1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Antenna Unit
1.1.1 Installation considerations
• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the ra-
dar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit in an elevated position to
permit maximum target visibility.
• A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship must hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending whichever val-
ue is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.
• Install the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to a minimum. A blind sector must not exist in arc of the horizon from right
ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see the figure below). Also, individual
blind sectors of more than 5°, or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°,
must not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors sep-
arated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.
• Do not install the antenna where extreme winds may strike the port and starboard
sides of the antenna.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact
spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that can damage
coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.

• Install the antenna unit away from interfer-
ing high-power energy sources and TX ra-
dio antennas.
• Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit
above the safety rail by at least 500 mm.
• Install two antenna units as shown in the
right figure.
• No funnel, mast or derrick shall be within
the vertical beamwidth of the antenna unit
in the bow direction, especially zero de-
gree ±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. Therefore, deter-
mine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow sectors for their influ-
ence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting.
• Locate the antenna of an EPFS clear of the radar antenna to prevent interference
to the EPFS. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the antenna unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference
to a magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• Ground the unit with the ground wire (sup-
plied).
• An antenna switch is provided on the chassis
to stop the antenna. Make sure the mounting
location provides easy access to the switch.
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other ex-
haust vent can affect the aerial performance
and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. Do not install the antenna unit where
the temperature is more than 55 °C.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the an-
tenna unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
• If it is necessary to lay
down the radiator before
you fasten it to the anten-
na unit, lay it down with
the waveguide up, to pre-
vent damage to the cylin-
der that surrounds the
waveguide.
Note: For more information,
please refer to IMO SN/Circ.271 "Guidelines for the installation of shipborne radar
equipment.
