SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The installer must read and follow all the safety instructions before attempting to install the equipment. WARNING CAUTION Warning, Caution Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Page 3
WARNING WARNING Do not open the equipment unless totally familiar with electrical circuits and service manual. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Wear a hard hat and safety belt when mounting the antenna unit. Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna mast.

1. MOUNTING 1.1 Antenna Unit Mounting considerations The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse, on the radar mast, or on a suitable platform. The mounting location should afford a good all-round view and satisfy the siting and mounting considerations mentioned below.
Page 9
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 clear- ance for the radiator, the antenna unit, because of its weight, will swing up and down by ship's vibration and rolling.
Page 10
Assembling the antenna unit The antenna unit should be assembled before mounting it. Follow the procedure below to assemble the antenna unit. 1. Screw the guide pins (2 pcs.) in the radiator. 2. Remove the protective cap from the choke guide and radiator. 3.

Page 41
How to adjust the overvoltage detection circuit 1. Add or remove the jumper connector P8 as appropriate and change the fuse, referring to the table above for details. 2. On the PWR board, set R21 fully clockwise. 3. Connect a variable transformer between ship's mains and the input power terminal board TB-1 in the processor unit.
3. ADJUSTMENTS This section provides the information necessary for setting and adjusting the radar, which is car- ried out from the radar's menu system. Menus may be accessed from the keyboard or on-screen menu in case of Control Unit RCU-014, or on-screen menu in case of Control Unit RCU-015. The menu illustrations in this chapter show default settings in bold face.
3.2 Heading Alignment You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading line (zero degrees). In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit.
