1.1 Antenna Unit
1.1.1 Installation considerations
• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the ra-
dar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit in an elevated position to
permit maximum target visibility.
• A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship must hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending whichever val-
ue is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.
• Install the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to a minimum. A blind sector must not exist in arc of the horizon from right
ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see the figure below). Also, individual
blind sectors of more than 5°, or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°,
must not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors sep-
arated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.
• Do not install the antenna where extreme winds may strike the port and starboard
sides of the antenna.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact
spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage
coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.
