Introduction
R3016 12U/6X Radar system
The R3016 12U/6X Radar system is a type approved radar system conforming to the
International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements for vessels that are subject to SOLAS
regulations.
The system consists of:
• R3016 Control unit
• 12kW up-mast transceiver with 6ft. antenna
• R3000 Power supply unit
The radar assists in safe navigation and in avoiding collision by providing an indication, in
relation to own ship, of the position of other surface craft, obstructions and hazards,
navigation objects and shorelines. For this purpose, the radar provides the integration and
display of radar video, target tracking information, positional data derived from own ship’s
position and geo-referenced data.
To be able to provide consistent data, the R3016 12U/6X Radar system is designed to be
integrated using serial interfaces with other electronic equipment normally present in a
vessel bridge:
• Gyro-compass or transmitting heading device (HDG)
• Speed and Distance Measuring Equipment (SDME)
• Electronic Position Fixing System (EPFS)
• Automatic Identification System (AIS)
• Bridge Alert Management system (BAM)
The R3016 12U/6X Radar system is a Category 3 type approved system, approved only in the
configuration specified in the certificate. The type approval certificates are available at the
product web site: www.navico.com/commercial.
System components
The R3016 Control unit
The R3016 Control unit includes 3 main components: a processor, a monitor and a keypad.
The processor is made of a dual core CPU that integrates information coming from the
transceiver and the external sensors.
The monitor is a non-touch monitor type approved for Category 3 Radar use.
The keypad is the main control device for the system. The system cursor is controlled by the
directional pad, while several options are provided to activate radar functionalities and
navigate menus during operation.
The R3016 Control unit is fitted with an SD card reader used for updating the software and
for transferring data from the system.
The control unit is directly linked with the transceiver using a dedicated signal cable (15, 30
or 65 m length).
The up-mast radar sensor
The up-mast radar sensor comprises two main parts: a 6 foot antenna and a 12 kW
transceiver.
The antenna is a 6 foot X-band antenna, fixed to the transceiver unit with 4 bolts.
The transceiver is the system radio transmitter and receiver, measuring the radar echo
received from the pulse transmission. The transceiver includes a processing unit that
eliminates unwanted echoes or noise, and transfers digitized video data to the control unit.
On the back of the unit there is a safety switch and 3 connectors: Signal connector, Main
power connector, and a connector for the optional Heater kit.

The R3000 Power supply unit
System nominal input is 24 VDC. The power supply unit converts the available 24 VDC power
source up to the transceiver's operating voltage. The transceiver input voltage is higher to
minimize the effect of voltage drop due to cable length.
Output power cables are available in 15, 30 and 65 m lengths.
The Heater kit
The optional Heater kit is used when installing the heater in the transceiver. The heater
warms up the radar transceiver to ensure safe start-up and operation. The main components
of the Heater kit are:
• the R3000 Power supply unit - provides the additional output required to drive heater
element
• the Heater upgrade kit - all the parts that are to be included in the transceiver unit
• the cable - connects the R3000 Power supply unit to the transceiver heater power
connector
Power cables for connection between R3000 Power supply unit and Heater kit are available
in 15, 30 and 65 m lengths.
SI80 Signal Interface unit
The optional SI80 Signal Interface unit is used to provide an additional IEC 61162-2 port.
Connection to the R3016 Control unit is made via NMEA 2000. The SI80 provides power and
termination for the backbone.

Installation overview
The information provided by radar is of vital importance to skippers and the safe navigation
of ships. Special care should be taken to ensure correct installation of the radar, in order to
ensure the performance of the radar system is not compromised. Interference, either by
reflecting structures or other RF transmitters, may significantly impair radar performance by
creating blind sectors, clutter on the radar display or generation of false targets. All hardware
should be mounted with appropriate gauge and number of fasteners, and structure radar is
mounted to should be determined to be fit for purpose, capable of supporting the radar in
any weather or sea state.
Interference
Other radar
Do not install the radar transceiver on the same beam plane as other radar – provide at least
45 degrees vertical separation. Use sector blanking as required to eliminate interference from
same frequency radar on vessel.

Other RF sources
The radar antenna should be installed at a safe distance from interfering high-power energy
sources and other transmitting and receiving radio antennas.
Sensitive equipment
Some electronics such as GPS and electronic heading sensors may be particularly sensitive to
radar emissions. Follow the manufacturers guide on suitable separation distances. Avoid
having such equipment directly in the beam of the radar.
Obstructions and blind sectors
The antenna should be mounted clear of any structure that may cause signal reflections and
resultant blind sectors. Large flat metallic structures perpendicular to the radar generally
cause the worst reflections, and should be avoided.
Railings
The underside of the radar antenna should be a minimum of 50 cm above any safety rail.
Swing diameter
Ensure all obstructions are clear of the rotation of the antenna (see "Up-mast transceiver and
antennas" on page 37). To avoid the antenna coming in contact with other installed objects
while it is rotating, ensure that there is at least 200 mm between the swing circle (turning
radius) and the other installed objects.
Blind sectors
It should be kept to a minimum, and not occur in an area of the horizon from right ahead to
22.5° abaft the beam to either side. Any two blind sectors separated by 3° or less should be
treated as one combined blind sector. Individual blind sectors of more than 5°, or a total of
blind sectors of more than 20°, should not occur in the remaining area abaft the
aforementioned area. For radar installations with two radar systems, where possible, the
antennas should be placed in such a way as to minimize the blind sectors.
Distance to water surface
For all radar systems and where practical, a line of sight from the radar antenna to the bow of
the ship should hit the surface of the sea at no more than 500 m or twice the ship length,
depending which value is smaller. This goes for all load and trim conditions.
