1.5 Cable wiring and interconnection
1.5.1 Antenna Scanner unit
(1)
The connecting cable between the Antenna-Scanner unit and the Display unit should run apart
from any other radio antenna cable or power cables of the other devices. Do not lay the radar cable
in parallel to the sea surface together with other cables. These considerations are effective to
prevent random radio interference between systems. When these measures cannot be applied
because of space limitations, use metal pipes for each cable or other suitable ways to shield.
(2)
In order to maximize the performance of the radar, the antenna cable and the power cable should
be as short as possible, and should be laid within the nominal length.
(3)
Connect the shielded braided wire of the antenna cable to the grounding terminal inside the
Antenna unit
1.5.2 Display unit
(1) Ground the braided wire of a cable firmly with the cable clamp fixing screw to the back panel.
(2) The Display unit housing should be grounded to the ship ground by using the ground terminal of the
back panel.
