Do not open the equipment unless
totally familiar with electrical circuits
and service manual.
Only qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Wear a safety belt and hard hat when
working on the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if
someone falls from the radar mast.
Construct a suitable service platform
from which to install the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if the
power is left on or is applied while the
equipment is being installed.
Turn off the power at the mains
switch-board before beginning the
installation.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result if the power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being installed.
CAUTION
Ground the equipment to prevent
electrical shock and mutual
interference.
WARNING
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic
radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never
look directly into the antenna aperture
from a close distance while the radar is in
operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of
100 and 10 W/m
table below.
Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a
close distance in front of the wheel house,
your administration may require halt of
transmission within a certain sector of
antenna revolution. This is possible Ask your FURUNO representive or dealer
to provide this feature.

1.MOUNTING
1.1Mounting Considerations
• The radar sensor is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on
a suitable platform. Locate the radar sensor 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 the horizontal beamwidth of the radiator, will cause only a small blind sector, but a horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane as the radar sensor would be a much
more serious obstruction; you would need to place the radar sensor well above or below it.
• It is rarely possible to place the radar sensor 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 fitting.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the radar sensor is placed too close to it. Observe the
compass safe distances mentioned in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to prevent interference to
a magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture and radome to ensure proper emision of the radar waves.
• When this radar sensor is to be installed on large vessels, consider the following points:
• The two-way cable run between the radar sensor and MFDBB, MFD8, MFD12 or PSU-012
comes in lengths of 10 m, 15 m, 20 m
• 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 radar sensor must not be
mounted where the temperature is more than 55 degrees centigrade.
As shown in the figure below, the radar sensor may be installed on a common mast or on the radar
mast.

1.2Mounting Procedure for DRS2D/4D
1. Remove mounting hardware at the bottom of the radar sensor, four each of hex bolts
(M10x20), spring washers and flat washers. Save the spring washers and flat washers to use
them to fix the radome base to the platform, at step 3. If the thickness of the mounting platform
is 5 mm or less, also save the bolts.

2. Construct a platform (steel or aluminum) 6-10 mm in thickness referring to the outline drawing
at the back of this manual. Fasten the platform to the mounting location. Next, position the
base so the cable entrance is facing the stern.
Note: When drilling holes in the platform, be sure they are parallel with the fore and aft line.

3. Use the hex bolts*, flat washers and spring washers removed at step 1, and fasten the
radome base to the platform. The torque should be between 19.6-24.5N
zm.
*If the thickness of the platform is 6-10 mm, use M10x25 bolts (supplied). For thicker platform, use
locally supplied bolts.

4. Mount the cover tentatively. The cover is opened for wiring at Chapter 2.
1.3Mounting Procedure for DRS4A/6A/12A/25A
Refer to the outline drawing at the back of this manual, and drill five holes in the mounting platform:
four holes of 15 mm in diameter for fixing the radar sensor and one hole of 25-30 mm in diameter
for the signal cable. The outline drawing shows two cable entrance holes, one on the radar sensor
and one on the rubber mat. Use only the one on the rubber mat.
1.3.1Fastening the radiator to the radiator bracket
1. Remove the radiator cap from the radiator bracket.
2. Coat the surface of the radiator bracket with silicone sealant as shown in the figure below.

3. Coat threaded holes on the antenna radiator with silicone sealant.
4. Grease the O-ring and set it to the radiator bracket.

1.3.2Mounting the radar sensor
The radar sensor can be mounted using the fixing holes on the outside (200 x 200 mm) or inside
(140 x 150 mm) the radar sensor.
Using outside fixing holes of radar sensor
Use the hex bolts (supplied) to mount the radar sensor as below.
1. Lay the corrosion-proof rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.

Using inside fixing holes of the sensor housing
If this radar is replacing a FURUNO radar whose mounting dimensions are the same as this one
(140 x 150 mm), it may be possible to use its mounting platform. This method requires removal of
the RF unit from the radar sensor to access inside fixing holes. Use hex bolts, flat washers, spring
washers and nuts (local supply) to mount the radar sensor.
1. Unfasten four bolts from the cover to open the radar sensor.
2. Unplug the PCS connector from RF unit.
3. Separate upper chassis from lower chassis by removing two bolts (M8x25).
4. Remove RF unit by unfastening two hex bolts and two fixing bolt.

5. Lay the corrosion-proof rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.
6. Fasten the lower chassis to the mounting platform with hex bolts, spring washers, flat washers
and nuts (local supply), and then coat flat washers, nuts and exposed parts of bolts with silicone sealant. Cut a slit in the rubber bushing and insert bolt into the bushing. Do not use seal
washers.
7. Remount RF unit.
8. Coat outside fixing holes with silicone sealant and then attach caps (supplied) to holes.
