Ray90 wireless secondary station pack including Ray90 wireless handset and active speaker

The Raymarine Ray90 wireless secondary station pack T70434 is designed to extend the communication capabilities of your Raymarine Ray90 or Ray91 fixed VHF system. It allows adding a fully wireless secondary control station aboard your boat, providing increased flexibility and mobility without the constraints of fixed wiring.

The T70434 pack includes the following main components:

A Ray90 wireless handset. An active speaker. These items allow you to create a complete secondary station for your Ray90 or Ray91 VHF system.

The Ray90 wireless handset replicates the essential functions of the main station and provides the following controls:

Push-To-Talk (PTT) button for voice transmission.Channel Up/Down buttons for VHF channel selection.Quick access to channel 16 (+).Transmit power adjustment (HI/LO between 25 W and 1 W).DISTRESS button to trigger a DSC distress call.Integrated LCD screen.Volume and squelch controls.Integrated speaker.

The main difference lies in connectivity. Unlike wired options such as the Raymic handset (A80289), which requires direct wiring to the base station, the T70434 pack is fully wireless. This provides freedom of movement around the boat and simplifies installation by avoiding complex cable runs for a secondary station.

The active speaker included in the pack delivers clear and powerful audio playback. This sound quality is essential for effective VHF communication listening, even in noisy marine environments, ensuring that important messages are heard distinctly.

For optimal software compatibility with the wireless secondary station pack, the Raymarine Ray90 or Ray91 base station requires software version v1.61a.

One of the key advantages of this pack is that it simplifies installation by avoiding complex cable runs for a secondary station, unlike wired options. The handheld unit is wireless, but the charging cradle and active speaker require electrical connections to the boat's 12V power supply.

Yes, to optimize performance, a site survey is recommended before installation. General location requirements such as ventilation, mounting surface, cable routing, and avoiding electrical or RF interference must be considered. Wireless components should be positioned to minimize obstacles and interference sources.

The wireless handheld's charging holster must be mounted in a suitable location on board, allowing easy access for charging the handheld. It requires a connection to the boat's 12V power supply.

The active speaker can be installed using the provided mounts in a location that ensures clear and effective audio output. It is important to choose a spot where the sound will not be obstructed and where the 12V power wiring can be easily routed.

The tools commonly required for installing this type of equipment generally include:

A screwdriver (flathead and/or Phillips).A drill with suitable bits for mounting points.Cable cutting and stripping tools.A multimeter to check electrical connections.Appropriate mounting hardware (screws, washers, etc.).

To turn on the wireless handset, press and hold the power button (located on top of the handset) for about 2 seconds. To turn it off, press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds until the screen turns off. The Ray90/Ray91 base station must be powered on for the wireless handset to function.

You can switch the transmit power between High (25 W) and Low (1 W) by pressing the HI/LO button on the wireless handset. This lets you adjust the transmission range to suit your needs and comply with regulations.

To make a DSC distress call, lift the spring-loaded cover and press the dedicated DISTRESS button on the wireless handset. This action will send a digital distress signal, so it is crucial to use this function only in a real emergency.

Yes, the maximum duration for voice transmission is limited to 5 minutes per Push-To-Talk (PTT) activation. This measure is implemented to prevent accidental transmissions that could occupy a VHF channel for an extended period.

The wireless handset features Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to adjust the audio level. To switch between volume control and squelch control, press the VOL/SQ button. Once in squelch mode, use the Volume Up/Down buttons to adjust the squelch intensity.
