clxx xv Chapter 2: Overview 2.1 Intr oduction T h is handbo ok provides instructions to assist yo u in the inst allation and set up of the following radar scan ners: 5S 48" 4 kW Open Array Scanne.
clxx xvi CAUTION: Do not use an open array scanner w ith an SL70, SL 70 PLUS or SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display unit. Failur e to observe this ma y result in permanent dam age to these disp lay units. The 10 kW open a rray scanne r requi re s 24 V or higher; it will no t operate o n 12 V sys tems.
clxxxvi i • The equipment is supp lied from a separate ba ttery from tha t used for eng ine start. V oltage dro ps below 10 V (20 V for 10 kW open array scanners) in the power supply to our prod ucts , and starter motor transien ts , can cause the equipment to reset.
clxxxv iii 2.3 Selecting the scanner uni t site T his section provides information that affects the possible locatio ns of the scanner , and its position relative to the display unit and to the power supply . T he dim ensions of the each scanne r unit are shown in the following diag rams .
clxxxi x • Radar operat es at the line -of-sight, so a high mount ing position gives bet - ter lo ng rang e pe rf orm anc e. • Surroundin g large o bjects, in the sam e horizont al pla ne , c an inte rfere with the radar signa l and ca use blind a reas or sha dow sectors a nd false targets on the radar screen (see be low).
cxc Centre of rotation Centre of rotation 48" - 1306 mm (51.4 in), 72" - 1928 mm (75.9 in) 100 mm (4 in) 427 mm (16.8 in) 296 mm (11.65 in) 406 mm (16 in) D4572-4 Weight Pedestal: 24 kg (53.0 lb) 48" Open Array: 6 kg (13.2 lb) 72" Open Array: 9.
cxci • Access: T h e scanner unit site should be easily accessible to allow mainte- nance to be carried out safely . • Magnetic compass: Mount the scanner uni t at least 1 m away from a mag- netic co mpass .
cxci i • Moun ting Pl atfo rm : The pl atform must be mechani cally secure and capa- ble of supporting the mass and inertia of the open array scanner . T he com- plete unit wei ghs: 48" scanner - 30 kg (66 .2 lb); 72" scanner - 33.4 kg (73.
cxciii Setting the radiation plane T h e scanner unit should be mounted so that the array rotates parallel to the waterlin e . T he radar beam is approximately 25° wide in the vertical direction, providing good target detection during the vessel’ s pitching and rolling.
cxci v 2.4 Cable Re quiremen ts T his section pro vides details o n selecting the appropriate cables for your syste m. P ermi ssible cable l engths 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 .
cxcv CA UTION: The cab le for con nectin g an open arr ay scan ner to a C- ser ies display cannot be extended. Radome inter-unit cable for use with Pathfinder and C Series displays Open array inter-un.
cxcv i Runnin g the cable to the scanne r CAUTION: Do not pull the cable through bulk he ads using a cor d attach ed to the connector . This could damage the connections.
cxcvii Open array scanner cables for P athfinder displays Inter- unit c able T h e P athfi nder display inter -unit cabl es have a connector p lug at one en d for connecting to the displa y unit or extension cabl e; the other end is prep ared ready to fit to the power and signal connectors (see Secti on 2.
cxcv iii 24 V a nd 32 V S ystem s - 10 kW s canners 10 kW open array scanners can use any combination of inter -unit cable up to a maximum leng th of 35 m. However , these systems u se considerable po wer and installation s should be planned to minimize all cable lengths .
cxci x Not e: If th e requ ired ext ensio n resul ts in unaccep tably large di amete r cable s, use tw o or more sm aller ga uge wir es to achieve the requi red cop per wire cross- secti on. For e xample , using tw o pair s of 2 mm 2 is equivalent to using two single 4.

cci 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 so urce . If you are co nnectin g an existing co mpatible scan ner to a C-Serie s display a pedestal ad aptor cable can be u sed instead of the spl it pedestal c able.
