This equipment uses high
voltage electricity which
can shock, burn or cause
death.
Only qualified personnel
should work inside the
enclosures.
DANGER WARNING
Turn off the radar power
switch before servicing
the antenna unit. Post a
warning sign near the
switch indicating it should
not be turned on while the
antenna unit is being
serviced.
Serious injury or death can
result if the radiator starts
rotating and strikes some-
one near the scanner unit.
Wear a safety belt and
hard hat when working on
the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can
result if someone falls from
the scanner mast.

Mounting the Scanner Unit
Before beginning the installation…
Secure an “off limits” area around the scanner
mast to prevent injury due to falling objects.
DO NOT lift the scanner unit by the radiator;
use the lifting fixtures on the unit if it is
necessary to hoist it to the mast.
DO NOT paint the radiator surface.
Siting considerations
The scanner unit is generally installed either on
top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on
an appropriate platform, parallel with ship’s
keel line. It should be placed where there is a
good all-round view with, as far as possible, no
part of the ship’s superstructure or rigging
within the scanners vertical beamwidth
(XN2/3, 25°; XN3A/4A, 20°)
Five holes are required in the scanner unit
platform: Four Ø15 mm for mounting of the
scanner unit and one Ø50 mm for the signal
cable.
If there is a radio direction finder on the vessel,
locate its antenna clear of the scanner unit, to
prevent interference to the direction finder.
Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other
exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial
performance and hot gases tends to distort the
radiator portion. The scanner unit must not be
mounted where it may be subjected to
temperatures in excess of 7C.
Observe the compass safe distances shown in
Table 1 to prevent deviation of the magnetic
compass.
