Installation

¼ Note: The Halo Radar is factory sealed. Removing the cover will void the factory warranty.

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.

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.

When you are deciding on the location, consider the following

The length of the interconnection cable supplied with your radar is usually suﬃcient. 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.

The scanner is usually installed parallel to the line of the keel.

Do not install the scanner:

• 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

• directly on to a large ﬂat roof area. Use a pedestal to elevate the scanner for radar beams to

clear roof line. Refer to “Considerations for direct roof mounting” on page 9

Warning: For dual radar installations, ensure 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 location site 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. (Beam angle is 11° either side of center).

Considerations for direct roof mounting

When deciding a suitable mounting location for the Halo Radar, be aware that the vertical radar beam extends to 22° either side of horizontal, with 50% of the power projecting in a beam 11° oﬀ horizontal. If the radar beams 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 beams 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, 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.

BOW BOW BOW

Use the illustrations below to determine the height of the scanner in relation to distance (A).

dome so that the beam has complete clearance, else performance will be severely impaired.

Mounting the scanner

¼ Note: If replacing an already installed Broadband 3G/4G Radar, refer to ”Replacing a Broadband

3G/4G Radar” on page 21.

Use the supplied mounting template and tape it securely to the chosen location. Before drilling, check that:

• you have oriented the mounting template correctly so that the front of the scanner unit

will face the front of the vessel

• clearance to other objects in all directions is >315 mm ( 12.5”) from the center of the

product as indicated on the mounting template

• the thickness of chosen mounting surface is not more than 18 mm (0.7”). If the location is

thicker, longer bolts than those supplied will be required

¼ Note: The bolts supplied are M8 x 30 mm. If you need to use longer bolts make sure they are

marine grade stainless steel and allow for minimum of 8 mm (0.3”) and maximum of 18 mm (0.7”) of thread contact.

1. Use a 9.5 mm (3/8”) drill bit to drill the four holes where shown on the mounting template

2. Connect the scanner interconnection cable

3. Route the connection cable through the cable retention channel. Refer to “Scanner

connection details” on page 15

4. Position the scanner carefully over the bolt holes so that they are aligned

5. Place a lock washer and a plain washer onto each bolt

6. Insert bolt into drill hole and locate into scanners threaded mounting holes and tighten

securely

¼ Note: The torque settings for the mounting bolts are 12 Nm – 18 Nm (8.9 lb ft – 13.3 lb ft)

Wiring guidelines

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 to the Ethernet cable or connector directly as this will loosen and

damage the connector and the radar will malfunction when power is applied

• bend the Ethernet cable back on itself as this will cause damage to the Ethernet cable and

the radar will malfunction when power is applied

Do:

• connect a mouse line to the outer jacket of the 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 RJ45 connector to the mouse line so that it does not get caught and bent

backwards

• cover the RJ45 and the conductors with tape to protect them as they are pulled thorough

the run

• make drip and service loops

• use cable-tie on all cables to keep them secure

• solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables

• keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion

• leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables

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. Be sure that the voltage of the power supply is compatible with the unit.

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).

Setup and conguration

Setup and conﬁguration of the Halo Radar has been simpliﬁed compared to traditional pulse radars. There is no zero range adjustment (time delay), no warm up time and no burn in required.

Make the following settings before use. Refer to the documentation supplied with your display unit.

Adjust bearing alignment

Aligns the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the vessel. This ensures that MARPA targets and bearings taken with the EBL are displayed accurately.

Antenna height adjustment

The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line. Set the antenna height correctly, this aﬀects the sea clutter function. Do not set the height to zero.

Sector Blanking

Used to stop the radar transmitting in the direction of structures that could cause unwanted reﬂections or interference to appear on the radar image. Four sectors can be set, the bearing of which is measured from the bow of the vessel to the center line of the sector.

Side lobe suppression

¼ Note: This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in harbor

environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly.

By default this control is set to Auto. Increase the suppression if there is signiﬁcant metallic clutter around the radar.

Halo light

Determines the light level of the LED accent light.

Warning: Halo Radar’s lighting may not be approved for use in your boating location.

Please check your local boating regulations before turning the blue accent lights ON.

Maintenance

Clean the radome using soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products.

Do not use solvents such as gasoline, acetone, M.E.K etc. as this will damage the dome surface.
