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 representative or dealer to
provide this feature.

WARNING
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.
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.
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.
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.

WARNING
POWER Switch in AC
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.
Powered Display Unit
The display unit designed to run on AC

1.1Scanner Unit
Mounting considerations
•The scanner unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the
radar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the scanner unit where there is a
good all-round view.
(a) On bridge (b) Common mast (c) Radar mast
•No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the scanner in the bow direction, especially zero degrees ±5°, to prevent blind sectors
and false echoes on the radar picture.
MOUNTING
Figure 1-1 Mounting methods
•It is rarely possible to place the scanner 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 scanner unit to prevent
interference to the direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is
recommended.
•T o 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 scanner unit.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Standard compass,1.70 m (FR-21 15), 2.10 m (FR-2125), Steering compass, 1.90 m (FR-2115), 1.20 m (FR-2125).
•Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
•The signal cable run between the scanner 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 scanner base is made of cast aluminum. To prevent electrolytic corrosion
of the scanner base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat and
ground the unit with the ground wire (supplied).
•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 scanner 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
scanner unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
1-1
Assembling the scanner unit
The scanner unit consists of the scanner radiator and the scanner unit chassis,
and they are packed separately. Fasten the scanner radiator to the scanner unit
chassis as follows:
1. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, attach two guide pins to the underside of the scanner 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 1-2.

4. Coat fixing holes for the scanner radiator with anticorrosive sealant.
5. Grease the O-ring and set it to the O-ring groove of the radiator flange.
6. Set the scanner radiator to the radiator bracket.
7. For the XN20AF , XN24AF, coat hex bolts (M8 x 40, slotted washer head, 8pcs.)
with anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the scanner radiator
to the scanner unit chassis. For the XN12AF, coat hex bolts, flat washers and
spring washers with anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the
scanner radiator to the scanner unit chassis.
8. Remove two guide pins (inserted at step 1), and then tighten fixing bolts.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove the guide pins.
Injury may result if the guide pins loosen
and fall.

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

2. Drill four mounting holes of 15 mm diameter and one cable entry hole of about
50 mm diameter in the mounting platform.
NO!
3. Lay the rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.

6. Using hex bolt (M6x25), nut (M6) and flat washer (M6) establish the ground
system on the mounting platform as shown in Figure 1-5. The location should
be within 370 mm of the ground terminal on the scanner unit. Connect the
ground wire (RW-4747, 370 mm, supplied) between the grounding point and
ground terminal on the scanner unit. Coat the entire ground system with silicone sealant (supplied).

1.2Display Unit
Before mounting the display unit
If Gyro Converter GC-8 (option) is to be used, install and setup the GYRO CONVERTER Board before mounting the display unit, because of the difficulty involved
in doing it after the display unit is installed. Instructions for installation and setup
are in Chapter 4.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
•Select a location where the display unit can be viewed and operated conveniently and where the screen can be viewed while facing towards the bow.
•Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and way 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.
•The display unit is very heavy. 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 signal cable between the scanner unit and the display unit. (The signal cable comes in lengths
of 15, 20 or 30 meters; maximum 100 meters).
•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 so it
can be pulled forward for servicing or easy removal of connectors.
•A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the display unit.
Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Standard compass, 1.70 m, Steering compass, 0.90 m.
