The RAY430 Loudhailer is a multipurpose device that may be used as a ship-to-shore hailer, ship-toship hailer, foghorn, audio amplifier, intercom, and/or alarm system. As a loudhailer, the RAY430 amplifies your voice up to a 30 watt level, for hailing through the hailing horn speaker, and when listening for replies, amplifies the incoming sounds to the desired listening level. If an additional (optional) horn is added to the system, the loudhailer output can be switched to either or both of the hailing horn positions by the front panel control. To verify your ownership and warranty registration, you should take a few minutes and fill out your warranty registration card found just inside the front cover of this manual. It is very important that you take the time to fill this card out. The warranty registration card should be returned to the factory immediately after your purchase in order to receive full warranty benefits. Section 5 in this manual provides further information on obtaining Customer Service and Product Support which is available to you as a valued customer. 1.2 EQUIPMENT FEATURES The RAY430 is designed and manufactured to provide ease of installation and operation with excellent reliability. Some of the important built-in features of the equipment are listed below. The loudhailer horns(s) are used as sound dispersal points when the RAY430 is used as a foghorn so that the full 30 watt output of the unit can be employed. In the foghorn mode any of six programmed foghorn patterns can be automatically generated. They are: Underway, Stopped, Sail, Tow, Anchored, and Aground. INTERCOM -- Provides 2-way communication between the display unit and up to 4 connected remote units, which can also originate a call to the display unit. AUXILIARY MODE -- Allows the selective or simultaneous transmission of an external audio input to all stations. For entertainment, the external audio can be a cassette deck, radio, or CD player. For business, it can also be any other instrument having an external audio output, such as the output from a VHF or SSB radiotelephone. 1-1 EXTERNAL ALARM CONNECTION -- For external systems or security alarm sensors. EASY TO USE -- An ideal arrangement, the RAY430 has an illuminated keyboard and LCD which clearly shows all selected stations and operating modes. DURABLE, WATERPROOF CONSTRUCTION -- With rugged gaskets and our heavy-duty microphone the RAY430 is built to survive in the toughest marine environments. SILICONE RUBBER KEYBOARD -- Has backlighting for easy night-time viewing and operation. OPTIONAL FLUSH-MOUNT KIT -- For attractive customized mounting into overhead instrument cabinets or in the console of your bridge. 1.3 SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions: Weight Power supply Audio Output 4 3/4 x 9 3/16 x 4 1/2 inches (121 x 234 x 114 mm) Height x Width x Depth Approximately 1.9 Kg (4.3 lbs) 13.6 VDC nominal (±20%) 5 amps or less Hail Spkr 30W Intercom Spkr 4.5W Ext.

It is also a good practice to save the carton and the interior packing material. The original packing material should be used in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary in the future to return the unit for service. 2.2 EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED The following is a list of the standard equipment included with your RAY430 Loudhailer. Equipment Name RAY430 Loudhailer Unit Hailer Horn Microphone Microphone Mounting Bracket Mounting Yoke Bridge Card Instruction Manual Part No. M95997 M95435 G263596-2 G263596-3 G263596-4 G263647-4 G263647-5 2-1 2.2.1 Optional Accessories Item # 1 2 3 4 5 6 Description Console Mounting Kit (Flush Mount) Console Mounting Kit (Trim Ring Style) Power Supply, 115/220 VAC to 1 2 VDC Sun Cover Intercom Speaker Hailer Horn Part No. M95990 M95995 M59733 G263696- 1 M95998 M95435 2.3 STORAGE After all of the components have been unpacked and inspected, they should be replaced in their shipping containers and stored in a dry place until they are to be installed. The storage area should be dry, well-ventilated and not subjected to temperature extremes below -20°C or above +55 °C. 2-2 2.4 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION When planning the location for your RAY430 to be installed, the following conditions should be considered to insure dependable and trouble-free operation. 1) The mounting location should be easily accessible to allow easy operation of the front panel and provide the best viewing angle of the display. 2) There should be adequate ventilation. 3) A sufficient space should be secured behind the unit to allow all cable connections to the rear panel terminal strip. 4) The mounting place should be located as near to the power source as possible. 5) The selected location should be isolated away from devices that may cause offending noise or interference, such as motors, steering cables and generators. 6) Generally speaking, the Loudhailer should be protected from prolonged direct exposure to rain and salt spray. It is a good practice to protect this valuable equipment as much as possible. The unit can be conveniently mounted on a chart table, bulkhead, overhead or any other desired place.
