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
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 representative or dealer to provide
this feature.

ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
HAZARD
Construct a suitable service platform
from which to install the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna mast.
Turn off the power at the mains switchboard before beginning the installation.
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 antenna mast.
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or equipment damage. The
voltage rating of the equipment appears
on the label above the power connector.
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or equipment damage can result if a
different cable is used.
CAUTION
Ground the equipment to
prevent electrical shock and
mutual interference.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result if the power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being installed.
Do not install the display unit where it
may get wet from rain or water splash.
Water in the display unit can result in fire,
electrical shock or equipment damage.

SP03-12500 (DC mains) 000-089-390SP03-12501, SP03-12505 Spare Parts
• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast,
on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit where there is a good all-round view.
• No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna in the bow
direction, especially zero degrees ±5°, to prevent blind sectors and false echoes on the radar
picture.
• 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 fitting.
• Locate the antenna of a direction finder 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 electrical 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, 1.70 m (FR-2115-B), 2.10 m (FR-2125-B), Steering compass, 0.90 m (FR-2115-B),
1.20 m (FR-2125-B).
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• The signal cable run between the antenna and the display is available in lengths of 15 m
(standard), 20 m, and 30 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely, no splicing
allowed.
• The antenna base is made of cast aluminum. To prevent electrolytic corrosion of the antenna
base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat.
• 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.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the antenna unit
outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
1-1
1.1.2 Assembling the antenna unit
The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and the antenna unit chassis, and they are
packed separately. Fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis as follows:
1. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, attach two guide pins to the underside of the antenna radiator.
2. Remove the waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.
3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive sealant as shown in Figure 1-1.

5. Grease the O-ring and set it to the O-ring groove of the radiator flange.
6. Set the antenna radiator to the radiator bracket.
7. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, coat hex bolts (M8X40, slotted washer-head, 8 pcs.) with
anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit
chassis. For the XN12AF, coat hex bolts, flat washers and spring washers with anticorrosive
sealant and use them to loosely fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis.
8. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, remove two guide pins (inserted at step 1).
9. Tighten the bolts loosely fastened at step 7.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove the guide pins.
Injury may result if the guide pins loosen
and fall.

1.1.3 Fastening the antenna unit to the mounting platform
The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform . However, do
not lift the antenna unit by the radiat or . Always hold the unit by its housing. When using a crane
or hoist, lift the unit by the hoist r ings which should be fastened to the bolt fixing covers of the
antenna housing.
CAUTION
DO NOT hoist the antenna unit by the
radiator; hoist it by the hoist rings. (Be sure to
remove rings after hoisting the antenna unit.)
Hoist

1. Construct a suitable mount ing platform referring to the outline drawing at the back of the
manual.
2. Drill four m ount ing holes of 15 mm diameter and one cable entry hole of about 50 m m
diameter in the mounting platform.
3. Lay the rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.
4. Place the antenna unit on the rubber mat orienting the unit so the bow mark on its base is
facing the ship's bow.

5. Fasten the antenna unit to t he mounting platform with four sets of M12X60 hex bolts, nuts,
flat washers and seal washers (supplied).
6. Using hex bolt (M6X25), nut (M6) and f lat washer (M6), establish t he ground system on the
mounting platform as shown in Figur e 1- 4. The location should be within 370 mm of the
ground terminal on the antenna unit. Connect the ground wire (RW-4747, 370 mm, supplied)
between the grounding point and ground ter minal on the antenna unit. Coat the entire
ground system with silicone sealant (supplied).

1.2Processor Unit
1.2.1 Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• The processor unit must be mounted horizontally.
• DO NOT place any item on the top of the processor unit.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that can
build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit under the
continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary reinforce the
mounting location.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the following cables:
a) Signal cable from the antenna unit
b) Power cable from the ship's mains
c) Monitor cable from the monitor
d) Control cable from the control unit
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance. Also, leave a
foot or so of "service loop" in cables behind the unit for servicing ease.
• A magnetic will be adversely affected if placed too close to the processor unit. Observe the
following compass safety distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Standard
compass, 1.70 m, Steering compass, 0.90 m.

The FR-2115-B/2125-B is available with or without a monitor. This section shows how to mount
the monitor supplied.
Mounting considerations
• The monitor is designed to be mounted on a desktop.
• Locate the monitor where it can be easily operated while viewing the screen and operating the
control unit.
• DO NOT place the monitor on the top of the processor unit.
• Locate the monitor out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that can
build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit under the
continued vibration which is normally experienced on the ship. If necessary reinforce the
mounting location.
