INSTALLATION

Installation Considerations
General considerations
• The radar sensor has no power switch. Therefore, it is recommended that you con-
nect the sensor to a distribution switchboard with a switch for power control.
Sensor placement
Select a mounting location for the antenna unit considering the following points.
• Install the unit on a common mast, radar mast, etc.
• Install the antenna unit on a solid location, for example radar arch or on a mast on
a platform. (For sailboats, a mounting bracket is optionally available.) You must put
the antenna unit where there is a good complete view. Make sure that no part of the
superstructure is within the scanning beam. Any obstruction causes shadow sec-
tors. For example, a mast with a diameter smaller than the horizontal beam width
causes only a small blind sector. A horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same
horizontal plane creates a large obstruction. Install the antenna unit above a hori-
zontal spreader or crosstrees.
NOTICE
Do not use paint, anti-corrosion products, contact spray or
other items containing organic solvents on the equipment.
Organic solvents can harm paint and plastic, particularly
the connectors.
