Intended Use
The scanner units detailed in this handbook form part of navigational radar
systems intended for light marine use. These radar systems are only an aid to
navigation.
WARNING:
The 4D radome scannerconnected to an SL70, SL70 PLUS orSL70RC
PLUS 7" LCD display unit DOES NOT conform to the EU directive 95/
5/EC, therefore such a system cannot be installed on a vessel
within the EU.
Safety Notices
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the
instructionscontained in this manual. Failure todo socanresult inpersonal injury
and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1. High Voltage. The scanner unit contains high voltages. Adjustments require
specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service
technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator
should never remove the scanner unit internal covers or attempt to service the
equipment.
2. Electromagnetic Energy. The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic
energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever personnel are
requiredtocomeclosetothescannertoperform workonthescannerassemblyor
associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel
(above head height).
Do not look directly at the antenna at close range as your eyes are the most
sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the
requirementsofANSI/IEEEC95.1-1992StandardforSafety LevelswithRespectto
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 Hz to 300 GHz and

Preface
This handbook describes the following Raymarine Pathfinder radar scanners:
2D
4D
5S
7S
9S
18" 2 kW Radome Scanner
24" 4 kW Radome Scanner
48" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
72" 4 kW Open Array Scanner
48" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
72" 10 kW Open Array Scanner
11S
These scanner units may be connected to any HSB/hsb2 or C-Series display unit.
In addition, the 2D radome scanner unit may be connected to an SL70, SL70 PLUS
or SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display.
WARNING:
The 4D radome scanner connected to an SL70, SL70PLUS or SL70RC
PLUS 7” LCD display unit DOES NOT conform to the EU Directive
95/5/EC, therefore such a system cannot be installed on a vessel
within the EU.
A 4D radome scanner connected to any other Pathfinder display
unit including, SL70M PLUS, SL70MRC PLUS, SL70C PLUS and
SL70CRC PLUS conforms in full and is not affected.
CAUTION:
The open array scanners must not be used with the SL70, SL70
PLUS, SL70RC PLUS or Autohelm 7" LCD Display Unit. This may
result in damage to the display due to the high power
requirements of the open array scanner.
The handbook contains very important information on the installation and
operation of your new equipment. In order to obtain the best results in operation
and performance, please read this handbook thoroughly.
Raymarine’s Technical Support representatives or your local dealer will be
available to answer any questions you may have.
Display Software Version
For full operation of the Pathfinder scanners, the display unit requires an
appropriate software version. For new displays, the correct software version is
normally already installed in the display unit and is fully compatible with the
Pathfinder scanners.
Early display units may not have the correct software and will therefore require
upgrading.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
iv
Pathfinder Radar Scanners
The software version can be confirmed by switching-on the display and checking
the version number during the magnetron warm-up sequence.
Note: If a scanner unit is not connected the version number is only displayed for 10 sec-
onds.
Where, necessary Software Upgrade Kits are available from your dealer,
distributor or from Raymarine. We recommend that where a repeater display is
fitted, both the repeater and the master display are upgraded.
C-Series Display Compatibility
To achieve full compatibility with a C-Series Display, your Raymarine radar
scanner may require upgrading. Please refer to the C-Series Display Owner’s
Handbook, or contact Technical Support for details.
The open array scanners cannot be powered from a C-Series display unit; they
must be connected to ship’s power using a split pedestal cable or pedestal
adaptor cable. Full details are provided in this handbook.
Warranty
To register your Pathfinder Radar Scanner ownership, please take a few minutes
to fill out the warranty registration card found at the end of this handbook. It is
very important that you complete the owner information and return the card to
the factory in order to receive full warranty benefits.
The radome scanner package includes a barcode label indicating the serial
number of the unit. This label should be stuck to the warranty registration card.
The open array scanner has two barcode labels indicating the serial numbers of
the pedestal and the antenna units. Both labels should be stuck to the warranty
registration card.

