All the areas listed must be addressed during commissioning, and they should be stepped through in the listed sequence. When the setup is completed, the R5000 processor must be restarted. Refer to "Reboot device" on page 19. The settings are split between: •...
The system setup is done from the settings dialog. Access control Some of the parameters in the settings dialogs are intended for system setup and service engineers. These parameters are protected, and they are only available by entering the password QWERTY. Software setup | R5000 Commissioning manual...
Do not use the radar in service mode during normal navigation. Service mode is indicated on the radar PPI. Service mode remains active until it is manually closed, or until the R5000 processor is restarted or switched to standby mode. Configuring the O2000 The O2000 controller has to be assigned to a radar control station before it can be used.
Ú Note: The display key on the O2000 controller is only used for configuration. The behavior described in the O2000 User manual is not relevant when used in an R5000 system. Assigning the O2000 to a control station With the O2000 configuration dialog open:...
Used for detailed configuration of the user interface. Reboot device Used for rebooting the R5000 processor. When this option is selected, the R5000 processor restarts and the radar sensor is switched to standby mode. Other units in the radar system remains on. Registration Guidance for online registration of the device.

The antenna height is the height of the antenna above the water line, when vessel is carrying a typical load. It is very important to set the antenna height correctly as this will affect the sea clutter function. The antenna span is the total length of the antenna.

The value of the STC curve is optimized during testing at the factory, and will usually not require any adjustment after installation. It is possible to change the amplitude and the slope of the pre-STC curve. This adjustment optimizes the minimum visible distance, and it can affect the auto-tuning performance.

Control stations Displays a list of control stations on the network. A control station is identified by the serial number of its R5000 radar processor. The serial numbers are added automatically for all R5000 radar processors on the Interswitch network. If you need to add some units which are offline, the serial number must be entered manually.
