SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
ow
22 2
2
The operator and installer must read the applicable safety instructions before attempting to
install or operate the equipment.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
canresult in minor or moderate injury.
Warning, Caution Prohibitive Action
CAUTION
Mandatory Action
DANGERDANGER
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.
WARNINGWARNING
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 transmitting
antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100, 50 and 10 W/m 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ii
WARNING
Do not open the equipment
unless totally familiar with
electrical circuits and
service manual.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
equipment.
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
HAZARD
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.
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.
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or damage to the equipment can
result if a different cable is used.
Do not install the monitor unit,
processor unit or control unit where
they may get wet from rain or
water splash, or in a dusty environment.
Water in the units can result in fire,
electrical shock, 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.
CAUTION
Observe the following compass safe
distances to prevent deviation of a
magnetic compass:

About the category sticker
This radar meets the requirements in IEC62388 (Marine navigation and radio communication
equipment and systems-Ship born radar-Performance requirements, method of testing and re-
quired test results.) Check the appropriate box on the sticker which is pre-attached on the radar
processor unit, according to your radars specification. Refer to the table shown below to confirm
your category.

1. MOUNTING
1.1 Antenna Unit
Mounting considerations
• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse, on the radar
mast, or on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit in an elevated po
• A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending which value is
smaller, for all load and trim conditions.
• Mount the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to minimum. No blind sector should exist in arc of the horizon from ahead to
22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see Figure 1 below). Also, individual blind sec-
tors of more than 5°, or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°, should
not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors separated
by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.
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 safety away from interfering high-power energy source and
other transmitting radio antenna.
• Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit (antenna radiator) above the safety rail by
500 mm or more.
• Two antenna units should be mounted as below:
• 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 completely clear view in all di-
rections 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 an EPFS antenna clear of the antenna unit 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
magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent de-
viation of the magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• The antenna base is made of cast aluminium. To prevent electrolytic corrosion of
the antenna base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat ground the
unit with the ground wire (supplied).
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the ae-
rial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator position.The antenna unit
must not be mounted where the temperature is more than 70°C.
• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See antenna
unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
1.1.1 FCR-2827W antenna unit
Assembling the antenna unit
The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and 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. Attach two guide pins (supplied as installation materials) 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 M8x40 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.

Coating the waveguide flange with silicone sealant
1. Do not coat O-ring with silicone sealant; use grease.
2. Clean the surface of the waveguide flange, if necessary. Evenly coat the wave-
guide flange with silicone sealant as shown in the illustration below.

Fastening the antenna unit to the mounting platform
The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. How-
ever, do not lift the 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 lifting
fixture of the antenna housing.
1. Construct a suitable mounting platform referring to the outline drawing at the end
of this manual.
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.
4. Place the antenna unit on the rubber mat, orienting the unit so the antenna switch
on it faces the ship’s bow.

5. Fasten the antenna unit to the mounting platform with M12x60 hex bolts, nuts, flat
washers and seal washers.

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.

6. Using hex bolt (M6x25), nut (M6) and flat washer (M6), establish the ground sys-
tem 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.
