1. MOUNTING

1.1 Mounting Methods for Antenna Unit

The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on a suitable platf orm. Locate the antenna unit where there is a good all-round view. Any obstruction will cause shadow and blind sectors. A mast for instance, with a diameter considerably less than t he width of the radiator, will cause only a small blind sector, but a horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane as the antenna unit would be a much more serious obstruction; you would need to place the antenna unit well above or below it.
It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all directions is available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitt ing.
If you have a radio direction finder on your boat, locate its antenna clear of the antenna unit to prevent interference to the direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing the signal cable near other onboard el ectrical equipment. Also avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables.
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the antenna unit. Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Standard compass, 1.00 m , Steering compass, 0.75 m.
Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
When this radar is to be installed on larger vessels, consider the following points:
!
The signal cable run between the antenna and the display comes in lengths
of 10 m (standard), 15 m, 20 m and 30 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely, no splicing allowed.
!
Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely
affect the aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The antenna unit must not be mounted where the temperature is more than 70°C.

1.6 Mounting Methods for Display Unit

When selecting a mounting location for the display unit keep in mind the following points.
The display unit is designed and constructed t o be splashproof, thus it can be installed outdoors. You can even hose it down after a day’s outing. If it is to be installed outdoors, we recommend installing it an enclosed cabinet, for maximum protection against the marine environment.
The temperature and humidity of the mounting location should be stable and moderate. No LCD can provide adequate contrast if the ambient temperature is too extreme.
The display unit consumes only a moderat e amount of power, so there is no need for forced air ventilation. However, you should provide adequate space behind and around the unit to permit circulation of air and to provide convenient access to the rear connectors.
Even though the picture is quite legible even in bright sunlight, keep the display unit out of direct sunlight or at least shaded because of heat that can build up inside the cabinet.
Locate the display unit in a position where you can vi ew and operate it conveniently but where there is no danger of salt or fresh water spray or immersion.
The orientation of the display unit should be so the radar screen is viewed while the operator is facing in the direction of the bow. This makes determination of your position much easier.
Make sure you allow enough clearance both to get to the connectors behind the unit and to allow you to get your hands in on both sides to loosen or tighten the mounting knobs. Make sure you leave at least a foot or so of “service loop” of cables behind the unit so it can be pulled forward for servicing or easy removal of the connectors.
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the display u nit . Observe the minimum compass safe distances to prevent deviatio n of a magnetic compass: standard compass, 0.7 m eters, and steering compass, 0.5 meters.
1-10

1.7 Mounting the Display Unit

The display unit is designed to be mounted on a tabletop.
1. Using the hanger as a t emplate, mark screw locations in the mounting location.
2. Fix the hanger to the mounting location with four 5 x 20 tapping screws (supplied).
3. Fit t he knob bolts to the display unit.
4. Install t he display unit in the hanger.

Magnetron heater voltage is form ed on the MD Board (03P9235) of the antenna unit, and is preadjusted at the factory f or use with any lengt h of signal cable. Therefore no adjustment is required. However, check magnetron heater voltage as follows:
1. Turn on the radar and leave it in stand-by.
2. Open the ant enna cover.
3. Unfasten four screws to remove the RF section cover.
DANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This check is done with the power on DO NOT touch the magnetron.

3.5 Heading Alignment

You have mount ed the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading mark (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small error on the display because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial posit ioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for this error, 360 degrees.
1. Identify a suitable target (for example, ship or buoy) at a range between 1/8 to 1/4 miles, preferably near the heading mark. To minimize error, keep echoes in the outer half of the picture by changing t he range.
2. Display the Inst allation Setup 2 menu.

3.6 Sweep Timing

This adjustment ensures proper radar performance, especially on short ranges. The radar measures the time required for a transm itt ed echo to travel to the target and return to the source. The received echo appears on the display based on this time. Thus, at the instant t he transmitter is fired, the sweep should start from the center of the display (sometimes called sweep origin.)
A trigger pulse generated in the display unit goes t o the antenna unit through the signal cable to trigger the transmitter (magnetron). The time taken by the signal to travel up to the antenna unit varies, depending largely on the length of signal cable. During this period the display unit should wait before starting the sweep. When the display unit is not adjusted correctly, the echoes from a straight local object (for example, a harbor wall or straight pier) will not appear with straight
edges center. The range of objects will also be incorrectly shown.
namely, they will be seen as “pushed out” or “pulled in” near the picture
(1) Correct
Figure 3-8 Examples of improper and correct sweep timings
