PRECAUTIONS
Common (MXP-5000/MXD-5000/EX-3187):
RWARNING! NEVER let metal, wire or other ob-
jects touch any internal part or terminals of these units.
This may result in an electric shock.
RWARNING! NEVER touch these units with wet
hands. This may result in an electric shock or damage
these units.
DO NOT place these units near heating equipment
or in direct sunlight or where hot or cold air blows di-
rectly onto them.
DO NOT use or place these units in areas with
temperature below –20˚C (–4˚F) or above +60˚C
(+140˚F).
DO NOT place these units in areas that will block air
passage or put anything around these units. This will
obstruct heat dissipation.
DO NOT use harsh solvent such as benzine or al-
cohol to clean these units, as they will damage these
units’ surfaces.
KEEP these units out of the reach of children.
For MXP-5000 (Main unit):
RWARNING! NEVER apply AC voltage to the DC
input terminals of the Main unit. This may pose a fire
hazard, result in an electric shock or damage the Main
unit.
RWARNING! NEVER apply more than 32 V DC
to the DC input terminals of the Main unit or use re-
verse polarity. This may pose a fire hazard or damage
the Main unit.
RWARNING! NEVER cut the DC power cable
between the DC plug and fuse holder. If an incorrect
connection is made after cutting, the Main unit may be
damaged.
RWARNING! NEVER open the bottom cover of
the Main unit. There are no user adjustment points.
This may result in an electric shock and incorrect reas-
sembly may cause a fire hazard.
DO NOT place the Main unit in excessively dusty en-
vironments.
KEEP the Main unit away from heavy rain, and never
immerse it in the water.
The Main unit meets IPX4 requirements for splash
resistance when the supplied connection cables are
connected, and the connector cap is installed on the
other connector.
However, if it is dropped, splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case
or the waterproof seals.
For MXD-5000 (Display unit):
DO NOT place the Display unit in excessively dusty
environments.
BE CAREFUL! The Display unit meets IPX7 require-
ments for waterproof protection when the rear cover,
and the access cover on the Front panel is closed.
However, if the Display unit has been dropped, water-
proof protection cannot be guaranteed because of pos-
sible damage to the Display unit’s case or the water-
proof seal.
For EX-3187 (Display extension unit):
KEEP the Display extension unit away from heavy
rain, and never immerse it in the water.
The Display extension unit meets IPX4 requirements
for splash resistance when the connection cables are
connected.
However, if it is dropped, splash resistance cannot be
guaranteed because of possible damage to the case
or the waterproof seals.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Mounting the Main unit
First, drill four f5.5–6 mm (0.22–0.24 in) holes to
mount the Main unit, using the unit’s base as a pat-
tern.
Securely mount the Main unit to a flat surface which
supports more than approximately 7 kg (15 lb), using
the six supplied bolts (M5×30 mm).
CAUTION: KEEP the Main unit at least 1 meter
(3.28 ft) away from your vessel’s magnetic
navigation compass.

■ Power source requirement
CAUTION: Before connecting the DC power cable,
check the following important items. Make sure:
• Output voltage of the power source is 12 V/24 V
DC.
• DC power cable polarity is correct.
White : Positive +terminal
Black : Negative _terminal
Green* : Ground
* Main unit side is thinner black.
• Fuse rating of the DC power cable is correct. (The
15 A fuse is pre-installed.)
7.5 A : For a 24 V power source
15 A : For a 12 V power source
■ Ground connection
To prevent electrical shocks and other problems,
ground the Main unit through the [GND] terminal. For
best results, connect a heavy gauge wire or strap to
the nearest grounding point on the boat. The distance
between the [GND] terminal and the ground point
should be as short as possible.

2INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
■ Installing the Display unit
DLocation
Select a place for installation which meets the follow-
ing important conditions:
➥The display unit should be placed near the wheel in
the cabin so that the operator may easily view the
radar screen while facing the bow.
➥To minimize interference, KEEP the unit AT LEAST
THE COMPASS SAFE DISTANCE away from the
compass and the navigation receiver. The distance
is stated on the rear panel serial number label.
➥Select a position where there is no danger of salt or
fresh water spray or immersion.
➥Select a location where it is easy to perform mainte-
nance or adjustments after installation.
➥Select a location which can support the weight of
the display unit.
➥DO NOT select areas subject to extreme heat, cold,
vibrations or direct sunlight.
DMounting
The mounting bracket supplied with the display unit al-
lows “dashboard” or “overhead” mounting.
qHold the mounting bracket up to the selected loca-
tion, and mark pilot holes for the five installation
bolts.
wDrill five holes, according to the diagram, as shown
to the left. (Fig. 1)
eInstall the bracket using the bolts, nuts or washers.
Attach the display unit to the bracket using the knob
bolts, and adjust the display for the desired viewing
angle. (Fig. 2)

To install the display cable though a hole in a wall
where as the display connector cannot pass through
the hole, remove the cable from the EX-3187 or the
Display unit. Then pass it through the hole, as shown
below.
BE CAREFUL! The EX-3187 meets IPX4 require-
ment for splash resistant when the connecting the
connection cables. However, once the unit has been
opened, splash resistance cannot be guaranteed.
