Safety precautions
Safety precautions described in this section are applicable to the radar system. They are
general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure, and they might
therefore not appear elsewhere in this manual. They are recommended precautions that
personnel must understand and apply during operation and maintenance of the system.
You are obliged to read these operating instructions prior to operation, and to adhere to the
operating instructions in order to prevent possible danger. Prevention of danger includes
that operator personnel are trained and authorized for safe operation of the equipment. We
assume no liability for damage due to improper operation which could have been
prevented.
The system must only be operated by persons who have passed the relevant mandatory
training on the respective systems and applications. Only reading these operating
instructions cannot replace such training. Persons authorized to operate, maintain and
troubleshoot the system are instructed and trained by Simrad. Persons operating or servicing
this radar system must be familiar with the general safety regulations and specific safety
systems, and they must have passed all required training. They must have read the relevant
operating instructions and manuals before starting to work.
Have these operating instructions always at hand on all relevant locations, and ensure that
copies are available to all operators. Operating personnel must at all times follow all safety
regulations.
During normal operation, the unit can be quickly disconnected from the main power line by
turning OFF the relevant circuit breaker located on the electric switchboard.
Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the unit when the voltage supply is
turned ON. Always remove power and discharge to ground a circuit before touching it.
Under no circumstances should any person initiate servicing or repairing the unit except in
the presence of a qualified person.
Ensure unobstructed access to all operator panels, controls, and relevant switchgear cabinets
in order to enable instant response to alarms.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide from a radar transmitter for
maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should be terminated with a matched load. If
this is not possible, care should be taken. Do not stand in front of an open-ended waveguide
from which power is being radiated.
ÚNote: Main power is always present on the terminal board unless the main break from
the power distribution panel of the vessel is turned off.
Warning: Never look down a waveguide from which power is being
radiated!
Warnings
High voltage
Radar equipment includes high voltage that can cause injury or loss of life. Danger exists only
when the units are opened, exposing internal circuits, as when servicing the equipment.
This radar has been carefully designed to protect personnel from possible injury from high
voltages. Although every effort has been made to eliminate danger to personnel, no
responsibility is accepted for any injury or loss of life suffered in connection with this
equipment.
Radio frequency radiation
Harmful effects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any part of the
human body to high power radio frequency radiation.
However, the system is designed to always disable the microwave radiation when the
antenna is not rotating.

Software setup
Overview
Prior to use, the system requires a number of settings be configured in order for the system
to perform as expected.
Most settings are intended to be configured by the technician commissioning the system, by
the operator at first use, or by a technician after servicing or replacement of system parts.
Other settings are generic, and the system can be used with default values.
The installation settings are only available in service mode. Refer to "The settings dialog" on page
16 and "Access control" on page 16.
ÚNote: Before starting the software setup, the system must be wired according to the
wiring instructions. All system units must be powered on. The O5000 Trackball must be
connected. All sensors must be available. At least one transceiver must be assigned to
one control station in the priority table. Refer to "Priorities table" on page 29
All the areas listed must be addressed during commissioning, and they should be stepped
through in the listed sequence.
When the setup is completed, the R5000 processor must be restarted. Refer to "Reboot device"
on page 19.
The settings are split between:
•control station settings: need to be done for each of the control stations in a multi-station
installation
•shared settings: can be done from any control station in the system
NMEA 0183 equivalence with IEC 61162-1/2
This device uses the term NMEA 0183 in menus and dialogs. NMEA 0183 is equivalent with
the IEC standard IEC 61162-1/2.
Control station settings
Control station settings are local settings for the control station. They need to be repeated for

Introduction to Lightweight Ethernet
Lightweight Ethernet (LWE), defined by IEC61162-450, is a protocol defined to enable an
Ethernet connection between multiple talkers and multiple listeners, using the messages
defined in IEC61162-1/2. LWE is an IP-based implementation, making use of a multicast
address and corresponding User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port for transmission. LWE is
essentially a means to share data between units over Ethernet.
There are some restrictions on the connection of LWE networks:
•The different components are connected through an Ethernet switch, and connection to
a router or repeater hubs are not allowed
•No multicast filtering is configured
Equipment on the network that performs system functions can transmit and receive
information. Each System Function (SF) is identified by a System Function Identifier (SFI)
which is unique on any boat network.
ÚNote: If no SFI is entered (remaining with the default 9999 value), the device will not be
visible on the LWE network, and it will not share any data.
Every device that is a part of the LWE network shall be assigned an IP address (10.0.0.1 to
10.255.255.253 or 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254). This IP address is to be chosen as a unique
address for every device on the boat network.
The settings dialog
The system setup is done from the settings dialog.
Access control
Some of the parameters in the settings dialogs are intended for system setup and service
engineers. These parameters are protected, and they are only available by entering the
password QWERTY.
16 Software setup | R5000 Commissioning manual

When the password is entered, service mode is enabled and all settings are accessible.
Warning: When in service mode, there is no timeout for the settings
dialogs, and the acoustic alert is disabled. Do not use the radar in service
mode during normal navigation.
Service mode is indicated on the radar PPI.
Service mode remains active until it is manually closed, or until the R5000 processor is
restarted or switched to standby mode.
Configuring the O2000
The O2000 controller has to be assigned to a radar control station before it can be used.
All LEDs on the O2000 controller are red when the unit is in unconfigured or in configuration
mode.
You assign and unassign an O2000 controller from the O2000 configuration dialog.
To activate the O2000 configuration dialog:
•Select the remote keyboard option from the settings dialog (A), then press and hold the
display key (B) on the O2000 controller until the O2000 configuration dialog (C) is
displayed
