Install the radar | 9

A radar unit should only be installed by a qualified marine technician, as potentially

lethal high voltage is present along with heavy rotating parts.

There is a transmit interlock that prevents radar transmissions if the scanner is not

rotating. However, a high voltage remains for a period of time after the system is

turned off. If you are not familiar with this type of electronics, consult with a trained

service or installation technician before attempting to service any part of the

equipment.

Installation includes:

• mechanical mounting

• electrical wiring

• configuring the display or network system to work with the radar

• adjusting the radar for proper performance

Don't take any shortcuts, and follow these instructions carefully!

This section explains how to:

• choose the correct location for the scanner

• install the scanner on a power boat or a yacht

• choose the correct location for the radar processor

• install the radar processor

Read the important warning and safety information above before you install the radar.

Note: For best MARPA functionality, heading information received by the radar processor needs

to be a minimum of 10 Hz, depending on the display head being used. See the section relating

to the display head you are connecting to for more information.
