SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
The installer must read the applicable safety instructions before attempting to operate or install the
equipment.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
can result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION
Warning, Caution Prohibitive Action Mandatory Action
DANGER
Construct a suitable service platform
from which to install the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if
someone falls from the radar antenna
mast.
Do not open the equipment.
This equipment uses high voltage
electricity which can shock, burn or
cause serious injury. Only qualified
personnel can work inside the equipment.
WARNING
Turn off the power at the mains
switchboard 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.
Be sure that the power supply is
compatible with the voltage rating of
the equipment.
Connection of an incorrect power supply
can cause fire or damage the
equipment.
Attach protective earth securely to the
ship's body.
The protective earth (grounding) is
required for the AC power supply to
prevent electrical shock.
WARNING
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or damage to the equipment can
result if a different cable is used.
Do not install the units (other than the
antenna unit) in a dusty environment,
or one where the units may get wet
from rain or water splash.
Dust or water in the units can result in
fire, electrical shock, or damage to the
equipment.

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 transmitting antenna at a close distance. Distances at which RF radiation
level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
2
are given in the table below.
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. See the installation manual for how to manage
blind sectors.

Notes
1) The gyrocompass must be type approved for compliance with IMO resolution A.424(XI) (and/
or resolution A.821(19) for installation on HSC). The gyrocompass must also have an update
rate that is adequate for the ship’s rate of turn. The update rate must be better than 40 Hz
(HSC) or 20 Hz (conventional vessel).
2) The EPFS must be type approved for compliance with IMO resolution MSC.112(73).
3) These monitors have been approved by the IMO, MU-190 for CAT 2 and CAT 2H, MU-231/
MU-270W for CAT 1 and CAT 1H. If a different monitor is to be used on IMO vessels, its ef-
fective diameter must meet the Category requirements:
• CAT 1 and CAT 1H: effective diameter 320 mm or higher
• CAT 2 and CAT 2H: effective diameter 250 mm or higher
For installation, operation and viewing distance of other monitor, see its manuals.
For BB type, a monitor unit is prepared by user.
4) Characteristics of contact output for Alarm:
• (Load current) 250 mA
• (Polarity) Normally Open: 2 ports, Normally Close: 2 ports
• Serial I/O for alarm is also possible, which complies with IEC 61162-1.
5) For configurations with 3 or more radars/ECDIS (FMD-3100/FMD-3200/FMD-3300) connect-
ed, connect via the HUB-3000. For 2 radars, HUB-100 can be used. Connection to a FMD (EC-
DIS) is not available for C-type radars.
6) For configurations with a VDR connected, connect via the HUB-3000. Connection to a VDR is
not available for C-type radars.
7) Some antenna configurations do not have an in-built Performance Monitor. This type of anten-
na is not usable for IMO-type radars.
8) For connecting non-FURUNO ECDIS only. For connection of radars or plotters, the connection
must be done at the radar antenna (or the transceiver unit) via the sub monitor connector.
9) Available on C-type and A/B/W-type radars with Radar Plotter functionality
10)Junction boxes are required for antenna cable length greater than 100 m (only for TR-UP radar
of X-band). Max. cable length is 400 m.
11)Unavailable on IMO-type radars
