    ⚠ Warning: Before starting the installation or any maintenance on a HALO 2000 SERIES or HALO 3000 SERIES radar, make sure the service mode switch at the back of the pedestal is set to 0 (power supply disabled).
  • Page 13: Compass Safe Distance

    0.1 m (0.33 ft) Multi-radar installations Do not install your HALO 2000 SERIES or HALO 3000 SERIES radar on the same horizontal beam plane as any other radar. Separate them vertically by at least 2 m (6.6 ft). 2 m (6.6 ft) 2 m (6.6 ft)
  • Page 14: Considerations For Roof Mounting

    If you install your HALO radar on a power boat with a steep planing angle, it is recommended you tilt the radar angle down at the front. ¼ Note: Optional 4° base wedges are available from third-party suppliers. Considerations for roof mounting When deciding a suitable mounting location for your HALO radar, be aware that the vertical radar beam extends to 25°...

  • Page 17: Hardware Mounting

    HARDWARE MOUNTING Install the RI-50 radar interface module Install the RI-50 in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips, condensation or excessive heat. The mounting position should be easily accessible. Always mount the RI-50 vertically, with the cable entry points facing downwards. This helps with cooling and helps prevent any water from entering the cable grommets.
  • Page 18: Run The Interconnection Cable

    Run the interconnection cable The interconnection cable is 10.5 mm (0.4”) in diameter. The 14-pin connector end of the cable connects to the pedestal. The RJ45 connector connects to the RI-50 radar interface module. 1 Drill a 14 mm hole to pass the RJ45 connector from the pedestal to the RI-50, or a 24 mm (0.95”) hole to pass the 14-pin connector from the RI-50 to the pedestal.
  • Page 19: Surface Mount: Rear Cable Connection

    If you are installing the pedestal onto a steel surface, also use the supplied plastic isolating washers. Surface mount: rear cable connection 1 Place the mounting template in your desired installation location, observing the correct orientation. ¼ Note: You can compensate for any minor deviations in orientation later by using the radar’s bearing alignment setting on your multi-function display.

  • Page 21 11 Insert the bolts through the drilled holes and into the pedestal’s threaded mounting holes. Tighten the bolts securely. ¼ Note: The torque settings for the mounting bolts are 30 N.m – 40 N.m (22.1 lb-ft – 39.5 lb-ft). 12 Connect the 14-pin end of the interconnection cable to the pedestal. Take care to align the connector correctly to avoid bending the pins.
  • Page 22: Pole Or Tower Mount: Discreet Cable Connection

    Pole or tower mount: discreet cable connection The interconnection cable can be optionally connected underneath the pedestal by moving the 14-pin connector at the back of the pedestal to a bracket underneath the pedestal. 1 Remove the retaining nut and pull out the connector. 2 Remove the blanking plug from the bracket underneath the pedestal.

  • Page 28: Connect The Interconnection Cable

    6 Pass the cables through the rubber grommets and into the RI-50. For cables with connectors, you need to cut a slit between the hole and edge of the grommet. Connect the interconnection cable To receive Ethernet data from the radar, connect the RJ45 connector end of the interconnection cable to the SCANNER connector on the circuit board.
