INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
Failure to install this device according to these instructions could result in personal injury, damage to the vessel
or device, or poor product performance.
The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. To avoid possible personal injury, damage to the vessel or device,
or poor product performance, ensure that the radar is installed according to the recommendations in these
instructions and that all personnel are clear of the path of the radar beam before transmitting. When properly
installed and operated, the use of this radar conforms to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly at the antenna at close range when the radar is
transmitting. Eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or
product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product
specifications. Connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty.
CAUTION
For the best possible performance and to avoid potential injury, damage to the device, or damage to your vessel,
installation by a qualified marine installer is recommended.
Opening the device may result in personal injury and/or damage to the device. This device contains no user-
serviceable parts, and should be opened only by a Garmin
®
authorized service technician. Any damage resulting
from opening the unit by anyone other than a Garmin authorized service technician will not be covered by the
Garmin warranty.
This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Using the device for any purpose requiring precise
measurement or direction, distance, location, or topography may result in personal injury or damage to the
vessel.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Software Update
You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you install this device. For instructions on updating the
software, see your chartplotter owner's manual at support.garmin.com.

This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Using the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement or direction, distance, location, or topography may result in personal injury or damage to the vessel.
  • Page 2: Tools Needed

    Tools Needed • #2 Phillips screwdriver • 5 mm hex wrench • Drill and 15.0 mm (  in.) drill bit • 17 mm (  in.) wrench and torque wrench • A length of 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to ground the radar housing (and voltage converter, if applicable).
  • Page 3: Mounting Considerations

    The weight for each model and antenna is listed in the product specifications. • The radar must be mounted in a location where it can be connected to power, water ground, and the Garmin network (Wiring and Connection Considerations, page 8).
  • Page 4: Installation Procedures

    Installation Procedures Preparing the Surface and the Radar for Mounting Before you can mount the radar, you must choose a suitable mounting location (Mounting Considerations, page 3). 1 Secure the included mounting template to the surface at the mounting location, along the bow-stern axis, as indicated on the template.
  • Page 5 7 Insert the ends of the threaded rods coated in Petrolatum Primer into the pedestal. 8 Tighten the threaded rods using a 5 mm hex wrench. To avoid damaging the pedestal, you should stop tightening the threaded rods when they no longer turn easily.
  • Page 6 3 From under the mounting surface, place the shoulder washers on the threaded rods and feed them into the mounting surface so they fit securely. 4 Place the flat washers , lock washers , and hex nuts on the threaded rods. 5 Torque the hex nuts to 1.5 kgf-m (130 lbf-in.
  • Page 7: Installing The Antenna

    Installing the Antenna Before you can install the antenna on the pedestal, you must securely mount the pedestal (Mounting the Radar, page 5). 1 Remove the protective cover from the waveguide on the top of the pedestal. 2 Remove the mounting hardware from the bottom of the antenna These screws and washers are used to secure the antenna to the pedestal.
  • Page 8 You must apply marine sealant to the hole after the cables are in place to ensure a waterproof seal. If you must make the routing hole in a visible location, 32 mm (1  in.) decorative cable grommets can be purchased from your local Garmin dealer, or you can go to buy.garmin.com (optional).
  • Page 9 Do not reuse any voltage converters from previous Garmin radar models, or third party voltage converters. Using any converter other than one included with the radar, or the correct converter purchased from Garmin or from your local Garmin dealer may damage the radar or prevent it from turning on.
  • Page 10 NOTE: Although some radar models do not require and are not packaged with a voltage converter, you can purchase one from your local Garmin dealer or go to buy.garmin.com. Using a voltage converter with these models allows them to withstand stronger winds. See the specifications section for details.
  • Page 11 Item Description To the Garmin network 15 A fuse holder To the boat battery (11 to 32 Vdc) Water ground connection 1 Route the power cable to the radar and boat battery. 2 Connect the power cable to the boat battery. 3 Connect the power cable to the POWER port on the radar.
  • Page 12 Grounding the Radar The radar (and voltage converter, if applicable) must be connected to the appropriate type of ground using a 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire (not included). 1 Route a 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to a water ground location and to the radar pedestal. 2 Connect the wire to the ground connector on the pedestal ( ) using the pre-installed crimp connector.
  • Page 13: Radar Operation

    This radar connects to compatible Garmin devices to share radar data. When connecting this radar to a Garmin network device, observe these considerations. There are two sizes of Garmin network cable connectors that may be used on various devices in your system. • The smaller network connectors are present on many newer Garmin devices.
  • Page 14: Setting A Custom Park Position

    Measuring and Setting the Front-of-Boat Offset The front-of-boat offset compensates for the physical orientation of the radar scanner on a boat, if the radar scanner does not align with the bow-stern axis. The front-of-boat offset setting configured for use in one radar mode is applied to every other radar mode and to the radar overlay.
  • Page 15: Specifications

    If a 430 xHD3 is installed using an optional voltage converter, it is capable of withstanding winds of up to 100 kn. The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min, and is protected against powerful jets of water. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/waterrating.
