[CA] [CA11] Gs165 Issues

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Drifter2,

Large monitors utilize a significant amount of power for illumination and correspondingly generate much heat. The gS-Series MFDs Installation Instructions specify that the installer ensure the MFD is installed within an enclosure of suitable size and be permitted adequate airflow. Installation a fan (to vent heat from the space) or air conditioning the space behind the mounting surface is a common installation practice. This is particularly important when the mounting location will expose the MFD and/or mounting enclosure to direct sunlight in hot climates.

It is recommended that proper ventilation be provided to the MFD. After doing so, should the MFD continue to power cycle, then it would be recommended that you respond with the MFD's temperature diagnostics (HOME->SET-UP->MAINTENANCE->DIAGNOSTICS->SELECT DEVICE; Select the gS165 MFD from the list of devices and respond with all temperatures listed within the Product Voltage and Temperature section of the listed diagnostic information for the gS165 MFD.
