70414.
Do NOT cut and re-join any part of the power cable. A range of cable lengths are available for longer cable runs. For more information, refer to: Spares and accessories
The maximum length of the Radar power cable (including all extensions) must NOT exceed 25 m (82.02 ft).
The following diagram illustrates the power connections of the combined power-and-data cable.
