Page 9: Introduction
Introduction The Humminbird Radar scanner is a compact, solid-state radar that utilizes CHIRP pulse compression for improved range resolution. Connect the Radar scanner to your Humminbird control head to view a map-like representation of the area surrounding your vessel, enabling you to identify other vessels, buoys, and land features such as coastlines and hills. -
Page 10: Installation Preparation
Following are instructions for the installation of this accessory. Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your Humminbird accessory. Supplies: In addition to the hardware included in this box, you will need a separate 12 or 24 VDC power supply from that used for engine start, adhesive tape, a powered hand drill and various drill bits, various hand tools, safety glasses, and a dust mask. -
Page 11: Determine The Cable Requirements
2. Determine the Cable Requirements Depending on your Humminbird model and network configuration, you may need to purchase additional accessories to connect your Radar scanner to your control head or Ethernet network. Before starting the installation, determine whether you will need to purchase Ethernet Adapter Cables or extension cables. -

- Page 15 Potential Interference For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that wherever possible: • Humminbird equipment and cables connected to it are: – At least 3 feet (1 m) 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 7 feet (2 m).
- Page 16 Compensating for Bow Rise wedge or washers Mounting Base The Radar scanner can be installed directly to a roof or other flat surface. The mounting location must be secure enough to support the Radar scanner under seagoing conditions. You can also use a mounting bracket (separate purchase required).
- Page 17 Do NOT attach other equipment to either the Radar scanner or the bracket. • Maintenance: Humminbird strongly recommends that you check the condition and security of the bracket mounting feet, the security lanyard(s), the Radar scanner guard, and the Radar scanner itself, on a yearly basis (or more frequently depending on environmental applications).
