The power leads should normally be routed to the ship’s DC power distribution panel on larger boats. The RAY430 is fused at 10 amps so connection to a 10 amp or (maximum of) 15 amp circuit breaker is recommended. On smaller vessels the power leads may be connected directly to the main battery, isolation switch, or circuit breaker. For best noise isolation from other shipboard electronics avoid grouping the loudhailer power connections with radar, radio, or echo sounder power leads tog

2.5.3 Hailer Horn(s) The outside hailer horns should be mounted facing away from the display unit to prevent feedback problems using the universal swivel mount provided. High gain audio amplifier circuits “hailers” are susceptible to high frequency audio oscillations (a.k.a. feedback). It is highly recommended that be- fore permanently mounting the hailing horn, that the HAIL feature is tested with the horn in the desired location. This should be done to ensure optimum performance.
