8. Connect the LAN connector of the power/LAN cable to a LAN port on the FURUNO Multi Function Display or Ethernet HUB.
Note: Do not connect the LAN connector to on-board LAN.
9. Connect the power wires to the ship’s battery (24 VDC).
• Red wire: Connect to the positive terminal. The red wire has the fuse holder.
• Blue wire: Connect to the negative terminal.
• Black wire: The black wire is a shielding wire for grounding.
Note 1: The antenna unit has no power switch. Connect the antenna unit to a distribution switchboard with a switch for power control.
Note 2: If the voltage of the ship’s battery is 12 VDC, prepare a DC-to-DC converter whose output current is 10 A or more.
Note 3: The antenna unit cannot accept the input voltage more than 24 VDC.

2. INITIAL SETUP
Before turning on the radar, be sure
no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING
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.
Distances at which RF radiation levels
of 100, 50 and 10 W/m

exist are given
in the table below.

The DRS6A X-Class is compatible with the FURUNO Multi Function Display shown
below. The combination with other models may not operate properly.
• NavNet TZtouch: TZT9, TZT14, TZTBB
• NavNet TZtouch2: TZTL12F, TZTL15F
Turn on the antenna unit and FURUNO Multi Function Display, and do the initial setup
for the antenna unit on the FURUNO Multi Function Display.
2.1 Initial Setup for TZT9/TZT14/TZTBB
1. Press the Home key (or tap the Home icon).
2. Select [Menu] on the menu icon bar to open the main menu.
3. Select [Radar].
4. Select [Radar Source] on the [Menu Radar] sub menus, then select the radar type
connected.
Note: If the antenna unit is connected but does not appear in the [Radar Source]
list, close the list and open it again. The name of the antenna unit should appear
with a check mark, as in the example below.

How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.
Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the
heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for the error.
1. Select a range between 0.125 and 0.25 NM and set the mode to “head up“.
You can select a range by a pinch action. The range and range ring interval appear at the bottom left of the screen.
For TZTBB, you can also control the range in the operation as follows. Tap the
radar scale box at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to display the slider
bar. Drag the circle icon to set the range scale.

2. Turn the vessel’s bow toward a target.
3. Press the Home key (or tap the Home icon), then select [Menu] icon, [Radar], and
[Antenna Heading Align] in that order to show the numeric software keyboard.
4. Key in the offset value so that the target is at the very top of the screen (setting
range: +/- 0° to 180°, +: clockwise direction, -: counterclockwise direction), then
tap [Save].
5. Confirm that the target echo is displayed at correct bearing on the screen.
