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.

2. CONNECTIONS
2.1 Antenna Unit Connections
Two cables run between the display unit and the antenna unit, the signalcable and the antenna
cable.
1.Shorten the cable making the length from the cable gland to the cable end inside the scanner
unit 450 mm. Remove the vinyl sheath of the cable by 450 mm; the armor by 440 mm.

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.
Fabricating power cable DPYCY -3.5

2) Cut off jute tape wrapped around the braided
shield.
3) Unravel the braided shield to expose the cores
by about 120mm.
4) Slip the terminal cap onto the core.
5) Remove insulation of cores by about 10mm.
Fix crimp-on lugs to the cores and braided
