C.A.R.D. SYSTEM COMPONENTS The Antenna with a standard 25 foot cable The Display Unit (Control Module) This Manual INDEX: Warning Page 2 Components Page 3 How your C.A.R.D.
The antenna portion of the unit has four directional receivers that correspond to the four relative display lights on the control unit. A ship operating radar in a frequency from 3 to 10 centimeters emits a stream of mcrowave pulses as their antenna rotates. When these pulses strike one or more of the detectors in the C.A.R.D. antenna, they are processed to light up the corresponding display. The intensity of the signal will determine the number of lights that will be illuminated.
Unit Installation If you chose to have someone install the C.A.R.D. system for you, ensure that this manual is available to them. It contains important installation information which may or may not be familiar to the service personnel. Save this manual for future reference. Technical Support Group is at your service anytime at: 1- 888 - 475 -5364 The C.A.R.D. system antenna unit should be mounted so as to be free of obstructions as possible .
For the antenna cable installation, you have three options : 1) Determine a cable route that does not require deck penetration; or 2) Cut the cable to permit deck penetration , and rejoin the cable using NEWMAR splash proof junction box Model BX-1 or equivalent available at your local marine supply store; or 3) If you choose not to cut the cable, you may use a waterproof cable feed-through deck fitting for use with cable with installed cable connector, NEWMAR Model CCX-P or equivalent, also available at you

CONTROL MODULE WARNING The Display Module IS NOT WATER RESISTANT ! When choosing a location find one that remains dry. Your navigation station should qualify. Mount the control module in a convenient location where you can observe the display . Connect the power cable to a reliable power source of 12 volts D.C.. It is suggested that you run the power cable to your distribution panel and not parallel to any other circuits . Connect the red wire to positive and the black wire to the ground.

The control panel has a dial that when turned clockwise will activate the system and sets the level of sensitivity.The toggle switch will select the level of audio desired. Since radar transmissions travel line-of-sight, the distance at which a target is detected is dependent primarily on two factors : the height of the transmitting antenna and the height of your receiving antenna...Thus, if the C.A.R.D.
light from the signal reflected from the coast as well as one from the primary source. Again, by rotating the sensitivity knob a few degrees clockwise, the reflected signal should disappear. A remote horn can be installed using the pin #7 of the antenna plug. Remove the shell covering plug. Locate pin #7 (this is the only one without a wire). Connect a wire to the negitive side of the buzzer. The positive side of the buzzer is connected to the positive side of your battery.

Double check that all connections are secure and are set up according to the instructions. Turn the sensitivity control knob clockwise until all segments of the display are lit, then continue to turn the sensitivity control clockwise until all the indicator lights go out. The point where the lights just extinguish is the point of the highest sensitivity. This is much like setting the squelch on a VHF Marine Radio.
