Raychart 601 connected to a Raytheon R41 XX Radar
Hi all
I have this issue I have done a hard reset on both units The Raychart puts the chart on the radar screen ok but after about 30 seconds, the chart plotting seems to lock up. With the exception of , you can still move the cross-hairs and only the cross hairs. no other button on the 601 does anything except the power button If you power off and then back on the 601, it will work fine for abut 30 more seconds. ANy thoughts? Thanks Mark |

ANy thoughts? Thanks Mark How does your gps work on it's own? If it is fine then the trouble is most likely in the gps connection to the raychart or the C-Map cartridge being used. I always had good results dealing with the techs from Raymarine. Maybe you can shoot them an email and they can give you some troubleshooting tips. |

WEll ... let me give you more details
The GPS is a Raytheon 398 and works great. The chart plotter is a Raytheon 601 ( I have 2 of these units) The Radar is a Raytheon R41 XX THe 601 puts the chart (only the chart) on the radar screen it works great for about 30-45 seconds then seems to lock up. But... I can move the cross-hairs on the chart plotter and the rest of the chart plotter (only the chart plotter) LOCKS UP TIGHT Everything else works fine any thoughts?

Again, I would check the hard wire connection between the gps and the chart plotter, and for a defective C-Map cartridge. Does radar show up OK on the same screen? |

Yes
the radar works fine On Fri, 24 Jun 2005 17:31:00 -0400, "*JimH*" wrote: "Big gus" wrote in message news WEll ... let me give you more details The GPS is a Raytheon 398 and works great.

In article ,
says... well the plotter displays the data on the radar screen if I dosconned the plotter from the radar, How will I know if it locked up? THanks Mark The plotter has its own screen, that was what I thought you were having trouble with, the plotter locking up. Is it actually the plotter overlay on the radar screen that is locking up? I think I have mis-understood your explaination of the problem. On Mon, 27 Jun 2005 03:20:22 -0000, (Gudmundur) wrote: In article , says...

May I first suggest disconnecting the Plotter from the 41XX and watch for lockup to occur on the plotter. If this happens, I may have an idea of what is wrong. Please reply back to the thread if I am incorrect about your interconnection routing as this will have a bearing on things. Certain Raytheon gear just doesn't co-operate with other gear correctly, and I have seen your problem before. Give me some more info on how you have things wired together, and send an email to the Raymarine techies. They are real good with help, but they don't know about some of the odd things I have seen with their equipment. I have my own service notebook. |

Yes its the plotter overlay on the radar screen that's locking up

They are real good with help, but they don't know about some of the odd things I have seen with their equipment. I have my own service notebook. As I had recommended several times already, check the connection of the plotter unit to the display unit. The wire connections to the (multi)pins in the plug can easily come undone. If the display shows the radar OK and the GPS is working OK then the first route of failure should be the interface connections from the potter and GPS to the display unit. As a last resort I would sent the hardware to Raytheon to troubleshoot. |
