Location
The scanner unit is designed for high-pressure water
jet resistance (except for the cable connectors).
Select a place for installation that meets the following
important conditions.
•
The scanner unit must be near the
vessel’s center
line and have a good view in every direction. Be
sure there are no objects in the surrounding area
that will interfere with the scanning beam.
• Keep the scanner unit away from any exhaust pipes.
Exhaust gas can damage the unit.
• When the vessel
is equipped with a Radio
Directional Finder (RDF) system, keep the scanner
unit at least 2 m (6.6 ft) away from any RDF
antenna.
Radiation from the scanner unit can affect the
measurement data of RDF equipment.
•
The unit should be placed as high as possible
on the vessel to obtain best performance with
maximum range.
• If you install two or more radar in one vessel, install
one above, and the other(s) below.
•
The
mounting surface must be parallel with the
vessel’s waterline.
•
If the height is insufficient to install the scanner unit,
build a special frame for installation.
