1 m with a safety rail both of a suitable height. The design of the mounting platform for the HALO 5000 radar should take into account the vibration requirements defined by IEC 60945. The mounting platform should be level when the vessel is loaded and underway at a typical cruise speed.
Do not install the HALO 5000 radar on the same horizontal beam plane as any other radar. Radar antennas in close proximity should have a minimum vertical separation angle of 45° and a minimum vertical separation of 2 m (6 ft).

HALO 5000 pedestal ⚠ WARNING: Leave the waveguide protection cap on the pedestal while you mount it to your vessel. You should only remove the cap just before you fit the antenna to the pedestal. Bolts and washers The eight hex head bolts supplied are suitable for surfaces up to 25 mm (1”) in thickness.

5 Remove the mounting template. 6 Apply the supplied Tef-Gel anti-corrosion gel to the four feet of the pedestal. ® 7 Lift the pedestal using the supplied lifting strap. ⚠ Do not lift the pedestal with the antenna attached. WARNING: 8 Lower the pedestal carefully so its mounting holes align with the drilled holes in the vessel.

12 Apply the Tef-Gel anti-corrosion gel to the thread of the Ethernet connector. ® 13 Connect the 8-pin end of the Ethernet cable to the pedestal. Take care to align the connector correctly to avoid bending the pins. Secure the collar by rotating clockwise. 14 Connect the 3-pin power cable to the pedestal.

Fit the antenna to the pedestal ⚠ WARNING: Do not operate the radar without the antenna connected. 1 Remove the waveguide protection cap from the pedestal and the waveguide protection label from the underside of the antenna. Note: The cap and label prevent contaminants from entering the waveguide. Only remove these covers just before fitting the ¼...

4 Carefully lower the antenna on to the pedestal. Note: The antenna can only fit one way. ¼ 5 Place a flat washer then a spring washer followed by a dome nut on to each of the antenna studs. 6 Tighten the dome nuts using a socket and torque wrench to 15 N.m (11 lb-ft). Note: Using a socket and torque wrench minimizes the risk of damaging the powder coated surface of the pedestal.
