How to preset antenna and display combinations

You can preset the antenna and display combinations for each antenna and display
in the radar system. As an example, the procedure below shows how to select the no.
1 antenna unit for the no. 2 display unit.
1. Open the menu.
2. Select [9 INITIAL SETTINGS].
3. Select [3 SELECT ANTENNA]. The [SELECT ANTENNA] menu appears.
Note: You can also right-click the [ANTENNA] box to access this menu.
4. Select the display unit for which to select an antenna (at the next step). For the
purpose of this example, select [DISP2] to select the no. 2 display unit.
The indication for the antenna is highlighted.
5. Spin the scrollwheel to toggle between [MASTER] and [SLAVE]. The MASTER
system passes on settings such as [CPA], [TCPA] and alarm settings to SLAVE
radars connected to the same network.
6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set other display and antenna combinations.
7. Select [SAVE INTER-SWITCH], then select [YES] to save your selections.
8. Close the menu.
Antenna selection considerations
• An antenna unit cannot be controlled from multiple display units. Select one Master
display unit for one antenna unit. If two antenna units are set as masters, the display
last-set as master becomes the master and all other displays are automatically
changed to slave.
• An antenna unit without a Master display cannot be selected on the sub display
units. If there is no antenna unit set as master, the lowest number display is auto-
matically set as master.
• If the Alert "EXT RADAR ERROR" appears, do one of the following, as applicable:
- If only your antenna is not displayed on the [ANT SELECT] display, the LAN line
in the Processor Unit may be faulty. In this case, use the standalone mode.
- If the antenna that was in use does not appear on the [ANT SELECT] display, the
LAN line in other Processor Unit may be faulty. In this case, see the preceding page
for how to select a different antenna unit
• When the Network fails, the Interswitch does not work, but standalone operation is
possible.
• Disable the Dual Radar function from the [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu (see the
Installation manual IME-36520) before setting up the Interswitch feature.
• When using a FAR-2xx7 series radar for Interswitch connection, the following set-
tings must be done from the FAR-2xx7 [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu.
• Set [SCANNER]
• Set [NETWORK]
• When using a FAR-3xx0 series radar for Interswitch connection, the following set-
tings must be done from the FAR-3xx0 [RADAR INSTALLATION] menu.
• Set [SCANNER]
• Set [NETWORK]
• Set the radar number as [1], [2], [3] or [4].
• Disable the [Icing Prevention] feature.
