Before you turn on the radar for the first time
To extend magnetron lifetime, you're recommended to leave the radar in Standby mode for 30
minutes when activating the radar for the VERY FIRST time. (When the radar is in Standby
mode, it's NOT transmitting but it is powered up – this allows the magnetron heater to
stabilize). Then, after 30 minutes, press the RADAR ON key to test and align.
If you are using the radar with the 6000i or 6100i, press CLR (NOT ENT) the VERY FIRST time
when the radar transmit activation message appears. After this first time, you can press ENT
anytime this screen appears. If the radar has not already warmed up, the radar countdown
timer will appear – typically 90 seconds on lower powered radars – then the radar will
automatically start transmitting.
Turn the radar on
IMPORTANT: Do not use the navigator's Demo Mode when the radar is switched on.
Several menu buttons on the radar display must be activated before the adjustment they
control can be changed. Here's how they work:
•
any button displayed in red is already active. Press it, or use the keypad or cursor controls
to adjust the value.
•
any button displayed in blue is inactive. Press it once to activate it.
The radar normally provides a good picture when used in its automatic modes described in
"Configure the navigator". In many cases, the picture can be improved by using the Range
Rider mode.
Before turning ON the radar for the first time to set it up, check that the vessel's DC primary
power supply is within the recommended range of 10.8 V to 16 V for a 12 V system, or 21.6 V
to 32 V for a 24 V system.
Check that everyone is outside the radiation hazard area and any rotation hazard area.
Turn ON the radar as follows:
•
Turn ON the radar processor by installing the fuse or by turning ON the circuit breaker to
the radar system.
•
Turn ON the navigator (display) unit. The power switch is on the front panel.
Turn the radar off
Be sure to turn the scanner OFF before servicing the scanner or working in the vicinity
of a rotating open array.
Turn the radar OFF by removing the fuse or by switching OFF the radar's dedicated
circuit breaker.
Depending on the power switch configuration, the radar may automatically turn OFF
when the navigator (display) unit is turned OFF.
