6.9.5 Installation
It is necessary to connect two cables between two radars for Interswitch operation.
1. REMOTE cable
The radar signals should be cross connected between two radars for Interswitch
operation. The radar video, trigger, SHF, and azimuth signals are connected each
other with the REMOTE cable.
2. DATA cable
The Interswitch control is carried out with the data communication. The data input
and output should be cross connected between two radars, too. The connection
should be made with DATA1 connector only.
6.9.6 Adjustment
The radar image distance adjustment is necessary for Interswitch operation. Please
adjust the radar image distance with stand alone( independence ) mode, and also
CROSS or SLAVE mode. Change the Interswitch operation mode to CROSS or
SLAVE, then adjust the distance from "SYSTEM / SYSTEM SETUP / DELAY" menu.
If necessary, adjust STC characteristics with "SYSTEM / SYSTEM SETUP /
HEIGHT" menu with CROSS or SLAVE mode, too.
