■

Mounting the EX-2714 scanner unit

D

Location

The scanner unit is designed for high-pressure water
jet resistance (except for the cable connectors). Select
a place for installation which meets the following im-
portant conditions.

➥

The scanner unit must be near the boat’s center line
and have a good view in every direction. Be sure
there are no objects in the surrounding area which
will interfere with the scanning beam.

➥

Keep the scanner unit away from any exhaust pipes.
Exhaust gas can damage the unit.

➥

When the boat is equipped with a Radio Directional
Finder (RDF) system, keep the scanner unit at least
2 m (6.6 ft) away from any RDF antenna.

• Radiation from the scanner unit can affect the measure

-

ment data of RDF equipment.

➥

The unit should be placed as high as possible on

the boat to obtain best performance with maximum
range.

➥

If you install two or more radar in one boat, install
one above, and the other(s) below.

➥

The

mounting surface must be parallel with the

boat’s waterline.

➥

If the height is insufficient to install the scanner unit,
build a special frame for installation.

D

Mounting

q

Drill four holes, 12 mm (0.47 in) in diameter using
the supplied template.

w

If the mounting surface or platform is metal, apply a
sealing compound around the holes to prevent cor-
rosion and to waterproof the unit.

e

Attach the scanner unit to the selected position with
the supplied bolts (M10

×

50 mm or M10

×

25 mm; de-

pending on your installation needs), flat and spring

washers.

CAUTION: SECURE

the four bolts firmly.