CAUTION:
Do not use an open array scanner with an SL70, SL70 PLUS or
SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display unit. Failure to observe this may
result in permanent damage to these display units.
The 10 kW open array scanner requires 24 V or higher; it will not
operate on 12 V systems.
This handbook is divided into three chapters as follows:
Chapter One provides information to help you plan the scanner installation. It
includes sections on Unpacking and Inspecting the Components, Selecting the
Scanner Site, Cable Requirements and Power Requirements.
Chapter Two provides detailed instructions on how to mount and connect each
type of scanner.
Chapter Three provides instructions on how to perform the system checks,
alignment and adjustments. It also provides information on maintenance and
what to do if you have problems.
EMC installation guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry
standards for use in the leisure marine environment.
Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that
performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been takento ensure
that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what
factors could affect the operation of the product.
The guidelinesgiven here describe the conditionsforoptimumEMC performance,
but it isrecognized thatit may not bepossible tomeetall of theseconditionsin all
situations. Toensurethebest possibleconditions for EMC performance withinthe
constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation
possible between different items of electrical equipment.
For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible:
•
Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
•
At least 1 m (3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying
radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB
radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (7 ft).
•
More than 2 m (7ft) fromthe path of a radar beam. A radar beam cannor-
mally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating
element.

•
The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine
start. Voltage drops below 10 V (20 V for 10 kW open array scanners) in the
power supply to our products, and starter motor transients, can cause the
equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the
loss of some information and may change the operating mode.
•
•
Raymarine specified cables are used at all times. Cutting and rejoining these
cables can compromise EMC performance and so must be avoided unless
doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be
removed. Ifthe ferrite needs tobe removedduringinstallationit must be reas-
sembled in the same position. Section 2.1, Radome scanner includes instruc-
tions on fitting a ferrite.
The following illustration shows a typical range of suppression ferrites fitted to
Raymarine equipment.
D3548-4
Connections to Other Equipment
Ifyour Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable
not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be fitted to the
cable close to the Raymarine unit.
1.2 Unpacking and inspecting the components
Unpack your system carefully, to prevent damage to the equipment. It is good
practice to save the carton and packing for future use, in case you need to return
the unit for service. Check that you have all the correct system components. These
depend on your system package, as detailed in the following tables.

1.3 Selecting the scanner unit site
This section provides information that affects the possible locations of the
scanner, and its position relative to the display unit and to the power supply.
The dimensions of the each scanner unit are shown in the following diagrams.
Selecting the best location for the scanner unit requires careful consideration of
the following points, to ensure reliable and trouble free operation:
Note: In order to minimize potential interference to other systems on board ship (EMC), it
is advisable to mount the scanner on a part of the boat that is insulated from the ship’s bat-
tery negative. If you cannot do this, and encounter problems, you can fit insulating bushes
between the scanner and its mounting bracket.
•
Height:The scanner unit should normally be mounted as high as practical
above the waterline, for three reasons:
•
For safety reasons the scanner should be out of range of personnel, pref-
erably above head height. This avoids mechanical danger and electro-
magnetic contact, particularly with the eyes.
•
•
Radar operates atthe line-of-sight, so ahighmounting position gives bet-
ter long range performance.
Surrounding large objects, in the same horizontal plane, can interfere
with the radar signal and cause blind areas or shadow sectors and false
targets on the radar screen (see below).
However, do not mount the scanner so high that it is affected by the pitching
and rolling of the vessel. In addition, you may need to lower the scanner to
avoid creating a shadow sector underneath the scanner’s beam.

Access: The scanner unit site should be easily accessible to allow mainte-
nance to be carried out safely.
Magnetic compass:Mount the scanner unit at least 1 m away from a mag-
netic compass.
Cable run: The maximum length of cable between the display unit and the
scanner unit should not normally exceed 20 m (60 ft) for radome scanners, or
15 m (45 ft) for open array scanners. If you need to use a longer cable power
cable lengths must be considered, refer to Section 1.4 Cable Runs to deter-
mine appropriate lengths.
•
Shadow sectors and false echoes: Mount the scanner away from large
structures or equipment, such as the fly bridge, large engine stacks, search-
lights, horns, or masts. It is particularly important to avoid shadow sectors
near the bow. Raising or even lowering the scanner may help to reduce these
effects.
In shadow areas beyond the obstruction there will be a reduction of the
beam intensity, although not necessarily a complete cut-off; there will be a
blind sector if the subtended angle is more than a few degrees.
In some shadow sectors the beam intensity may not be sufficient to obtain an
echo from a very small object, even at close range, despite the fact that a
large vessel can be detected at a much greater range. For this reason the
angular width and relative bearing ofany shadow sector must be determined
at installation. Sometimes shadowing can be seen by increasing the radar
gain until noise is present. Dark sectors indicate possible shadowed areas.
This information should be posted near the display unit and operators must
be alert for targets in these blind sectors.
It should also be noted that wet sails create shadow areas and thus sail boat
operators should be aware that radar performance may reduce in rain.
If you mount the scanner on a mast, echoes from the mast may appear on the
radar display. These can be minimized by placing absorbing material, such as
a block of wood, between the scanner and mast.

