1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Before Beginning the Installation...
Please read the instructions below before beginning the installation.
• Do the installation following the instructions contained in this manual.
• Be sure to do the installation setup (tuning, timing, heading alignment, etc.) in chapter 3 after installing the equipment.
• The cable names mentioned throughout this manual are JIS (Japan Industrial Standard) cables. If not available locally, see Appendix 1 for the equivalent cables.
• The control unit cannot be mounted in a console - it is designed to be mounted on
a desktop.
• See the table below for retrofit possibility. For use of the existing antenna cable of
FR-8125 or FR-8255, attachment of a connector (NH and VH) to the cable is necessary. However, replacement of the cable is recommended.
Retrofit possibility
FAR-1518/1528
FAR-1513/1523
FR-8002 series Yes No No
FR-1500 MK3 series Yes Yes No
• The antenna cable for the FAR-1513/FAR-1523 has connectors at both its ends. If
the cable is to be passed through a bulkhead, do not remove the connectors (to
make it easier to pass the cable through the bulkhead). Make an opening in the
bulkhead large enough to pass the connectors.

• Use only the specified power cable and fuse.
• Connect the DC power specification processor unit to the ship’s mains via a breaker.
• Ground the AC power specification processor unit.
• If the processor unit is to be installed near where water or rain splash may occur,
install the optional waterproofing kit, which provides waterproofing standard IPX2.
Do not install the unit in an area where water or rain splash exceeds the conditions
of IPX2.
• Do not connect the radar to the ship’s onboard LAN.
• Connect the drain wires of external equipment to the specified locations in the processor unit to prevent noise.
• Do not disassemble the equipment, to prevent electrical shock.
• Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts
of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating
and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.
• In case of trouble consult with a FURUNO dealer.
• This series of radars are supplied with or without (BB type) a monitor. The configuration is identical otherwise.

1.2 Antenna Unit Installation Considerations
• 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 in an elevated position to
permit maximum target visibility.
• A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship must hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending whichever value is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.
less than 500 m or twice the ship's length
• Install the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to a minimum. A blind sector must not exist in arc of the horizon from right
ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see the figure below). Also, individual
blind sectors of more than 5° or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°,
must not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors separated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.

• Do not install the antenna where extreme winds may strike the port and starboard
sides of the antenna.
• Install the antenna unit away from interfering high-power energy sources and TX radio antennas.
• Keep the following distance and angle between another radar antenna.
More than 20°
More than 1 m
1-2
• Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit above the safety rail by at least 500 mm.
Page 11
1. INSTALLATION
• No funnel, mast or derrick shall be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna unit
in the bow direction, especially zero degree ±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. Therefore, 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 an EPFS clear of the radar antenna to prevent interference
to the EPFS. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the antenna unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference
to a magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• Ground the antenna unit with the supplied ground wire.
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can affect the aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. Do not install the antenna unit
where the temperature is more than 55°.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the antenna unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
Note: For the IMO radar, please refer to IMO SN/Circ.271 "Guidelines for the installation of shipborne radar equipment".
1.3 How to Install the Antenna Unit for FAR-1518,

1.5 Processor Unit
1.5.1 Mounting considerations
The processor unit can be mounted on a desktop or bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
• 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.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables connected.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
(See the outline drawing at the back of this manual.)
• A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the processor unit. Ob-
serve the compass safe distances shown on page ii to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass.
