INSTALLATION

This section provides practical guidelines to assist in the planning and installa-
tion of the RADAR 3000 aboard your vessel.

3.1 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Use care when unpacking the RADAR 3000 radar from the shipping carton to
prevent damage to the contents. It is also good practice to save the carton and
the interior packing material until the radar has been satisfactorily installed on
the vessel. The original packing material should be used in the unlikely event
that it is necessary to return the unit for service.

3.2 PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

The layout for installing the RADAR 3000 should be planned to give the best
operation and service aboard your particular vessel. In general, the scanner unit
should be mounted as high as possible above the waterline. The display unit
should be installed in a convenient viewing position near the helm. Keep in
mind the optimum viewing angle when installing the display. You may want to
apply power in advance of installing the unit as that you can determine a satis-
factory viewing angle.
A 10 meter length of interunit cable is furnished for interconnecting the two
main units (scanner and display). This length of interunit cable should be suffi-
cient to complete the cable run required on most small vessels. It is recom-
mended that the maximum length of interunit cable not exceed 20 meters.
A general system diagram for the RADAR 3000 is shown on the following
page.