•
Platform rigidity/stability: The scanner platform should not twist (caus-
ing bearing errors) or be subject to excessive vibration.
Heat/fumes: Mount the scanner away from the top of exhaust stacks, since
the scanner and cables can be damaged by excessive heat and the corrosive
effects of exhaust gases.
For open array scanners you should also consider the following points:

•
Mounting Platform: The platform must be mechanically secure and capa-
ble of supporting the mass and inertia of the open array scanner. The com-
plete unit weighs: 48" scanner - 30 kg (66.2 lb); 72" scanner - 33.4 kg
(73.7 lb).
•
•
The site must be clear of ropes and moving rigging.
Sufficient clearance must beallowed to fully open the open array pedestal for
maintenance.
Mounting surface: sailboats
The scanner unit can be installed on a mast platform, an arch, or a bridge
structure. Make sure that the platform surface is flat and the scanner unit drain
hole (radome scanners) is not obstructed. Raymarine recommends that radome
scanner units are best suited for sailboat operation as open array systems are
more difficult to protect from ropes and sails.
For sailboat installations, Raymarine offers a universal mast mount kit for each
radome scanner type. This optional mount is used to fit a radome scanner to a flat
surface on a mast with a minimum diameter of 60 mm (2½ in). When using the
mast mount kit, appropriate hardware should be used for the style and structure
ofthe mastaboard the vessel. Typically, the scannerwillbemountednearthe first
set of mast spreaders. If there is any doubt concerning the appropriate type of
hardware, consult your boat dealer or representative for their recommendations.
Dependingonthetypeofsailboat, aradarscanner guardshouldbeinstalled ifthe
sails could touch the scanner or platform. Without a proper radar guard the
mounting platform and the radar scanner could be severely damaged.
Mounting surface: power boats
On many small vessels the scanner unit can be installed on a mast platform, an
arch, or a bridge structure, but take care to follow the scanner site guidelines,
particularlyregardingheight. Ifnecessary, constructaradarmountingplatformto
obtain a sufficiently high mounting position. Make sure that the platform surface
is flat and the scanner unit drain hole (radome scanners) is not obstructed. Ensure
the platform is strongenoughtosupport the maximum shock loads likely tooccur.

Setting the radiation plane
The scanner unit should be mounted so that the array rotates parallel to the
waterline. The radar beam is approximately 25° wide in the vertical direction,
providing good target detection during the vessel’s pitching and rolling.

1.4 Cable Requirements
This section provides details on selecting the appropriate cables for your system.
Permissible cable lengths depend on the scanner type and the boat’s power
system. Information on inter-unit and power cables is provided for both radome
and open array scanners in the following sections.
You need to consider the following before installing the cables:
•
You need to connect the scanner to the display unit and to power. The cable
requireddependsonthedisplayunitandthescannertypeasdescribedbelow.
•
All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical dam-
age and exposure to heat - avoid running cables through bilges or doorways,
or close to moving or hot objects.
•
•
Acute bends must be avoided.
Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a water-
tight gland or swan neck tube should be used.
•
Avoid cutting and re-joining cables (if necessary, refer to the notes below).
Scanner Cables
The cable used to connect your scanner to the display unit and power depends on
the type of scanner and display as follows:
•
A radome scanner connected to a Pathfinder or C-Series display requires an
inter-unit cable. The scanner receives power via the display unit, the power
cable is supplied with the display unit but cable details are provided in this
section.
•
An open arrayscannerconnectedto aPathfinderdisplayrequiresan inter-unit
cable. The scanner receives power via the display unit, the power cable is sup-
plied with the display unit but cable details are provided in this section.
•
•
An open array scanner cannot be powered from a C-Series Display; it requires
a split pedestal cable which combines the inter-unit and power cores.
If you are connecting a C-series display to an existing open array scanner unit
withastandardinter-unitcable,youcanusethe adapatorcable instead ofthe
splitpedestalcable; connect theadaptor betweentheinter-unit cable and the
display.
These cables are illustrated in the following diagram. Cable lengths and part
numbers are listed in Unpacking and inspecting the components on page 3.
CAUTION:
The cable for connecting an open array scanner to a C-series
display cannot be extended.

