SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING  
Dangerously high voltages are present within the Radar scanner unit. There are no internal  
connections or adjustments necessary for installation. Only a qualified Radar service  
technician should remove the cover. Technicians must exercise extreme care when  
working inside the unit. Always remove power before removing the cover. Some capacitors  
may take several minutes to discharge, even after switching off the Radar. Before touching  
the magnetron or any high voltage components, ground them with a clip lead.  
MICROWAVE RADIATION HAZARD  
The microwave energy radiated by a Radar antenna is harmful to humans, especially to  
one’s eyes. Never look directly into an open waveguide or into the path of radiation from an  
enclosed antenna. Radar and other radio frequency radiation can upset cardiac pace-  
makers. If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal operation, immediately  
turn off the equipment and move the person away from the antenna. Turn off the Radar  
whenever it is necessary to work on the antenna unit or on other equipment in the beam of  
the Radar.  
WARNING  
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard  
The Radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy, which can be  
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close  
distance while the Radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at  
a close distance.

2. INSTALLATION  
This chapters illustrates the instructions on mechanical and electrical connections of the  
Radar and the necessary software settings to operate it.  
WARNING  
In order for the Radar Antenna to communicate with the Chart Plotter, the software must be  
configured as explained in the Par. 2.7.  
2.0  
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
Prior to the actual installation of the Radar Antenna, several factors must be considered to  
ensure maximum performance (see also Appendix B).  
a. TheAntennamustbelocatedsothatpassengersandcrewarenotexposedtothedirect  
Radar beam.  
b. The Antenna should be mounted on the centerline of your vessel in a location that has  
an unobstructed view forward and the rest of the area around the scanner is as  
unobstructed as possible.  
c. Alocationashighaspracticaltoimprovemaximumrangeispreferable, keepinginmind  
that minimum range objects may be overlooked if mounted too high. Large structure or  
stacks cause blind spots.  
d. Contamination from engine exhaust on the scanner housing reduces Radar perform-  
ance.  
e. Antennas for GPS, radio communication or other equipment should not be in the Radar  
beam(Usenon-metallicextensionpolestomovetheactiveareaofAntennasabovethe  
Radar beam).  
f. In selecting a location, consider the suitability of the mounting surface. It must be flat  
and approximately levelled with the vessel’s water line. The surface must support the  
weight of the scanner and have access to the under side for installation of the four  
mounting bolts.  
g. Consider the cable route from the Antenna to the GPS Chart Plotter’s location. Avoid  
routing the interconnecting cable through areas of possible damage from moving  
objects, machinery, and exposure to chemicals or high temperature.  
NOTE  
1. The recommended mounting surface thickness is 3/8 to 1/2 in. (9 mm to 13 mm).  
If the mounting surface is thin, the mounting surface must be increased to the recommended  
surface thickness.  
2. If it is thicker, longer bolts must be purchased.  
3. The scanner will be damaged if bolts penetrate more than 9/16 in. (15 mm).  
2.1  
PREPARE THE RADAR FOR INSTALLATION  
Unpack the Radar Antenna and check that the contents correspond to the packing list.  
2.1.0 Cable  
Do not remove the cover from the unit. There are no connections or adjustments inside the

unitthatareneededforinstallationoroperation. Thecablemustremainattached. Forease  
of handling, coil the cable and place it on top of the scanner. Then secure it with tape. Invert  
the scanner and make sure the four mounting holes are clear to accept bolts.  
Working at higher elevations may become necessary while installing the scanner unit.  
Observesafetymeasuresandtakesufficientprecautiontoavoidpersonalinjuryordamage  
to the equipment.  
2.2  
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE  
Prepare the mounting surface by making sure it is clean and flat.  
NOTE  
It is a better to check the accuracy of the template by measuring the actual dimension between the  
hole locations. The reproduction process and moisture absorption can affect accuracy. Use the  
template provided to mark the location of four mounting holes. Align the template squarely with  
the centerline of the vessel and with the arrow pointing forward.  
1. Drill four 3/8 in. (10 mm) diameter holes through the mounting surface.  
2. Check that each bolt (with lock washer and flat washer) protrude through the mounting  
surface at least 5/16 in. (8 mm) but less than 9/16 in. (15 mm). The scanner will be  
damaged if bolts protrude more than 9/16 in. (15 mm).  
3. Apply sealant around each mounting hole.  
4. Place the Antenna on the mounting surface. Orient the Antenna with the index mark on  
the housing facing forward (cable gland facing aft).  
5. Install and tighten four M8 x 25U (M8 x 1 in.) mounting bolts.  
6. Uncoil the scanner cable.  
7. Secure the cable near the scanner to support the weight of the cable and prevent strain  
on the watertight cable seal. If the cable is to pass through tubing or a bulkhead, protect  
the unfinished end.  
NOTE  
Do not use the unfinished wires or fabric braid to pull the cable. Attach a fish cord only to the cable  
jacket.  
8. Route the cable to the operator’s location, securing it at appropriate points along the  
way.  
9. Make a drip loop and apply sealant at the entry point of an exterior bulkhead.  
2.3  
ELECTRICAL AND DATA CONNECTIONS  
The cable from Antenna unit provides all power, data and control connections necessary  
for operation.  
1. The large Black and White leads are for power connections and connect directly to a  
10.8 - 31.2 VDC power for MDS-1 and to a 10.8 - 41.6 VDC power for MDS-8/MDS-9/  
MDS-10-4/MDS-10-5.  
2. The five small wires (Black, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Orange) are connected to the  
Radar Junction Box.  
3. The two remaining small wires (Green and Blue) connect to the Radar On/Off switch.  
NOTE  
The "On/Off control switch" controls the main power to the Radar Antenna.

