Page 32: Potential Ignition Source
6.2 Radar position overview The optimum height for the Cyclone radar is a location that is high enough above the waterline to give a long range line-of-sight to the horizon, but not so high as to be adversely affected by the vessel's pitching and rolling. - Page 33 • Mount the scanner above head height out of range of personnel, to avoid mechanical danger and minimize exposure to electromagnetic radiation. • 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 display (see below).
-
Page 34: Compass Safe Distance
Cables • All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. • Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a watertight feed-through. 6.4 Compass safe distance To prevent potential interference with the vessel's magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance is maintained from the product. -
Page 35: Multiple Radar Scanners - Location Requirements
Wedge or washers 6.6 Multiple Radar scanners — location requirements Important location considerations when installing multiple radar scanners on the same vessel. • Scanners should be mounted above each other, vertically separated by at least 0.5 m (1.6 ft). This applies to all installation locations on the vessel. - Page 36 Power supply Select a location that is as close as possible to the vessel’s DC power source. This will help to keep cable runs to a minimum.

Important: Prepared suitable lifting equipment for fixing the pedestal to the mounting platform. The lifting... - Page 46 6. Remove the mounting template. 7. The pedestal has a transit cover fitted over the open array. This cover must be left in place until the open array antenna is fitted to the pedestal. 8. Insert the studs no more than 11 mm into the holes in the pedestal base, and hand-tighten. If the supplied studs are not long enough for the mounting surface thickness, use M10 stainless steel, grade A4-70 studding of a suitable length.
- Page 47 10. Lift the pedestal up and connect the power and data cables to the connectors on the underside of the pedestal. Organise the cables in accordance with your planned cable routing and place the pedestal back into position. Important: For more information refer to p.37 —...
- Page 48 13. Ensure all 4 sets of nuts and washers are used to secure the pedestal to the mounting platform. There should be no more than 6 mm of excess stud below the nut. Cut-off any excess stud. Attaching the antenna Before attaching the antenna to the pedestal unit, ensure that: •...
- Page 49 Important: Take care not to damage the open array’s delicate contacts when removing the cover. 2. Referring to the following illustration, lower the antenna onto the pedestal, placing the front on first and clipping it in place. 3. Using the 4 hex bolts and associated washers and O rings, secure the antenna to the pedestal. Tighten each nut to 10 N m (7.4 lb ft).

Radar scanner unit or the bracket. • Raymarine 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 unit itself, on a yearly basis (or more frequently depending on environmental applications). - Page 51 1. Check the selected location for the unit. The VCM100 requires a clear, flat area with suitable space for routing the cables below the unit. 2. Hold the VCM100 in place in the required mounting location. 3. Using a pencil, mark the drilling area inside the mounting lug on each side of the VCM100 unit. 4.