Running the cable to the scanner
CAUTION:
Do not pull the cable through bulkheads using a cord attached to
the connector. This could damage the connections.
The cable entrance is at the rear of the scanner unit. If the unit is mounted on a
hollow mast the cable may be run inside the mast and then fed through the
radar’s cable entrance. Make sure that the cable does not chafe where it enters
and exits the mast.
Note: Route the cable from the display up to the scanner, since this will require
the smallest clearance hole.
Rejoining cables
You should avoid cutting and re-joining cables. If this is necessary you must:
•
Fit a ferrite on each side of the join. The specific ferrite to use depends on the
cable type - contact Raymarine for details.
•
Take care not to damage any of the wires. Make sure that all the wires and, in
particular, the screen are reconnected correctly.
Ifyou are mounting the scanner on the mast of a sailboat, and will need tounstep
the mast, you should install a suitable junction box inside the boat.
On a radome scanner, the junction box should provide an 11- or 13-way terminal
strip, depending on the number of power cores in your cable with a 10 A rating.
Also, you should keep the length of the un-screened coaxial cores to less than 30
mm to maintain EMC conformance.
Onanopenarray scanner,thejunctionboxshouldprovidea13-wayterminalstrip
with a 20 A rating for power cores. It is essential that all 4 power cores are
connected and that the connection is of very low resistance as considerable
power passes through this connection. Also, you should keep the lengthofthe un-
screened coaxial cores to less than 30 mm to maintain EMC conformance.
CAUTION:
The display connector on the scanner cable is a moulded plug that
cannot be replaced. DO NOT remove this moulded plug.
The minimum bends permitted are:
Minimum bend, light cable
Minimum bend, heavy cable
60 mm (~2.5 in) radius
82 mm (~3.75 in) radius

Pathfinder Radar Scanners
Radome scanner cables
Inter-unit cable
The radome inter-unitcableisfitted withan8-wayplugandpower cores (covered
by a clear protective sleeve) for connecting to the scanner.
The length of the supplied cable should be sufficient to complete the cable run
required on most small vessels. For longer runs, additional or replacement cables
are available, which have 4 power cores to minimize voltage drops over the
longer cable run: these optional cables include 5 m and 10 m extension cables,
and a 25 m replacement cable.
The maximum inter-unit cable length is limited by the minimum supply voltage,
the scanner type (18" or 24" radome), and the cable type (2 or 4 power cores): if
amix oflight and heavy cables is used, only 2 power cores are connected through.
For vessels with 12 V power systems, the recommended cable(s) for different run
lengths are given in the following table, which assumes a minimum supply
voltage of 10.7 V (the lowest voltage likely to be reached by a 12 V battery in
normal marine use). Do not use cable combinations that are not
included in the table.
Notes: (1) For vessels with 24 V power systems, any combination of inter-unit cables
can be used.
(2) This table applies to systems using the standard 1.5 m power cable. If you
extendthe powercable you mayneed to select different inter-unit cable(s),
as discussed in the following section Power Cable.

Power cable
The radome radar systems are intended for use on ships’ DC power systems
operating in the range 10.7 to 32 V DC (that is, 12 V and 24 V systems; not 32 V
systems).
A 1.5 m (5 ft) power cable is supplied (with the display unit) for connecting the
ship’sDC power to the radar scanner via the display unit. Refer tothe Display Unit
Owner’s Handbook for details on connecting this cable. This section provides
details for extending the length of the power cable.
Ifalonger powercable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to
the display unit. Thenuseasuitable connectorblock toconnectthe free end tothe
2
extension cable. The supplied power cable has a cross-section of 2.0 mm .
Note: For vessels with 24 V power systems, the power cable may be extended by up to
2
20 m using a wire gauge of 1.5 mm (AWG 16) or greater, irrespective of the inter-unit ca-
ble length.
For vessels with 12 V power systems, longer power cable runs may require larger
wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable. The type of scanner, type
of inter-unit cable and cable length also affect the wire gauge required for the
extension power cable.
To determine the correct supply cable size:
1. Estimate the length of cable between the ship’s main power source and the
connector block.
2. Use the followings tables (one for each scanner size) to determine, for each
inter-unit cable combination, the wire size required for that length.
For example, you might have a 24" scanner, with 20 m between the scanner and
display unit, that you plan to connect by extending the supplied 15 m heavy inter-
unit cable with a 5 m extension cable. In addition, your 12 V power supply might
be 10 m from the display unit, requiring an extension of 8.5 m. To determine the
wire gauge required for the power cable extension, refer to the table for the 24"
scanner, go to the row labelled 15 m Heavy + 5 m ext, and read across until you
come to a maximum cable length greater than 8.5 m. This is the 10 m entry, in the
2
column for 4.0 mm wire gauge.

