7.1 Post installation procedures

Before using the product, carry out the following:

• Mechanical checks.

• Switch on and initial setup.

Mechanical checks

Before switching on the product:

• Ensure that:

– All securing bolts are fully tightened and the

appropriate mechanical locking washers are in
place.

– All connections are securely made.

– All connecting cables and wires are secured and

protected as necessary.

• Ask your local Raymarine authorized installer to

check the installation.

Connecting to a Radar scanner over
RayNet

Once you’ve made all the relevant power and
data connections as described in the

Cables

and connections

section, you can use the Radar

application on a compatible display to conduct
further initial tests.

For detailed instructions on how to conduct the initial
tests, refer to the

Radar application

chapter of the

Operations handbook for your display.

Note:

If you have a Wi-Fi-only variant Radar

scanner, refer to the

Pairing with a Quantum

Radar using Wi-Fi

section for information on

connecting to an MFD via Wi-Fi.

Powering on a Quantum Radar

With the radar scanner in a powered off state, and
connected to a compatible multifunction display
(MFD):
1. On the MFD, launch the Radar application.

A message box is displayed indicating that a
Radar scanner is off or “not connected”.

2. Select

On

from the onscreen message box.

The Radar will power up in Standby mode.

3. Once the Radar has powered up, select

Tx

to

start the Radar transmitting.

Radar returns will now be displayed onscreen.

Pairing with a Quantum Radar using
Wi-Fi

If your Radar scanner supports a Wi-Fi connection,
you can connect to a

LightHouse

TM

MFD which also

supports Wi-Fi. During pairing, the Wi-Fi credentials
of all MFDs with Wi-Fi switched on are sent to the

Quantum Radar. At subsequent power cycles the
Quantum Radar will automatically connect to the
MFD with the strongest signal.

Note:

1.

During initial set up you will have 10 minutes in
which to connect the Radar to your MFD. After
this time, if no connection is made, the Radar
will automatically go to Sleep. If this occurs,
power cycle the Radar to bring it out of Sleep
mode and establish a connection.

2.

Networked MFDs that only have their Wi-Fi
enabled after the initial pairing period, will
send Wi-Fi credentials to the Radar when their
Wi-Fi is switched on.

1. Apply power to your MFD(s).
2. Power on and then enable the Wi-Fi connection

to the MFDs which have the strongest signal, as
identified during the pre-installation site survey.
Usually these will be the MFDs closest to and / or
with the clearest line of sight to the Radar).

3. Apply power to your Radar scanner.
4. Select

Quantum Radar

from the External

Devices menu on the MFD: (

Homescreen >

Set-up > System Settings > External Devices
> Quantum Radar

).

5. Select

Pair with Quantum Radar

.

6. If prompted, select

Ok

to enable your MFD’s

Wi-Fi connection.

7. Enter the Radar’s SSID (e.g.

Quan-

tum_1234567

) in the

SSID

field and the

passcode (e.g.

901589f5

) in the

Passcode

field.
Refer to the

Retain your Wi-Fi Passcode

section

for details on locating your SSID and Passcode.

Important:

• Ensure that the SSID and Passcode are entered

exactly as shown on the serial number label that
was supplied with the Radar.

• The SSID is always made up of the word

Quantum

”, followed by an underscore “

_

”,

followed by the product’s 7 digit

serial number

,

(e.g.

Quantum_1234567

).

8. Select

Connect

.

The initial connection can take up to 2 minutes to
complete.

9. Select

Ok

from the Successful Connection

pop-up.
