Pre installation checks

Warning: A radar unit should only be installed by a quali ed marine technician, as

potentially lethal high voltage is present along with heavy rotating parts.

There is a transmit interlock that prevents radar transmissions if the antenna is not rotating.

However, a high voltage remains for a period of time after the system is turned o . If you

are not familiar with this type of electronics, consult with a trained service or installation

technician before attempting to service any part of the equipment.

Installation includes:

• mechanical mounting

• electrical wiring

• con guring the display or network system to work with the radar

• adjusting the radar for proper performance

Don’t take any shortcuts, and follow these instructions carefully!

Choose the scanner location

The radar’s ability to detect targets depends greatly on the position of its scanner. The ideal

location for the scanner is well elevated, centered over the vessel’s keel line, and clear of as

many obstacles as possible on the same plane as the antenna.

A higher installation position increases the radar ranging distance, but it also increases the

minimum range around the vessel where targets cannot be detected.
