Owners Handbook
March 2004
Intended Use
The scanner units detailed in this handbook form part of navigational radar systems intended for light marine use. These radar systems are only an aid to navigation.
Safety Notices
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1.High Voltage. The scanner unit contains high voltages. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never remove the scanner unit internal covers or attempt to service the equipment.
2.Electromagnetic Energy. The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel (above head height).
Do not look directly at the antenna at close range as your eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 Hz to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation, Doc NRPB, No. 5 (1993).
3. Navigation Aid. This radar unit is only an aid to navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is the user’s
6
responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements. This radar unit should not be relied upon as a substitute for such prudence and judgement.

Preface
This handbook describes the following Raymarine Pathfinder radar scanners:
5S 48" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
7S 72" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
9S 48" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
11S 72" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
These scanner units may be connected to any HSB/hsb2 or C-Series display unit.
The open array scanners must not be used with the SL70, SL70 PLUS, SL70RC PLUS or Autohelm 7" LCD Display Unit. This may result in damage to the display due to the high power requirements of the open array scanner.
The handbook contains very important information on the installation and operation of your new equipment. In order to obtain the best results in operation and performance, please read this handbook thoroughly.
Raymarine’s Technical Support representatives or your local dealer will be available to answer any questions you may have.
Display Software Version
For full operation of the Pathfinder scanners, the display unit requires an appropriate software version. For new displays, the correct software version is normally already installed in the display unit and is fully compatible with the Pathfinder scanners.
Early display units may not have the correct software and will therefore require upgrading.
The software version can be confirmed by switching-on the display and checking the version number during the magnetron warm-up sequence.
Note: If a scanner unit is not connected the version number is only displayed for 10 seconds.
Where, necessary Software Upgrade Kits are available from your dealer, distributor or from Raymarine. We recommend that where a repeater display is fitted, both the repeater and the master display are upgraded.
8
C-Series Display Compatibility
To achieve full compatibility with a C-Series Display, your Raymarine radar scanner may require upgrading. Please refer to the C-Series Display Owner’s Handbook, or contact Technical Support for details.
The open array scanners cannot be powered from a C-Series display unit; they must be connected to ship’s power using a split pedestal cable or pedestal adaptor cable. Full details are provided in this handbook.
Warranty
To register your Pathfinder Radar Scanner ownership, please take a few minutes to fill out the warranty registration card found at the end of this handbook. It is very important that you complete the owner information and return the card to the factory in order to receive full warranty benefits.
The radome scanner package includes a barcode label indicating the serial number of the unit. This label should be stuck to the warranty registration card. The open array scanner has two barcode labels indicating the serial numbers of the pedestal and the antenna units. Both labels should be stuck to the warranty registration card.
EMC Conformance
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
The design and manufacture of Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised.

Chapter 2: Overview
2.1 Introduction
This handbook provides instructions to assist you in the installation and set up of the following radar scanners:
5S 48" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
7S 72" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
9S 48" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
11S 72" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
These scanner units may be connected to any HSB/hsb2 or C-Series display unit.
Note: To achieve full compatibility with a C-Series Display, your Raymarine radar scanner may require upgrading. Please refer to the C-Series Display Owner’s Handbook, or contact Technical Support for details.

CAUTION:
Do not use an open array scanner with an SL70, SL70 PLUS or SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display unit. Failure to observe this may result in permanent damage to these display units.
The 10 kW open array scanner requires 24 V or higher; it will not operate on 12 V systems.
This handbook is divided into three chapters as follows:
Chapter One provides information to help you plan the scanner installation. It includes sections on Unpacking and Inspecting the Components, Selecting the Scanner Site, Cable Requirements and Power Requirements.
Chapter Two provides detailed instructions on how to mount and connect each type of scanner.
Chapter Three provides instructions on how to perform the system checks, alignment and adjustments. It also provides information on maintenance and what to do if you have problems.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
•At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft).
•More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.
clxxxvii
•The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V (20 V for 10 kW open array scanners) in the power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode.
•Raymarine specified cables are used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
•If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position. Section 2.1, Radome scanner includes instructions on fitting a ferrite.
The following illustration shows a typical range of suppression ferrites fitted to Raymarine equipment.
D3548-4
Connections to Other Equipment
If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the cable close to the Raymarine unit.
2.2 Unpacking and inspecting the components
Unpack your system carefully, to prevent damage to the equipment. It is good practice to save the carton and packing for future use, in case you need to return the unit for service. Check that you have all the correct system components. These depend on your system package, as detailed in the following tables.

2.3 Selecting the scanner unit site
This section provides information that affects the possible locations of the scanner, and its position relative to the display unit and to the power supply.
The dimensions of the each scanner unit are shown in the following diagrams.
Selecting the best location for the scanner unit requires careful consideration of the following points, to ensure reliable and trouble free operation:
Note: In order to minimize potential interference to other systems on board ship (EMC), it is advisable to mount the scanner on a part of the boat that is insulated from the ship’s battery negative. If you cannot do this, and encounter problems, you can fit insulating bushes between the scanner and its mounting bracket.
•Height: The scanner unit should normally be mounted as high as practical above the waterline, for three reasons:
•For safety reasons the scanner should be out of range of personnel, preferably above head height. This avoids mechanical danger and electromagnetic contact, particularly with the eyes.

•Radar operates at the line-of-sight, so a high mounting position gives better long range performance.
•Surrounding large objects, in the same horizontal plane, can interfere with the radar signal and cause blind areas or shadow sectors and false targets on the radar screen (see below).
However, do not mount the scanner so high that it is affected by the pitching and rolling of the vessel. In addition, you may need to lower the scanner to avoid creating a shadow sector underneath the scanner’s beam.
