1.3 Mounting the Antenna Unit on the Mounting Platform
CAUTION
1) Work at high places is dangerous. Always wear a
hard hat and safety belt when working on the
antenna unit mast.
2) Both a service platform and steps to the service
platform must be mounted to provide safe access
for service personnel. Improperly installed
platforms present a hazard to service personnel.
Siting considerations
CAUTION
A magnetic compass will be affected if
placed too close to the antenna unit.
Below are the minimum safe distances
for magnetic cpmpassis.

Consider the following points when selecting
a mounting location for the antenna unit.
¥ No funnel, mast or derrick should be within
the vertical, beam width of the antenna in
the bow direction, especially zero degrees
–5°, to prevent blind sectors and false
echoes on the radar picture.
¥ Fumes from the funnel or other exhaust
vent can adversely affect performance and
hot gas can distort the radiator. The antenna
unit must not be mouonted in a place where
the temperture may exceed 70°C.
¥ Leave sufficient space around the unit for
maintenance ans servicing. See the
antenna unit outline drawing for recommen ded maintenance space.
¥ Locate the unit well away from the aerial of
a radiotelephone or navigation receiver to
prevent interference. Separation of more
than two meters is recommended.

1.4 Mounting the Display Unit
The display unit is designed to be mounted on a tabletop or a pedestal (option).
Before mounting the display unit
If Gyro Converter GC-8 (option) is to be used, install and setup the GYRO PROCESSOR
Board before mounting the display unit, because of the difficulty involved if done after the unit
is mounted, Insstrutions for installtion and setup are in Chapter 4.
Siting considerations
Lpcate the display unit on the bridge in a place where it can be viewed and operated conveniently. In addition, consider the points noted in the figure which follows.
CAUTION
A magnetic compass will be affected if
placed too close to the display unit.
The minimum compass safe distances
for magnetic compasses are
standard compass: 2.7 m
steering compass: 1.8 m
Consider the points mentioned below
when selecting a mounting location for the
display unit.
¥ The orientation of the display unit should
be so the operator views the screen while
facing the bow. This makes determination
of position much easier.
¥ The location should be free of water spray.
¥ The daylight bright type radar display
sunlight. However, locate the unit out of
direct sunlight and away from heat sources
because of heat that can build up inside
the cabinet.
¥ The mounting location should be deter mined consiering the lengt of the signal
cable between the antenna unit and the
display unit. (The signal cable comes in
lengths of 15, 20 or 30 meters; maximum
100 meters.)
¥ Leave sufficient space around the unit for
maintenance and servcing. See the display
unit ouline drawing forrecommended
maintenance space.

When the De-Icer is installed
1) Before beginning any work on the scanner unit, turn off both the DE-ICER switch (S31) on
the sub panel of the display unit and the breaker for the de-icer line at the main switchboard
to remove the power (100 VAC, 1ø) to the de-icer. (T urning off the power to the display unit
has no effect.)
2) The neck of the scanner unit becomes VERY HOT when the de-icer is working. (The deicer turns on when ambient temperature is below 0°C.)
2.2 Display Unit Connection
Two cables are terminated at the display unit: the signal cable RW-4839 or RW-6895 and the
power cable. The signal cable, available in lengths of 15m, 20m, or 30m, comes with a connector preattached to it for connection to the display unit.

Procedure
1) Turn on the power. Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [2] [2] to select HD ALIGN on the
INITIAL SETTING 1 menu.
2) Select a target echo (by gyrocompass, for example) at a range between 0.125 and 0.25nm,
preferably near the heading mark.
3) Operate the EBL control to bisect the target echo. (The value shown on the display is antenna position in relation to ship's bow.)
4) Press [ENTER] to finish.
3.3 Adjusting Sweep T iming
Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and
the display unit. Adjust sweep timing at installation to prevent the following symptoms:
• The echo of a "straight" target (for example, pier), on the 0.25nm range, will appear on the
display as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See Figure 3-3.
• The range of target echoes will also be incorrectly shown.
1) Turn on the power . Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [2] [3] to select TIMING ADJ on the
INITIAL SETTING 1 menu.
2) Transmit on the 0.25nm range.
3) Adjust radar picture controls to display picture properly.
4) Select a target echo which should be displayed straightly.
5) Adjust the VRM control to straighten the target echo.
6) Press the [ENTER] key.
3.4 Adjusting Video Signal Level
When the signal cable is very long, the video amplifier input level decreases, shrinking target
echoes. To prevent this, confirm (and adjust if necessary) video amplifier input level.
Procedure
1) Connect an oscilloscope to TP3 on the INT Board (INT-9170).
2) Transmit on the 12nm range. Take trigger at TP10 on the same board.
3) Adjust VR1 on the INT Board so the value of TP3 is 4Vpp. (For secondary display, adjust
VR2 for same level.)

3.5 Suppressing Main Bang
If main bang appears at the screen center, suppress it as follows.
Procedure
1) Turn on the power. Transmit on a long range and then wait ten minutes.
2) Adjust [GAIN] control to show a slight amount of noise on the display.
3) Select the 0.25nm range. Adjust the [A/C SEA] control to suppress sea clutter.
4) Open the tuning compartment on the control unit.
5) Set VR901(MBS-L) at two o'clock and then slowly turn VR902 (MBS-T) clockwise to
suppress main bang.
6) If main bang still exists, turn VR901 clockwise slightly, and then slowly turn VR902 clockwise. Note that excessive main bang erases targets in close range.

3.6 Confirming Tuning
The radar receiver can be tuned both automatically and manually . Confirm that the radar can be
tuned both automatically and manually.
Procedure
1) Turn on the power. Set the TUNE switch in the top right hand panel to MANU.
2) Transmit on the 48nm range.
3) Adjust sensitivity and picture brilliance. Turn the [A/C SEA] and [A/C RAIN] controls
fully counterclockwise (off).
4) While observing the picture, turn the [TUNE] control in the tuning compartment slowly
counterclockwise (clockwise) more than twice to get best (worst) tuning point.
3 - 4
Page 37
5) Turn the [TUNE] control slowly clockwise (counterclockwise) to display the longest tuning bar.
6) Set the TUNE switch to AUTO and wait about 10 seconds (about four rotations of the
antenna).
7) Confirm that the radar found best tuning point. Peak tuning is obtained when about 80% of
the tuning indicator lights.
3.7Confirming Magnetron Heater Voltage
Magnetron heater voltage is adjusted at the factory. Confirm that magnetron heater voltage is
within the prescribed rating as follows:
1) Turn on the radar and select the 0.125 mile range.
2) Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [2] [0] to open the INITIAL SETTING2 menu.
3) Press [5] to select the 5. SCANNER STOPPED field and the TX option.
4) Turn off the antenna switch in the display unit.
5) Connect a multimeter, set to the 10 VDC range, between #12(+) of P801 and the chassis.
6) The multimeter should read 9.2-9.4 V. If not, adjust VR1.
7) “Transmit” on the 48 mile range.
8) The multimeter should read 7.3-8.3V.
9) Press [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [2] [0] [5] to select the 5. SCANNER STOPPED field and
the ROTATE option.
10) Turn on the ANT MOT OR SW on the scanner unit.
