The microwave energy radiated by a radar an tenna is harmful to humans, especially to the eyes. NEVER look directly into an open waveguide or into the path of radiation from an enclosed antenna. Radar and other radi o frequency radiation can upset cardiac pacemakers. If someone with a cardiac pa cemaker suspects abnormal operation, immediately turn[...]

A radar u nit should o nly be in stalled by a qualif ied ma rine tech nician, as poten tially let hal high voltage is present along with heavy rotating parts . There is a transmit interlock that prevents radar transmissions if the scanner is not rotating. However, a high voltage remains for a period of time after the system is turned off. If you ar[...]

4.1 Choose the scanner location The radar's ability to detect targets depends gr eatly on the position of its scanner. The ideal location for the scanner is high above the vessel's keel line where there aren't any obstacles. The higher the install ati on positi on, the longer the radar rangi ng di stance, but the minimum range that t[...]

4.2 Power boat installations Normally, you should install the scanner horizontally, to produce an equal sweep around the power boat: However, when the power boat is traveling at hi gh speed, the bow rises up out of the water and if the elevation angle (trim) of the bow is raised up so that i t equals, or exceeds, 50% of the vertical beam width of t[...]

4.3 Yacht installations Normally you should install the scanner horizontally, to produce an equal sweep around the yacht. However, a yacht heels over to the lee si de, and when the heel angl e exceeds 50% of the vertical beam width of the radar, this can cause two problems: • on the windward side of the yacht, th e beam is projected too high to s[...]

You can find the A-B line for any vessel as follows: • Using a dra wing of the vess el, lay a ru le along the line of the main deck and continue this forwards as a dashed line extending beyond the bo w. • Using a protractor, measure the θ ° value (for yo ur scanne r model) below the d ashed line at the bow and draw in a new line along this an[...]

4.6 How to reduce false echoes and shadow zones False echoes can be produced on the radar di splay if the scanner i s install ed too close to an object on the vessel's superstructure. Thi s object can block the radar beam and reflect it back, generating the false echoes and shado w zones. If you're having problems with false echoes and/or[...]

4.8 Install a scanner on a trestle Depending on your chosen locati on for the scanner, it may be easier to install the scanner if you fabricate a trestle (or radar mast) on which you can mount the scanner. The trestle must be sturdy and sec ure, and capable of supporting the scanner in all weather condit ions. You are recommended to install the bas[...]
