SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Radio Frequency Radiation
Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic
radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never
look directly into the antenna aperture from
a close distance while the radar is in
operation or expose yourself to the trans-
mitting antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of
100 and 10 W/m
2
exist are given in the
table below.
Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a
close distance in front of the wheel house,
your administration may require halt of
transmission within a certain sector of
antenna revolution. This is possible–Ask
your FURUNO representative or dealer to
provide this feature.

Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
Wear a safety belt and hard
hat when working on the
antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can
result if someone falls from
the radar antenna mast.
DANGER
Construct a suitable service platform
from which to install the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if some-
one falls from the radar antenna mast.
Turn off the power at the mains switch-
board before beginning the installation.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can
result if the power is left on or is applied
while the equipment is being installed.

WARNING
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
Do not install the monitor unit,
processor unit or control unit where
they may get wet from rain or
water splash.
Fire or damage to the equipment can result
if a different cable is used.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or damage the equipment .
Use only the specified power cable.
Water in the units can result in fire,
electrical shock, or damage the equipment.
Attach securely protective
earth to the ship's body.
The protective earth
(grounding) is required to the
AC power supply to prevent
electrical shock.

1. MOUNTING
1.1 Antenna Unit
Mounting considerations
• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar
mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit where there is a good all-round
view.
• No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna unit in
the bow direction, especially zero degrees ±5°, to prevent blind sectors and false echoes
on the radar picture.
• It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all
directions is available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing
of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting.
• Locate a direction finder antenna clear of the antenna unit to prevent interference to the
direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
• To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing
the signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment. Also avoid running the cable in
parallel with power cables.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the antenna unit is placed too close to the
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation
of the magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• The signal cable run between the antenna and processor units is available in lengths of
15 m (standard), 30 m and 50 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely,
no splicing allowed.
• The antenna base is made of cast aluminum. To prevent electrolytic corrosion of the
antenna base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat and ground the unit
with the ground wire (supplied).
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial
performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The antenna unit must not be
mounted where the temperature is more than 55°C.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the antenna
unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.

Assembling the antenna unit
The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and the antenna unit chassis, and they
are packed separately. Fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis as follows:
1. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, attach two guide pins to the underside of the antenna
radiator.
2. Remove the waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.
3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive sealant as shown below.

4. Coat fixing holes for the antenna radiator with anticorrosive sealant.
5. Grease the O-ring and set it to the O-ring groove of the radiator flange.
6. Set the antenna radiator to the radiator bracket.
7. Coat hex bolts M8 x 40 (for XN-20AF or XN-24AF) or hex bolt M8x35/ flat washer/spring
washer (for XN-12AF) with anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the
antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis.
8. Remove two guide pins (inserted at step 1), and then tighten fixing bolts.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove the guide pins.
Injury may result if the guide pins loosen
and fall.

Fastening the radiator to the radiator bracket
Fastening the antenna unit to the mounting platform
The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. However,
do not lift the antenna unit by the radiator. Always hold the unit by its housing. When using a
crane or hoist, lift the unit by the hoist rings which should be fastened to the bolt fixing
covers of the antenna housing.
NOTICE
NO!
- To hoist antenna unit aboard vessel, attach ropes to lifting fixtures and hoist unit with crane.
- To remove load from radiator when hoisting, the length of the rope between the radiator base
and the hook on the should be at least 130 cm.
- To keep the rope away from the radiator, turn the radiator and chassis approx.30 degrees as
shown below.
- Be sure to remove the lfiting fixtures after hoisting is completed.

2. Drill four mounting holes of 15 mm diameter and one cable entry hole of about 50 mm
diameter in the mounting platform.
3. Lay the rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.

5. Fasten the antenna unit to the mounting platform with M12x60 hex bolts, nuts, flat
washers and seal washers.
6. Using hex bolt (M6x25), nut (M6) and flat washer (M6), establish the ground system on
the mounting platform as shown below. The location should be within 340 mm of the
ground terminal on the antenna unit. Connect the ground wire (RW-4747, 340 mm,
supplied) between the grounding point and ground terminal on the antenna unit. Coat
the entire ground system with silicone sealant (supplied).

1.2 Monitor Unit
The monitor unit can be flush mounted in a console panel, or mounted on a desktop using
the optional accessories.
Note: FAR-2117-BB/2127-BB have no monitor unit. Prepare a suitable monitor locally.
Recommended monitor: SXGA (1280x1024), aspect ratio 5:4
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the display unit can be viewed conveniently and where the
screen can be viewed while facing towards the bow.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that
can build up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the monitor unit is placed too close to the magnetic

1.3 Control Unit
The control unit may be mounted on a desktop, with or without the KB fixing metal
(supplied), which mounts the control unit at an angle.
Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the control unit can be operated conveniently.
• Locate the unit away from heat sources because of heat that can build up inside the
cabinet.
• Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Determine the mounting location considering the length of the signal cable between the
control unit and the processor unit. (The 10m signal cable is attached to the control unit).
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the control unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of a
magnetic compass.
