Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Raymarine's RAY215E marine radiotelephone. This handbook describes the physical and functional characteristics of the radiotelephone. The RAY215E is a microprocessor-controlled, digitally synthesized, compact transceiver that provides reliable simplex and semi-duplex (twofrequency) communications. The RAY215E provides two-way communications on Marine channels and up to 10 private channels. The RAY215E can transmit and receive on all available International marine VHF radiotelephone channels. With a software upgrade, the RAY215E can also communicate on the US channel set. Refer to the of Frequency Tables in Section 6, which list all marine VHF channels available in your RAY215E. You should familiarize yourself with these tables to ensure proper channel usage.

Equipment Features

The RAY215E is designed and manufactured to provide ease of operation with excellent reliability. The important built-in features of the equipment are listed below. Exclusive circuit that automatically selects Channel 16 when the radio is turned on Dedicated key for switching to Channel 16 when using another channel Waterproof to CFR-46 standard for Base Station Waterproof to JIS-7 standard for Minimum Function Handset and Optional Full Function Handset Full Class D DSC functionality (when using optional Full Function Handset) Dedicated DISTRESS key on back of handset, with spring loaded protective cover (DSC functions require Full Function Handset) All Scan and Memory Scan features ATIS operation Private Channels (requires license) Multi-Call operation Dual/Tri-Watch Monitor modes
Intercom operation between Minimum Function Handset and Optional Full Function Handset (second station) Distant/local mode
Minimum / Full Function Handset Options
The RAY215E can be operated with the standard Minimum Function Handset, an optional Full Function Handset with additional features, or both. Operation with both units installed enables intercom capabilities between the two stations. The Minimum Function Handset features up/down channel select keys, Channel 16 selection button, plus a quick access Distress key. The optional Full Function Handset provides you with all the features of the Minimum Function Handset plus a full alphanumeric keypad, expanded LCD display, volume and squelch level controls, and full Class D DSC functions, including: DSC Distress calls, dedicated keys for Individual and All Ships DSC calls, and expanded ship and shore phonebooks for making DSC Individual calls. Note: When a Full Function Handset is NOT installed, the unit is not a Class D DSC radio, and will have only basic functionality. You will not have access to DSC functions or NMEA (GPS) position data operation. If ATIS is enabled, it will be active all the time you will not be able to disable it. The Single Station Full Function Handset with cradle (Raymarine part number E46020) is used in lieu of the Minimum Function Handset. The Dual Station Full Function Handset (Raymarine part number E46022), which includes a cradle and external speaker, is used in conjunction with the Minimum Function Handset to enable intercom communications between the two stations. Note: The RAY215E is designed to have the base station as the priority unit. Therefore, Raymarine recommends installing the base station in the radio operating room or the location from which the ship is normally navigated. If an optional second station Full Function Handset is also installed, that handset should be installed in the remote location. Section 3 describes using the RAY215E with the Minimum Function Handset. See Section 4 for a complete discussion of operation using the optional Full Function Handset.

You must have the appropriate license and your RAY215E must be programmed to use the private channel(s) that are approved for your country. Note: A license is required to operate the radio on the private channels. It is your responsibility to obtain the proper license to operate the radio on these frequencies. Use of Private Channels requires an upgrade from your dealer / distributor.
To select the Private Channel: 1. Simultaneously press and release the SCAN/MEM and MON/1/25 keys. The assigned private channel number appears in the large channel display. If multiple Private Channels are available, the first channel number appears. Pc appears in the small channel display. 2. If multiple Private Channels are available, turn the CH knob until the desired Private Channel number appears. The displayed Private Channel number is selected. Pressing SCAN/MEM initiates Scan mode, which includes the Private Channel in the list of channels being scanned. Pressing MULTI initiates a Tri-Watch monitoring of the Private, Priority, and Working Channels. The Private Channel appears in the large channel display, the Working Channel appears in the small channel display, and the MON indicator flashes. To exit the Private Channel, press the SCAN/MEM and MON/1/25 keys again or press the 16 key to switch to the Priority Channel 16.

However, if no signal is detected, the NMEA indicator flashes and a 5second-long staccato alert tone is emitted. The NMEA indicator continues to flash until valid positional data is received. If valid positional data (from the same source) is later restored, the NMEA indicator is again displayed solid. Operation When No Signal Detected for 4 Hours If no valid positional data is received or input manually using the Full Function Handset within 4 hours of the previous alert, the NMEA indicator continues to flash and the staccato alert tone is again emitted. This pattern is repeated every 4 hours if no positional data has been detected. If no manual input was made during the previous 23.5 hours, all the position fields are set to 9s and the time and date fields are set to 8s.