Open array scanner cables for Pathfinder displays
Inter-unit cable
The Pathfinder display inter-unit cables have a connector plug at one end for
connecting to the display unit or extension cable; the other end is prepared ready
to fit to the power and signal connectors (see Section 2.2).
Heavy duty cables are available in 15 m and 25 m lengths which should be
sufficient to complete the cable run required on most small vessels. For longer
runs, 5 m and 10 m extension cables are available, both have 4 power cores to
minimize voltage drops over the cable run and incorporate in-line moulded plugs.
The maximum inter-unit cable length is limited by the minimum supply voltage
and the scanner type.
CAUTION:
10 kW scanner systems cannot be used directly with 12 V systems;
they require a 12 V to 24 V converter rated to 180 W. Contact your
authorized Raymarine dealer or distributor for details.
12 V Systems (4 kW scanners only)
For vessels with 12 V power systems, the recommended cable(s) for different run
lengths are given in the following table, which assumes a minimum supply
voltage of 10.7 V (the lowest voltage likely to be reached by a 12 V battery in
normal marine use). Do not use cable combinations that are not
included in the table.

Open array scanners draw considerable power from the vessels power source,
especially in high wind speeds. It is essential for reliable operation that the unit is
supplied with a low resistance power cable system, especially when operated
from a 12 V power system.
12 V systems (4 kW scanners only)
Extensionstothesuppliedpowercablemustbekepttoaminimumandthepower

CAUTION:
The display unit does not include a fuse for scanner power, so an
in-line fuse or circuit breaker MUST be included in the power
cable.
All power connections must be of high quality to minimize their resistance and to
remove the risk of accidental shorts. Recommended maximum power cable
extensions are given in the table below. These figures relate to the total cable
extension, from the end of the supplied 1.5 m power cable to the system battery
terminals. Do not exceed these lengths as unreliable operation may result.

Open array scanner cables for C-series displays
A split pedestal cable is required to connect a compatible open array scanner to
the display unit and to the power source.
If you are connecting an existing compatible scanner to a C-Series display a
pedestal adaptor cable can be used instead of the split pedestal cable.
CAUTION:
Do not extend the split pedestal or pedestal adaptor cable.
Split pedestal cable
The split pedestal cable combines the inter-unit and power cores, divided by a
Y junction. One core has a connector plug for connecting to the display unit, the
other core is for connecting to power. The scanner end is prepared ready to fit to
the power and signal connectors (see Section 2.2).
Two cable lengths are available:
•
•
25m cableprovides 25m from scanner to Y junction.
15m cableprovides 15m from scanner to Y junction.
These lengths should be sufficient to complete the cable run required on most
small vessels.
Pedestal adaptor cable
The pedestal adaptor cable combines the inter-unit and power cores, divided by a
Y junction. One core has a connector plug for connecting to the display unit, the
other core is for connecting to power. The scanner end has a connector plug for
fitting to an existing inter-unit cable.
1.5 Power Requirements
Note: Open array scanners connected to a Pathfinder display and all radome scanners re-
ceive power from the display unit via the inter-unit cable. The display power cable is sup-
plied with the display unit and details for connecting power are provided in your display
unitOwner’sHandbook. However,youshouldbeawareoftheinformationprovidedinthis
section.
The DC system should be either:
•
Negative grounded, with the negative battery terminal connected to the
ship’s ground.
•
Floating, with neither battery terminal connected to the ship’s ground.
CAUTION:
This radar is not intended for use on “positive” ground vessels.
The power cable Earth screen connections must be connected to
the ship’s ground.

