Why can't I switch between thermal and visible video on my Raymarine GPS?
If you cannot switch between thermal and visible (VIS / IR) video image on your Raymarine system, verify that your camera is a dual payload model, as only these support VIS / IR switching. Ensure that the VIS / IR cable is connected from the camera to the Raymarine system.
Why are my Raymarine G-Series GPS controls erratic or unresponsive?
If you experience erratic or unresponsive controls with your Raymarine system, check that the controller and thermal camera are correctly connected to the SeaTalkhs network. Also, check the status of the SeaTalkhs switch and ensure SeaTalkhs cables are free from damage. Ensure that no other controllers are in use at the same time to avoid control conflicts. Check the power and SeaTalkhs cabling to the controller and PoE injector (if used). If available, check other controllers to rule out a fundamental camera fault.
Why doesn't my Raymarine GPS keyboard control the correct monitor?
If the Raymarine keyboard does not control the expected monitor or Nav Station, assign the keyboard to the correct Nav Station. Check the keyboard LCD to see which monitor is currently being used and use the left / right arrow keys to select between the available monitors.
Why does my Raymarine G-Series show 'No Fix'?
If the Raymarine GPS displays a “No Fix” status icon, it means it cannot determine its position. This can occur if your geographic location or current conditions are preventing a satellite fix. Periodically check to see if a fix is obtained when conditions improve or you move to another location. Also, verify that the GPS connections and cabling are correct and without faults, and that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky. For GPS installation, refer to the manufacturer's handbook for detailed instructions.
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.
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 doesn't my Raymarine GPS G-Series keyboard control the monitor menus?
If the Raymarine G-Series keyboard does not operate the monitor OSD menus, check the status of the SeaTalkhs switch. Also, check the marine monitor and ensure the network selector switch is in the up position, and that the monitor and associated GPM400 are both connected to the SeaTalkhs switch.
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.
Why can't I control my Raymarine G-Series thermal camera from the display?
If you cannot control the thermal camera from the Raymarine display or keyboard, ensure the thermal camera application is running on the multifunction display, rather than the video application, which lacks camera controls.
Why are my Raymarine GPS fishfinder depth readings inaccurate?
If you're experiencing problematic depth readings or sonar images on your Raymarine fishfinder, examine the fishfinder presets, gain, and frequency settings. Adjusting these settings can improve the clarity and accuracy of the readings based on your current conditions. Also, check the power, transducer, and other cables connected to the DSM unit to ensure they are properly connected and undamaged.
