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 in the Preface 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.
