1. MOUNTING
1.1 Antenna Unit
1.1.1 Mounting 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.
• No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna 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 the antenna of a direction finder clear of the antenna unit to prevent interfer-
ence 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 a power cable.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the antenna unit. Observe
the compass safe distances shown on page ii to prevent deviation of a magnetic
compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
• 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 ae-
rial 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 an-
tenna unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
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.

1.1.2 How to assemble 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 below:
1. Attach two guide pins to the underside of the antenna radiator.
2. Remove a waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.
3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive adheasive as shown below.
4. Coat fixing holes for the antenna radiator with anticorrosive adheasive.
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 adheasive 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.

1.1.3 How to fasten 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 antenna unit by the radiator. Always hold the unit by its housing.
When using a crane or hoist, use the hoist rings which should be fastened to the bolt
fixing covers 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 bow mark on
its base faces the ship’s bow.
-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 lifting fixtures after hoisting is completed.

5. Fasten the antenna unit to the mounting platform with M12x60 hex. bolts, nuts, flat
washers and seal washers.
6. Use hex. bolt (M6x25), nut (M6) and flat washers (M6) to 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 the ground termi-
nal on the antenna unit. Coat the entire ground system with adhesive (supplied).
7. Confirm that the hoist rings are removed.
The ground point must be within 300 mm from the ground termninal on
the antenna unit.
Coat with marine adheasive.

1.2 Processor Unit
1.2.1 Mounting consideration
The processor unit can be mounted on a desktop or bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, be careful about the following points:
• 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.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables connected.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
(See the outline drawing at the back of this manual.)
• A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the processor unit. Ob-
serve the compass safe distances shown on page ii to prevent deviation of a mag-
netic compass.
1.2.2 How to mount the processor unit
Desktop installation
Fasten the unit with four bolts (M5, supplied) or self-tapping screws (5x20).

1. MOUNTING

Bulkhead installation
Note: The cable entry side should be downward when the processor unit is mounted
on the bulkhead.
1. Mark location for four self-tapping screws if screws will be used.
2. Insert four bolts (M5, supplied) or self-tapping screws (5x20), leaving approx. 5
mm of the bolts (screws) exposed.
3. Hang the processor unit on the four bolts (screws) inserted at step 2.
4. Tighten all bolts (screws).

1.3 Control Unit
The control unit can be installed on a desktop. The control unit should be mounted
within five meters from the processor unit since the length of the cable connecting
them is five meters.
1. Drill four mounting holes of 5 mm diameter referring to the outline drawing at the
back of this manual.
2. Fix the control unit with four self-tapping screws (φ4) from the top of the control
unit. The M4 screws with a sufficient length for the thickness of the tabletop should
be provided locally.
3. Attach four cosmetic caps to the fixing holes on the control unit.
1.4 Monitor Unit
The system is designed with the MU-190V (local supply) in mind. The output video sig-
nal is in portrait format. For configurations with monitors other than the MU-190V, con-
sider the following points at installation:
• For monitors other than the MU-190V, brightness cannot be adjusted from the menu
or the control unit. Adjust brightness at the monitor itself.
• The output video signal from the FR-1908V-BB cannot be flipped upside-down. For
this reason, when installing a landscape monitor select a location that allows the
monitor to be installed after rotating the monitor 90 degrees clockwise.
• When using a landscape monitor which has been rotated, the viewing orientation
angles change. This can cause the colors of echoes, etc to change, depending on
the viewing angle.