3.5.18

Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
The Digital Selective Calling (DSC) protocol is a globally applied system used to send and receive digital Distress calls as well as Individual and All Ships calls on channel 70, the dedicated DSC channel for Marine VHF. For a Distress call transmission, your RAY215E takes the position and time information from the input NMEA data along with your Maritime Mobile Station Identifier (MMSI) and converts it into a digital packet. When transmitted, this digital information lets other ships and shore stations equipped with appropriate DSC equipment know where you are and that you are in a Distress situation. In the RAY215E, Class D DSC functionality is enabled by installing an optional Full Function Handset. This can be in the form of Single Station (Raymarine part number E46020) that replaces the Minimum Function Handset or as a Dual Station (Raymarine part number E46022) that, when used in conjunction with a Minimum Function Handset, enables intercom functions between the two stations. Note: DSC functions are enabled only when an optional Full Function Handset has been installed. If no Full Function Handset is attached, none of the following features will operate. Communications in DSC mode include the following: 1. Transmitting/Receiving an Individual Call 2. Transmitting/Receiving an All Ships Call 3. Transmitting/Receiving a Distress Call (without designating type) 4. Receiving a Distress Relay Call (without designating type)

Storage in memory of Weather Channels or Private Channels is disabled. When storage of these channels is attempted, the registration is terminated and an error alert tone sounds. Storing Channels in Memory From the Working Channel mode, select the channel to be stored. Press the FUNC key followed by the 1/MEM key. The MEM indicator appears when the registration is complete.

4.6.16

Monitor operation can be implemented in one of two modes: Dual-Watch or Tri-Watch. Note: Monitor modes are disabled when the ATIS operation is active. Dual-Watch In Dual-Watch Mode, the RAY215E operates on the Working Channel or Private Channel while constantly monitoring the Priority Channel 16. The radio locks onto the Priority, Working, or Private Channel whenever it becomes active, then returns to Dual-Watch when there is no activity. To start Dual-Watch Mode, select the desired Working Channel or Private Channel, and then press the MON key. The Working Channel or Private Channel is displayed on the 7-segment display and the Priority Channel appears on the right side of the dot matrix display. To end Dual-Watch mode at the current channel, press the MON key or the CLR key.
Tri-Watch When the RAY215E is using the International frequency set, Tri-Watch monitors the Working Channel or Private Channel, the Priority Channel 16, and the previously selected Multi-Call channel. When a signal is detected on the Working, Private, Priority, or Multi-Call Channels, that channel becomes active. When there is no longer any activity on the channel, the RAY215E returns to Tri-Watch. If the RAY215E has received an upgrade to use the US channel set and US mode is selected, Tri-Watch monitors the Working Channel, the Priority Channel 16, and the previously selected Weather Channel for severe weather alert broadcasts. When a signal is detected on the Working or Priority Channel, that channel becomes active. When there is no longer any activity on the Working Channel or Priority Channel, the RAY215E returns to Tri-Watch. If a weather alert broadcast is detected, the RAY215E emits an alert tone and the WX indicator blinks. Tri-Watch mode terminates and the radio switches to the WX channel to monitor the severe weather broadcast. To start Tri-Watch mode, select the Working Channel or Private Channel, and then press the FUNC key followed by the MON/TRI key. The Working Channel appears on the 7-segment display, the Priority Channel appears on the right-most portion of the dot matrix display, and the Multi-Call or Weather Channel appears on the left-most portion of the dot matrix display. (If the Private Channel is being used, the Working Channel appears in the left-most portion of the dot matrix display.) To end Tri-Watch mode at the current channel, press the MON key or the CLR key.

4.6.17

When outfitted with a Full Function Handset, the RAY215E can receive valid position and time information, which are transmitted during a DSC Distress call. This data can be communicated via NMEA 0183 from a GPS, fishfinder, radar, or any device that outputs GPS sentences. If the radio does not detect the positional data, it provides different alerts urging you to find and correct the fault or manually input the data using the radios L/L ENT function, as described in Section 4.7.3.2. Current valid positional data, whether from external device or manually input, can be viewed using the NAVSTAT Operation described in Section 4.7.2.
