8.7 Radar System Tests and Post Installation Alignment
Once you have installed your Pathfinder Radar System and made all the
connections, you need to check your installation and perform the
System Tests
before using the system for navigation. It is strongly recommended that the
System Tests are performed before connecting the radar to other equipment in
an integrated system. If you have extended your inter-unit cable, you will also
need to check the display timing. If you encounter any problems, refer to
Chapter 9
.
You may wish to read
Chapters 2 to 4

operation of the system, before performing the initial set up and alignment.
System Check

• All securing bolts are fully tightened and mechanical locking arrangements
as specified are in place.

ask your authorised installation dealer to check the installation before going to
sea.
