3.4 Installing Scanner Unit
When you have decided the place of installation, install the scanner unit. If a mount base like the one shown
below is available, it may be easier to install the scanner. If such a mount base is not available in your ship, you
may install the scanner directly to the roof, etc. In such a case, pay attention to the water drain tube located at the
bottom of the scanner unit during installation.
Note : When the radar mast or mounting bracket has a curvature of more than 2mm, repair it or use spacers.
Referring to Fig.3-4, open holes in diameter of 12 mm (0.47 in.) at five locations in the mount base and use
these holes to fix the scanner unit to the mount base with hexagonal bolts. (Use the template included with this
manual.) The bolts included with your radar equipment will suffice for mount base thickness of 9 to 14 mm (0.35
to 0.55 in.). If the mount base is thicker or thinner than this, prepare bolts listed in Tab.3-4.
Use sealing of silicon when you prevent the bolts from becoming loose. Radome may be broken if you use
locking putty.
