How to correct an incorrect bearing on a Raymarine Monitor radar screen?
If the bearing of a target on the radar screen is incorrect on your Raymarine monitor, check and adjust the radar bearing alignment.
How to troubleshoot a Raymarine gS Monitor when the video is not displayed?
If video is not displayed on your Raymarine monitor, check if the camera is in Standby mode and use the camera controls to wake the camera from standby. Check thermal camera video cables are sound and properly connected. Ensure that the video is connected into video input 1 at the multifunction display or GVM and that the correct video input is selected at the display. Check the power connections to the camera and JCU / PoE injector (if used). Ensure that the power switch / breaker is on and check the fuse / breaker state.
Why are my Raymarine Monitor depth readings inaccurate?
If you're experiencing problematic depth readings or sonar images on your Raymarine monitor, check the sonar presets, gain, and frequency settings. Verify the voltage from the power supply. Ensure that the power, transducer, and all other cables to the unit are properly connected and free from damage. Check that the transducer is mounted correctly and is clean. If you have a transom-mount transducer, check that the transducer hasn't kicked up due to hitting an object. Adjust scroll speed. Keep in mind that fish arches are not displayed if the vessel is stationary, fish will appear on the display as straight lines, and turbulence around the transducer may be confusing the unit if the vessel speed is high.
Why is instrument data missing on some Raymarine Monitor displays but not others?
If instrument or other system data is missing from some, but not all, Raymarine displays, check that all required equipment is connected to the network. Check the status of the Raymarine network switch and ensure that SeaTalkhs / RayNet cables are free from damage.
Why is instrument data missing from all Raymarine gS displays?
If instrument, engine, or other system data is unavailable on all Raymarine displays, check the data bus (e.g., SeaTalkng) wiring and connections, and verify the overall integrity of the data bus wiring. Also, check the source of the missing data (e.g., ST70 instrument or engine interface) and the power to the SeaTalk bus.
What to do if my Raymarine gS displays 'No Data' or 'No scanner' message?
If your Raymarine monitor shows a 'No Data' or 'No scanner' message, first check the scanner power supply cable for damage and ensure all connections are tight and free of corrosion. Verify the relevant fuses and breakers. Confirm the power source provides the correct voltage and sufficient current. Check that the scanner is correctly connected to a Raymarine network switch or SeaTalkhs crossover coupler, and verify the status of the Raymarine network switch. Also, ensure SeaTalkhs / RayNet cables are free from damage. Finally, make sure the switch at the scanner pedestal is in the ON position.
Why does my Raymarine gS show no depth reading?
If your Raymarine Monitor shows no depth reading, it could be due to the transducer location. Check that the transducer has been installed in accordance with the instructions provided with the transducer. The transducer angle may also be the problem; if the transducer angle is too great, the beam can miss the bottom, adjust the transducer angle and recheck. If the transducer has a kick-up mechanism, check that it has not kicked up due to hitting an object. Insufficient power source can also cause this. With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check the power supply voltage as close to the unit as possible to establish actual voltage when the current is flowing. Also, check the condition of the transducer ensuring it is not damaged and is free from debris / fouling.
What causes no data or no scanner message on Raymarine gS?
If you are seeing a 'No Data' or 'No scanner' message on your Raymarine monitor, there are several possible causes. First, check the radar scanner power supply. Ensure that the scanner power supply cable is sound and that all connections are tight and free from corrosion. It could also be a SeaTalkhs / RayNet network problem. Check that the Scanner is correctly connected to a Raymarine network switch or SeaTalkhs crossover coupler (as applicable). Ensure scanner pedestal switch is in ON position.
Why is sonar data not available on my Raymarine Monitor?
If sonar data is not available on your Raymarine Monitor multifunction display, check the unit's power supply and cables. Ensure that the unit is correctly connected to a Raymarine network switch. Check the status of the Raymarine network switch (if applicable). Also, check that SeaTalkhs/ RayNet cables are free from damage.
Why does my Raymarine gS have problematic data readings?
If you are getting problematic data readings on your Raymarine Monitor, first, check the sonar presets, gain, and frequency settings. Next, check the voltage from the power supply, as a low voltage can affect the unit's transmitting power. Ensure that the power, transducer, and all other cables to the unit are properly connected and free from damage. Also, check that the transducer is mounted correctly and is clean. If you have a transom mount transducer, check that the transducer hasn't kicked-up due to hitting an object. Note that fish arches are not displayed if the vessel is stationary; fish will appear as straight lines. High vessel speed may cause turbulence around the transducer, confusing the unit. Finally, adjust the scroll speed if it is set to zero.
