How to fix Raymarine Marine Equipment radar that will not initialize (Voltage control module (VCM) stuck in “sleep mode”)?
If your Raymarine radar won't initialize due to the Voltage Control Module (VCM) being stuck in 'sleep mode', the cause might be an intermittent or poor power connection. Check the power connection at the VCM, ensuring the input voltage is 12/24V and the output voltage is 40V.
What causes Raymarine A series radar to not initialize?
If the radar on your Raymarine Marine Equipment will not initialize and the Voltage Control Module (VCM) is stuck in “sleep mode”, check the power connection at the VCM. Ensure the voltage at the input is 12/24V and the voltage at the output is 40V. The issue could be due to an intermittent or poor power connection.
Why isn't the touchscreen working on my Raymarine A series Marine Equipment?
If the touchscreen on your Raymarine Marine Equipment does not operate as expected, ensure that the touch lock is disabled. The touch lock can be turned off on the home screen using the Joystick. Also, make sure you are operating the screen with bare fingers, as gloves may prevent correct operation. Calibrate the touchscreen using the setup menus. If there are saltwater deposits on the screen, carefully clean and dry the screen according to the provided instructions.
What to do if video is not displayed on Raymarine Marine Equipment?
If the video is not displayed on your Raymarine Marine Equipment, the camera may be in Standby mode. Use the camera controls (either the thermal camera application or JCU) to wake the camera from standby. Check the thermal camera video cables to ensure they are sound and properly connected, and ensure that the video is connected into video input 1 at the multifunction display or GVM. Also, ensure that the correct video input is selected at the display. Check the power connections to the camera and JCU/PoE injector (if used), and ensure that the power switch/breaker is on and the fuse/breaker is in good condition.
Why are the controls on my Raymarine A series erratic?
If you are experiencing erratic or unresponsive controls on your Raymarine Marine Equipment, check that the controller and thermal camera are correctly connected to the network. Verify the status of the Raymarine network switch and ensure that SeaTalkhs/RayNet cables are free from damage. Ensure that no other controllers are in use at the same time to avoid control conflicts. Check the power/network cabling to the controller and PoE injector (if PoE is only used with optional Joystick Control Unit). If available, check other controllers to eliminate the possibility of a more fundamental camera fault.
Why is the image on my Raymarine Marine Equipment too dark?
If the image on your Raymarine Marine Equipment is too dark or too light, use the brightness controls at the display to adjust accordingly. Adjust the contrast and brightness of the image using the appropriate menu in the thermal camera application. A different Scene Mode setting may be more appropriate for the current conditions; use the SCENE button to adjust.
How to fix incorrect radar bearing on Raymarine A series?
If the radar bearing of a target on the Raymarine Marine Equipment screen is incorrect, check and adjust the radar bearing alignment.
Why does my Raymarine A series Marine Equipment display behave erratically?
If your Raymarine Marine Equipment display behaves erratically with frequent unexpected resets, system crashes, or other erratic behavior, check the relevant fuses and breakers. Ensure that the power supply cable is sound and that all connections are tight and free from corrosion. Also, verify that the power source provides the correct voltage and sufficient current. You may need to perform a factory reset. For software issues, go to www.raymarine.com and click on support for the latest software downloads.
Why is instrument data missing from some Raymarine A series Marine Equipment displays?
If instrument or other system data is missing from some but not all displays on your Raymarine Marine Equipment, check that all required equipment is connected to the network. Verify the status of the Raymarine network switch and ensure that SeaTalkhs/RayNet cables are free from damage. If a software mismatch between equipment is suspected, contact Raymarine technical support.
Why can't I control the thermal camera from my Raymarine A series Marine Equipment?
If you cannot control the thermal camera from the Raymarine display or keyboard, ensure the thermal camera application is running on the multifunction display, as opposed to the video application which does not have camera controls.
