Industry Canada Statement
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante.
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category I) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Wiring guidelines

Safely pulling the interconnection cable
• Connect a mouse line to the outer jacket of the radar interconnection cable so that the
strain of pulling is transferred to the stronger outer jacket of the cable. Use some small cable ties to secure the mouse line to the outer jacket as well if there is sufficient clearance.
• Tape the conductors and tape the RJ45 connector to the mouse line so that it does not
get caught and bent backwards.

B B

C
B
B
A Mouse line B Electrical tape C Cable tie
Do:
• make drip and service loops
• use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure
• solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables
• use the appropriate length of ready-made interconnection cable
• leave room adjacent to device to ease plugging and unplugging of connectors
Do not:
• make sharp bends in the cables
• run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors
• run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or
high frequency signal cables
• run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems
• run cables over sharp edges or burrs
• attach a mouse line directly to the Ethernet cable or connector
Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power off. If power
is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical shock, or other serious injury may occur.
Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to (+) DC with
the supplied fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating). Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit.

Installation | Halo20, 20+ and 24 Dome Radars Installation Manual

Choose the scanner location

!
The radar’s ability to detect targets greatly depends on the position of its scanner. The ideal location for the scanner is high above the vessel’s keel line where there are no obstacles.
When you are deciding on the location, consider the following:
A higher installation position increases the radar ranging distance, but it also increases the minimum range around the vessel where targets cannot be detected. Higher installation height also reduces the ability of the radar to detect targets in sea clutter.
The length of the interconnection cable supplied with your radar is sufficient for the majority of installations. If you think you’ll need a longer cable, consult your dealer before installation. Optional cable lengths are 5 m (16 ft) 10 m (33 ft), 20 m (65.5 ft) and 30 m (98 ft).
If you mount the scanner on a pedestal or base, ensure that rain and sea spray can drain away rapidly, and the breather hole (A) in the base can operate.
A
The scanner should, where possible, be installed parallel to the line of the keel. Do not install the scanner:
• directly on to a large flat roof area. Use a pedestal to elevate the scanner so the radar beam
clears the roof line. Refer to “Considerations for roof mounting” on page 10
• too high up (eg at the top of a mast), which may cause degradation of the radar picture
over short ranges
• close to lamps or exhaust outlets. The heat emissions may damage the dome. Soot and
smoke will degrade the performance of the radar
• close to the antennas of other equipment such as direction finders, VHF antennas, GPS
equipment, as it may cause or be subject to interference
• where a large obstruction (such as an exhaust stack) is at the same level as the beam, the
obstruction is likely to generate false echoes and/or shadow zones
• where it will be subjected to strong vibrations. Vibrations could degrade the performance
or service life of the radar
Warning: For dual radar installations, ensure the Halo Radar is not installed in the
beam of a pulse radar at any time.

Pulse Radar
STBY
Minimum distance to install near the ships compass is 0.7 m (2.3 ft).
If possible, ensure that the mounting location provides the scanner with a clear view all round the vessel.
Do not install the Halo Radar on the same beam plane as a conventional pulse radar. A pulse radar must be set to STBY or OFF any time the Halo Radar is being operated.
If installed on power boats that have a steep planing angle, it is recommended to tilt the scanner angle down at the front.

Considerations for roof mounting

When deciding a suitable mounting location for the Halo Radar, be aware that the vertical radar beam extends 25° above and below horizontal for Halo20/20+ and 22° above and below horizontal for Halo24. 50% of the power projects in a beam 12.5° above and below horizontal for Halo 20/20+ and 11° above and below horizontal for Halo24. If the radar beam cannot clear the roof line, this will decrease performance of the radar. Depending on the size of the hard top of the vessel, it is recommended to elevate the antenna to allow the radar beam to clear the roof line.
¼ Note: Where the mounting surface is constructed of any form of metal you must elevate the
radar so that the beam has complete clearance, as per Optimum performance section, else performance will be severely impaired.
Determine scanner height
This is a guide to determine scanner height in relation to the furthest forward corner of the hard top.
Measure the distance (A) from the Halo Radar to the furthest forward corner of the hard top.
