How to fix Raymarine G-Series radar that won't initialize?
If your Raymarine radar 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 / 24 V, and the voltage at the output is 40 V.
How to troubleshoot Raymarine GPS system that won't start?
If your Raymarine system or a component isn't starting, the issue might stem from the power supply. Begin by inspecting the relevant fuses and breakers. Ensure the power supply cable is in good condition and that all connections are secure and free of any corrosion. Lastly, confirm that the power source matches the correct voltage and provides sufficient current.
Why is my Raymarine G-Series GPS monitor blank?
If your Raymarine monitor is blank, first ensure it is switched on and not in standby mode. If the screen remains blank, check the fuses, breakers, and power connections to the battery or originating power supply to ensure the monitor is receiving power.
Why is my Raymarine G-Series GPS keyboard LCD blank?
If the Raymarine keyboard LCD is blank, check the keyboard wiring and power to the SeaTalkng bus. If it's a wireless keyboard, connect it to the charge point to ensure it has sufficient power.
Why does my Raymarine G-Series monitor say 'Searching' or 'No signal'?
If your Raymarine monitor displays a “Searching” or “No signal” message, and your monitor is a repeater, allow a few minutes for the system to start up and see if the problem resolves itself. If not, ensure the monitor is set to the correct input channel. If using a glass bridge monitor, verify the cable from the GPM400 is connected to DVI1 on the rear of the monitor. Also, check the cable/connection between the monitor and the GPM400 processor or the appropriate signal source.
Why is the image on my Raymarine G-Series display too dark or light?
If the image on your Raymarine display is too dark or too light, use the brightness controls at the display to adjust accordingly. Also, use the appropriate softkeys in the thermal camera application to adjust the contrast and brightness of the image. A particular environment may benefit from a different Scene Mode setting.
Why can't my Raymarine G-Series GPS keyboard access monitor setting menus?
If the Raymarine keyboard does not operate monitor setting menus, ensure you are using the G-Series Command Center keyboard and not the Compact variant, as only the Command Center keyboard allows you to adjust the monitor setting menus.
Why is the image on my Raymarine G-Series display noisy?
If you are seeing a noisy image on your Raymarine display, ensure that the video cable is no longer than necessary. If the cable is picking up electromagnetic interference (EMI) from another device, use a high-quality shielded cable and ensure proper cable separation, avoiding running data and power cables in close proximity.
Why is instrument data missing from all my Raymarine G-Series displays?
If instrument, engine, or other system data is unavailable at all Raymarine displays, check the data bus (e.g., SeaTalkng) wiring and connections. Also, check the overall integrity of the data bus wiring.
Why is the Raymarine G-Series monitor picture aspect ratio incorrect?
If the Raymarine monitor picture aspect ratio is incorrect, and the GPM400 is connected to multiple monitors, ensure that all monitors connected to a single GPM400 have the same screen resolution and aspect ratio.
