1. MOUNTING NOTICE Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors. Antenna Unit Mounting considerations • The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast, on a suitable platform Locate the antenna unit in an elevated position to permit maximum target visibility.
Page 12 1. MOUNTING • Install the antenna unit safely away from interfering high-power energy sources and other transmitting radio antenna. • Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit (antenna radiator) above the safety rail by 500 mm or more. • Two antenna units should be mounted as below: more than 20 more than 1 m...
Page 13 1. MOUNTING 1.1.1 FAR-2827W antenna unit Assembling the antenna unit The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and the antenna unit chassis, and they are packed separately. Fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis as follows: 1. Attach two guide pins (supplied as installation) materials to the underside of the antenna radiator.
Page 14 1. MOUNTING Antenna radiator Waveguide Radiator bracket Hex bolt (M8x40), 8 pcs. O-ring Fastening the radiator to the radiator bracket Coating the waveguide flange with silicone sealant 1. Do not coat O-ring with silicone sealant; use grease. 2. Clean the surface of the waveguide flange, if necessary. Evenly coat the waveguide flange with silicone sealant as shown in the illustration below.
Page 15 1. MOUNTING Fastening the antenna unit to the mounting platform The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. However, do not lift the antenna unit by the radiator. Always hold the unit by its housing. When using a crane or hoist, lift the unit by the hoist rings which should be fastened to the bolt fixing covers of the antenna housing.
Page 16 1. MOUNTING 6. Using hex bolt (M6x25), nut (M6) and flat washer (M6), establish the ground system on the mounting platform as shown below. The location should be within 340 mm of the ground terminal on the antenna unit. Connect the ground wire (RW-4747, 340 mm, supplied) between the grounding point and ground terminal on the antenna unit.
Page 17 1. MOUNTING 1.1.2 FAR-2837SW antenna unit Installation precaution for S-band antenna unit If an S-band antenna unit is mounted near the end of a platform to provide sufficient rotation clearance for the radiator, the antenna unit, because of its weight, swings up and down by ship’s vibration and rolling, exerting excessive levels of stress at the base of the radiator, which can damage the radiator.
Page 18 1. MOUNTING Antenna unit assembling The antenna radiator and the antenna housing are shipped in separate packages. Assemble them as below.
