Warning, Caution Mandatory Action
Prohibitive Action
Read these safety instructions before you operate the equipment.
Do not open the equipment unless
totally familiar with electrical
circuits and service manual.
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 mast.
Construct a suitable service platform from
which to install the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls
from the radar mast.
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.
Ground the equipment to prevent
electrical shock and mutual
interference. Observe the following compass safe distances
to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass.
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 W/m
2
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.

1. HOW TO INSTALL THE SYSTEM
1.1 Display Unit
Select a location for the display unit by following the information shown below.
• The unit is waterproof, but FURUNO recommends that you install the display unit in
a cabinet.
• Keep the unit away from direct sunlight.
• The temperature and humidity must meet the requirements shown in the equipment
specifications.
• Set the unit away from the exhaust pipes and vents.
• The installation location must have enough cool air.
• Install the unit where shock and vibration meet the requirements shown in the
equipment specifications. If there is heavy vibration, vertically install the display unit
on the hanger.
• Keep the unit away from equipment that creates an electromagnetic field, for exam-
ple, motors and generators.
• For maintenance and checking, leave enough space at the sides and rear of the
unit, referring to the outline drawing and provide some additional length in cables.
• Follow the recommended compass safe distances shown on page i to prevent the
interference to a magnetic compass.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or
contact spray to plastic parts or equipment
coating.
These items contain products that can
damage plastic parts and equipment coating.

1.1.1 How to install the display unit
How to install the display unit on a desktop or overhead
Follow the procedure shown below to install the display unit on a desktop or overhead.
1. Unfasten the knob bolts and remove the display unit from the hanger.
2. Fasten the hanger with four self-tapping screws.
3. Screw the knob bolts into the display unit, leaving them slightly loose.
4. Connect all necessary cabling.
5. Set the display unit in the hanger, then fasten the knob bolts.
Note: For overhead installation, make sure the location is strong enough to hold the
unit. If necessary, fasten the hanger with the bolts, nuts and washers (local supply).

How to install the display unit in a console
Note 1: Requires Flush Mount Kit OP03-228 (Option).
Note 2: The unit must be installed in a flat area of the console. Ensure there is ample
room behind the unit once installed to allow access for maintenance.
Follow the procedure shown below to install the display unit in a console.
1. Prepare a hole in the installation location referring to the outline drawing at the
back of this manual.
2. Unfasten the knob bolts and remove the display unit from the hanger.
3. Fit the backing sponges, referring to the diagram below.
Note 1: Ensure the backing sponges are used correctly. 1 - Horizontal, 2 - Verti-
cal.
Note 2: Take care to place the backing sponges around screw holes and ensure
there are no gaps between the sponges at their joining points.
4. Connect all necessary cables to the unit, making sure to leave enough slack for
maintenance and service.
5. Insert the unit into the console, making sure that all cabling attached to the unit is
not damaged. Ensure the unit is secure before proceeding to the next step.

1.2 Antenna Unit Installation
How to select the location for the antenna unit
• The antenna unit is installed either on top of the wheelhouse or a platform on the
radar mast. Install the antenna unit where there is a good complete view. Any ob-
struction causes blind sectors. For example, a mast with a diameter smaller than
the horizontal beamwidth of the radiator causes only a small blind sector. A horizon-
tal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane creates a large obstruction.
Install the antenna unit above, or below a horizontal spreader or crosstrees.
• You cannot put the antenna unit where there is a completely clear view in all direc-
tions. Make sure you check for blind sectors on the radar screen after you have in-
stalled the radar.
• To reduce the electrical interference, do not run the signal cable near other electri-
cal equipment. Also do not run the cable in parallel to power cables.
• A magnetic compass gives error if the antenna unit is installed near the magnetic
compass. See SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the compass safe distances to prevent
the interference to a magnetic compass.
• Do not apply paint to the radiator aperture. The radar wave cannot be transmitted if
there is paint on the radiator.
• If this radar is installed on a large vessel, follow the points shown below:
• The length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and the display unit is
max. 30 m.
• The output from a funnel or exhaust vent decreases aerial performance and hot
gases can damage the radiator. The antenna unit must not be installed where the
temperature is more than 55°C.
• The antenna unit can be installed on the bridge, a common mast, or the radar mast.
(a) On bridge
(c) Radar mast
(b) Common mast
