6 Raymarine SR100 Sirius Weather System - Installation Guide
Cable runs
CAUTION: Cables
DO NOT cut cables or remove connectors as this will severely
reduce system performance.
If a longer cable is required you will need to purchase a
replacement cable from a suitable dealer.
If a shorter cable is required, coil excess cable neatly and
secure out of the way.
Consider the following points before installing the system cables:
• You will need to connect the antenna, ethernet and power cables to
the receiver.
• All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical
damage and exposure to heat.
• Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving
or hot objects.
• Acute bends must be avoided.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a
watertight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
• DO NOT cut the cables or remove the connectors.
• DO NOT pull cables through bulkheads using a cord attached to the
connector. This could damage the connector.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra
cable and secure it out of the way.

• Power cable.
