1. HOW TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM
1.2.6 How to connect the signal cable (FR-8065/FR-8125/FR-8255)
Only the signal cable runs from the display unit (power supply unit in case of FR-8255)
to the antenna unit. In order to minimize the chance of picking up electrical interfer-
ence, avoid where possible routing the signal cable near other onboard electrical
equipment. Also, avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables. Pass the cable
through the hole and apply sealing compound around the hole for waterproofing.
Fabricating the signal cable
This type of signal cable is used with other models of radar. For these models, the fol-
lowing fabrication is required.