Pathfinder Radar Scanners
Grounding the radar system
It is important that an effective RF ground is connected to the radar system.
You must ground the radar by connecting the drain wire (screen) of the power
cable to the nearest ground point of the ship’s RF ground system. Refer to your
display unit Owner’s Handbook for details.
If you need to extend the wire, the extension wire should be an 8 mm braid or
AWG 10 (6.0 mm2) multi-stranded cable.
If your vessel does not have an RF system, connect the drain wire to the negative
battery terminal.
Note: Use only this ground connection.
Power Connections
The power connection to the radar should be made at either the output of the
battery isolator switch, or at a DC power distribution panel. Raymarine
recommends that power is fed directly to the radar via its own dedicated cable
system and MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to
the power connection. Refer to the table below for isolator switch, circuit breaker
or fuse value ratings. Check all terminal connections are clean.
CAUTION:
If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power
circuit, e.g. fitted to the DC distribution panel, you MUST fit an in-
line breaker or fuse to the positive (red) lead of the power cable.

Chapter 3: Post Installation Checks and
Maintenance
Once you have installed your radar scanner and display unit, and made all the
connections, you need to check your installation. You can then set up the radar
system, alignthescannerandcheckthe displaytiming. Inaddition, fora72"open
array scanner you need to set the antenna size to ensure the scanner rests in the
correct position when rotation stops.
Set up, alignment and timing checks are performed from the radar systemdisplay
unit. The procedures are outlined below; full details are provided in the display
unit Owner’s Handbook. You should read the Pathfinder radar display unit
Owner’s Handbook and familiarize yourself with the operation of the radar.
EMC Conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that it is not
affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
3.1 System Checks and Alignment
System check
Before performing the functional test, check the following:
•
Allsecuringboltsarefullytightenedandmechanicallockingarrangementsas
specified are in place

Checking transmission
WARNING:
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that
thescanner has been installed according to the recommendations
given in Chapter 1, and that all personnel are clear of the scanner,
before switching to transmit mode.
RunthroughtheradaroperationsdescribedinthedisplayunitOwner’sHandbook
and check that all the expected data is displayed.
Bearing alignment
When the system is correctly installed, you must check the bearing alignment to
ensure that targets appear at their correct bearing relative to the ship’s bow, and
adjust the alignment if necessary.
Display timing adjustment
The display timing can be affected by the length of the cable used to connect the
scanner to the display unit. This in turn affects the short range accuracy shown on
the display.
It is advisable to check the display timing before using the system for navigation.
72" open array position alignment
To ensure the 72" open array scanner rests in correct position when rotation
stops, you need to adjust the radar set up as follows:
1. With the display switched on in Radar mode, press MENU then press the
RADAR SET UP soft key.
2. Use the cursor to select the ANTENNA SIZE option, then press the 6 ft soft key.
Press ENTER twice to return to the default display.
If the Radar Set Up menu option ANTENNA SIZE is not available, then you
have an older version of display software. The 72" open array scanner will
operate correctly with this display. However, for details on adjusting the open
array stopping-position, please contact your authorized Raymarine dealer or
distributor.

3.2 Maintenance
Warnings
The display unit and scanner unit contain high voltage.
Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools
only available to qualified service technicians - there are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments and the operator should not
attempt to service the equipment. The operator should not
remove the rear cover of the display or any internal covers in the
scanner.
Always turn the radar system off before carrying out any routine
maintenance on the scanner or nearby equipment. Switch off the
display unit before removing the power cord.
Routine Checks
The radar scanners are sealed units. Maintenance procedures are therefore
limited to the following periodical checks:
•
•
•
Examine the cables for signs of damage, such as chafing, cuts or nicks.
Check that the cable connectors are firmly attached.
Make sure the scanner and pedestal are still attached securely to the mount-
ing.
•
Once a year, remove, grease and re-attach the mounting bolts securing the
scanner and pedestal.
Servicing and Safety
•
Raymarine equipment should be serviced only by authorized Raymarine ser-
vice technicians. They will ensure that service procedures and replacement
parts used will not affect performance. There are no user serviceable parts in
any Raymarine product.
•
•
Some products generate high voltages, so never handle the cables/connec-
tors when power is being supplied to the equipment.
When powered, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one
another, with a consequent adverse effect on operation. In order to minimize
these effects and enable you to get the best possible performance from your
Raymarine equipment, guidelines are given in the installation instructions, to
enable you to ensure minimum interaction between different items of equip-
ment, i.e. ensure optimum Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).

Always report any EMC-related problem to your nearest Raymarine dealer.
We use such information to improve our quality standards.
In some installations, it may not be possible to prevent the equipment from
being affected by external influences. In general this will not damage the
equipment but it can lead to spurious resetting action, or momentarily may
result in faulty operation.
