Page 6: Introduction
Introduction This manual explains how to install the radar scanner (antenna + pedestal) and the Navico radar processor. There are also details how to connect the radar to the various brands of displays produced by Navico. This manual should be used in conjunction with the installation manual provided with the display. - Page 7 (measurement Antenna face distance, cm) distance, cm) distance, cm) 10kW: 32.8 W/m2 26cm (0.86 ft) 123cm (4.04 ft) TXL-10S-4 TXL-10S-6 25kW: 74.7 W/m2 5cm (0.16 ft) 81cm (2.66 ft) 162cm (5.31 ft) TXL-25S-7 Note: Limits apply to exposure within the vertical beam angle.

When you’re deciding on the location, please consider: • To avoid the scanner coming in contact with other installed objects while it is rotating, ensure that there is at least 200 millimeters between the swing circle (turning radius) and the other installed objects. -

However, when a power boat is traveling at high speed, the bow rises up out of the water and if the elevation angle (trim) of the bow is raised up so that it equals, or exceeds, 50% of the vertical beam width of the radar, this can cause two problems: •... -

Page 13: Hardware Mounting
Hardware mounting Install the radar processor Install the radar processor in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips and condensation. It is preferable that the processor is mounted vertically, with the connectors facing downwards. Avoid installing the processor with the connectors facing upwards, as any water that may ingress the installation area or travels down the connected cables could pool around the connectors. -
Page 14: Install The Scanner
Install the scanner Ensure all points in “Choose the scanner location” on page 4 have been considered. Fitting the antenna to the pedestal Remove the protective caps from the antenna and pedestal, shortly before fi tting. When placing antenna on to pedestal, ensure correct orientation is used - both the antenna and the platform on the pedestal have a front and back edge, even though they may appear nearly symetrical. - Page 15 Fixing the scanner in place Both the 10 kW and 25 kW pedestals have four mounting points. Stick down the mounting template in the desired installation location, observing correct orientation. Minor deviation can be compensated for in the radar interface. Drill pilot holes, followed by the mounting holes to suit mounting fasteners.

Page 16: Wiring
Wiring Guidelines When wiring the radar: • DON’T make sharp bends in the cables • DON’T run cables in a way that allows water to fl ow down on to the connectors • DON’T allow the scanner cable to place pressure on the radar processor connector But: •... - Page 17 Carefully unwrap the copper tape (1) and black PVC tape (2). Shorten both the foil shield (3) and the clear insulation material (4) so that an extra 50mm of cable is exposed. Re-use the copper tape on the end of the foil, ensuring it is stuck to the same side as before, to ensure good conductivity.
- Page 18 In the lower half of the housing, secure the cable under the cable clamp. The cable should have enough slack to not interfere with opening or closing of the case. Fit the cable gland assembly. Use silicon sealant around the cable entry point. Use silicon sealant around the mounting bolts Close the pedestal and fi rmly secure it with the screws.

Radar scanner: 25 kW Fitting the scanner cable Unscrew the four cover bolts and lift up the hinged cover of the pedestal. Remove the cable gland assembly from the lower half of the pedestal. Pass the scanner end of the radar cable through the cable gland (1), plain washer (2), rubber gasket (3) and another plain washer (4), in the order shown. - Page 20 Connect the fi ve scanner cable connectors to the ‘J’ connectors as follows: Cable Connector Pedestal Connector (on PCB) Use the cable clamp (1) to secure the cable to the upper housing. The clamp should hold the cable at the point where it is wrapped in copper tape. Close the pedestal case sides, securing them with the supplied screws.
- Page 21 Earth the 25 kW scanner The earth point must be connected to the vessel’s ground system. Connect the earth strap (A) to the pedestal with a hexagonal bolt (C). Connect the other end of copper Earth strap to the mounting location, using the special hexagonal Earth bolt (B) apply silicon sealant around both the bolts.

Use of a adaptor is required to convert from RJ45 connector to the 5 pin connector used on Simrad network hubs and displays.
- Page 24 Connect the NMEA/Comms cable (Heading) A heading sensor is required for the following functionality; • MARPA : heading at 10hz or faster is required for the radar processor. Heading must also be connected to the display. • Radar Chart overlay: heading is required by the display to correctly overlay the radar over a chart.
