1. INSTALLATION
3
Installation with the radiotelephone equipment
• Install the radome away from radiocommunication antennas (SSB, VHF, Inmarasat)
and GPS antenna to prevent radar interference.
• Install the radome away from the radiotelephone equipment so that electrical noise
does not affect the radiotelephone equipment.
Cable routing
• In order to reduce the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid, where pos-
sible, routing the power/
LAN
cable and cable assembly near other electrical equip-
ment on-board. Also, avoid running the cable in parallel with other electrical cables.
• Make sure that the power/
LAN
cable and cable assembly do not run horizontally and
it is placed away from the cables carrying radio signal and antennas.
For large vessels
• When this radar sensor is to be installed on a large vessel, consider the following
points:
• The length of the pre-attached power/LAN cable is 1 m from radome to the con-
nector.
• The length of the standard supply cable assembly is 15 m from the connector to
the power supply and display.
• The power/
LAN
cable which runs between the radar sensor, power supply and
display comes in lengths of 10 m, 15 m, 20 m or 30 m. Select the length when
purchasing.
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the
aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The radar sen-
sor must not be mounted where the temperature is more than 55°C (131°F).
1.2
Installation of the Radar Sensor
Determine the suitability of the mounting location
BEFORE
permanently mounting the
sensor. Incoming and outgoing signals may overlap one another depending on the
shape of the vessel, preventing communication between the radar and display. Set the
sensor on the selected location and connect the sensor to the distribution switchboard
and display unit. Turn on the sensor and the display unit. Check that the picture is up-
dated with each sweep on the display unit. Some trial and error may be necessary to
find a suitable location.
Required tools for installation
Prepare the tools shown to the right.
• A wrench for M10 bolts
• An electric drill with
11 mm (0.43”) drill bit
