Caution Item on Equipment
Caution on a high voltage inside.
A high voltage, which may risk your life, is used. This high voltage remains
in the circuit after you have powered off switch. To prevent touching the high
voltage circuit inadvertently, the protective cover is provided to the high
voltage circuit and the high voltage caution label is affixed. Ensure to power
off switch for your safety and discharge the electricity remaining in the
capacitor before starting to check. An engineer authorized by our company
should inspect and maintain the circuit.
Be sure to switch off the power in the boat.
If the power switch is inadvertently powered on during work, you will be
electrified. To prevent such accident from occurring, ensure to switch off the
power in the boat and the power of equipment. Furthermore, it is safer to
hang the caution tag with description of [Under Work] near the power switch
of equipment.
Caution on dust
Inhaling dust may cause A respiratory disease. When cleaning the inside of
equipment, be careful not to inhale dust. Wearing a safety mask is
recommended.
Caution on location of equipment
Do not install the equipment where it is excessively damp and suffers from
excessive water drops.
Caution on static electricity
The static electricity may be generated from the carpet on the floor in the
cabin or clothes made of synthetic fiber. The static electricity may destroy
the electronic parts on the circuit board. Handle the circuit board, taking the
suitable anti-static measures.

Caution Item on Handling
Caution on the rotating aerial
The radar antenna may start to rotate without notice. Please stand clear
from the antenna for your safety.
Caution on electromagnetic disturbance
The operating Antenna & Scanner unit radiates high-energy
electromagnetic wave. It may cause harmful effect for human body due to
its continuous irradiation. As International regulation says,
electromagnetic waves less than 100 watt/m2does not have a harmful
effect on human bodies, but some kind of medical devices such as heart
pacemakers are sensitive even under the low energy electromagnetic
wave. Any personnel with such a device should keep away from the
electromagnetic wave generating position at all times.

the provision as specified in IEC 60945)

Do not disassemble or modify. It may lead to trouble, fire, smoking or
electric shock. In case of trouble, contact our dealer or our company.
In case of smoke or fire, switch off the power in the boat and the power of
equipment. It may cause fire, electric shock or damage.
Caution on the remaining high voltage.
A high voltage may remain in the capacitor for several minutes after you
have powered off. Before inspecting inside, wait at least 5 minutes after
powering off or discharging the remaining electricity in an appropriate
manner. Then, start the work.
The information displayed in this unit is not provided directly for your
navigation. For your navigation, be sure to see the specified material.
Use the specified fuse. If un-specified fuse is used, it may cause a fire,
smoke or damage.

MDC-2900 Series Disposal of used cell and this radar
0092629012-07 vii
Disposal of used cell and this radar
Treatment of the used lithium ion cell
To dispose of built-in lithium ion cell (CR-2032) in this radar, insulate each terminal with scotch
tape, etc. and wrap in plastic bag, etc.
The disposal and collection rules may be different depending on each municipal district. Obey the
directions of each district.
Disposal of this radar
This radar shall be disposed according to the municipal regulations or rules.
A high-energy density lithium ion cell is built in this radar.
Improper disposal of a lithium ion cell is discouraged as the cell has a
possibility of short-circuiting. If it gets wet, the generation of heat,
explosion or ignition may occur resulting in an injury or a fire.

Chapter 1 Prior to installation
1.1 Installation precautions
In order to obtain the maximum performance of radar systems, this radar system should be
installed by qualified engineers in charge of installation and maintenance. Installation procedures
include the following:
(1) Unpacking of components;
(2) Inspection of composition units, spare parts, accessories and installation materials;
(3) Checking of supply voltage and current capacity;
(4) Selection of the location for installation;
(5) Installation of the Antenna-Scanner unit;
(6) Installation of the Display unit;
(7) Attachment of accessories;
(8) Planning and implementation of cable laying and connection;
(9) Coordination after installation.
1.2 Unpacking of components
Unpack components and check that all items correspond with the description of the packing list.
When a discrepancy or damage has been found, please contact the transportation/insurance firm,
and follow procedures for searching for loss items and claim of expense.
1.3 Appearance verification of each unit and accessories
Please check the appearance of each unit carefully, confirm that any dent and crack free.
Moreover, please also check the interior of each unit and confirm that there is no electric or
mechanical damage.
The illumination panel (back light) of the LCD module is made of glass. If the unit is dropped,
damage may occur. Since the presence of damage might not be found by checking of the
appearance, please confirm in the display screen after power turning on.
1.4 Selection of location for installation
In order to obtain the maximum performance of the units, it is necessary to install them in
consideration of matters as described below.
1.4.1 Antenna-Scanner unit
(1) Blind sectors shall be kept to a minimum, and shall not be placed in an arc of the horizon from
the right ahead direction to 22.5° abaft the beam and especially shall avoid the right ahead
direction (relative bearing 000°). The installation of the Antenna shall be in such a manner that
the performance of the radar system is not substantially degraded. The Antenna shall be
mounted clear of any structure that may cause signal reflections, including other Antenna and
deck structure or cargo. In addition, the height of the Antenna shall take account of target
detection performance relating to range of first detection and target visibility in sea clutter.