CONNECTION PROCEDURE  
NOTE  
In the following procedure the small wires must be stripped and tinned, and then connected to the  
proper connections in the Radar Junction Box, and to pins on the On/Off control switch. If you are  
uncertain of your skill in completing these tasks, it is strongly advised to obtain the services of a  
qualified technician. It is essential to the operation and reliability of your Radar that these  
procedures are accomplished properly.  
1. Arrange the free end of the Antenna cable so that the wires will reach their intended  
points for connections.  
2. The two large wires must reach a power panel; the five leads in the braided fabric jacket  
mustreachtheRadarJunctionBoxandthetworemainingleadsmustreachthedesired  
location for the On/Off control switch.  
3. If the leads must go in different directions, first route the five leads in the fabric  
braid to the Junction Box. Then extend the shorter leads using the same size or  
larger size wire.  
PleasenotethatthepowersupplylevelattheJunctionBoxshouldbeatleast12Vsincedue  
the cable length the voltage at the Radar could drop below 10V.  
The power supply cables should be of adequate diameter to feed the Radar, the Chart  
Plotter, the Junction Box and eventually any other instrument connected. The larger the  
diameter the better. A too small cable section could cause voltage drop over the cable with  
consequential overheating and danger of fire.

Appendix A. WHAT IS RADAR?  
A.0  
GENERAL  
The word “radar” is an acronym for “RAdio Detecting And Ranging.” In very simple terms,  
this is how it works. A radio transmitter sends a quick microwave pulse, and then a receiver  
listens for that signal’s echo when it is bounced back from something in its path. The  
returning signal is processed by a computer to determine its relative distance, position and  
bearing. This information is graphically displayed on a screen for you to see. Other boats  
or ships, navigational markers, landmasses and such are referred to as targets.  
By knowing how long it takes for a signal to return, the distance to a target can be  
determined. As the radar antenna scans through a 360-degree rotation, it can show where  
the target is relative to your position. By repeated scans, you can see which direction  
another vessel is moving.

Figure A - Radar  
A.0.0 Antenna  
How radar will perform is largely determined by its antenna or scanner. Increasing the size  
of the antenna improves long-range performance and target discrimination, or the ability to  
distinguish two separate targets at a distance. The critical factors are the antenna’s beam  
width and side lobe level. Typically, a radar antenna will radiate a tightly focused beam from  
the front of the array. The longer the antenna array is, the narrower the beam width will be.  
Additionally, it willalsoemit smalleramountsof energytoeachside. Thelowerthesidelobe  
level, the less the effect of a false echo.  
A.0.1 Side Lobe  
Thebeaminwhichthestrongestradiosignalisradiatedfromtheantennaiscalledthemain  
lobe”. Those beams that are radiated in other directions are referred to as the “side lobes”.  
The side lobe level refers to the difference in level (signal strength) between the largest side  
lobe and the main lobe.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RADAR WAVE  
Radio waves travel out from the antenna while bending slightly along the earth’s surface.  
The amount they bend depends on atmospheric conditions. The sight distance of a radar  
generally is about 6% longer than the optical sight distance and is calculated using this  
equation:  
Radar sight distance (NM) = 2.22 ( antenna height (m) + target height (m))

Figure A.1 - Radar wave  
A.1.0 Targets difficult to display on screen  
The intensity of the reflected radio signal from a target depends on the distance, height, and  
size of the target, as well as its material and shape, along with the radar’s transmitter power  
output and antenna size. Targets made of fibreglass, wood, or other low-reflectance  
materialsorthosethathaveasmallincidentanglearedifficulttodisplayonascreen. Sandy  
beaches, and sandy or muddy shallows can be difficult to catch. Because there’s not much  
to reflect a signal back to you, a coastline can actually be closer to your boat than it appears  
on the screen.

Radar waves propagate in a straight line. A high outcropping of land or a large ship will

create a shdow zone behind it and prevent you from seeing targets on the other side. More  
importantly, if amast or somepart of theboat’s superstructureis inthepathof theantenna’s  
sweep, this will also create a shadow zone. No targets will be recognized behind it and it  
could create a dangerous situation.  
A.1.2 False echoes  
Sometimesradarwilldisplaytargetsonscreenthatdonotexistintherealworld. Youshould  
be aware of how and why this happens.  
Ghost echoes  
Sometimes one large object very near your boat will appear as two different targets on  
screen. One is the actual radar echo. The other is a ghost echo generated by a re-reflection  
of the original signal. It comes back to your own boat, bounces back to the target, and then  
is picked up by the antenna on the second bounce. The actual echo appears at the correct  
distanceandbearingonthescreen. Theghostechoappearssomewherebehindyourboat.  
This type of false echo is also generated by re-reflection of waves from bridges, break walls  
or building along shore.

Figure A.1.2 - Ghost Echoes  
Multiple echoes  
If there is a large vertical reflecting surface near your boat, as in the case when you pass  
alongside a large ship, radar signals are repeatedly bounced back and forth between your  
boat and the other object. Two to four images appear on the screen at equal intervals in the  
same bearing. This is called a multiple echo. The image appearing closest to you is the real  
echo. Multiple echoes will disappear as you move away from the reflecting object or its  
bearing changes.

False echoes caused by side lobe  
An antenna’s side lobe emissions are low power, and will not register distant targets.  
However, if there is a strong reflecting target near your boat, it sometimes may appear as  
a circular-arc false echo on the screen.  
WARNING  
When near large targets or land, your boat's mast may sometimes appear as circular-arc shaped  
false echo.

Figure A.1.2b - False Echoes caused by side lobe  
Distant False echoes caused by duct phenomenon  
The duct phenomenon sometimes occurs when meteorological conditions create a  
temperature inversion between layers of air. When this happens, radar waves propagate  
erratically and can reach a location considerably farther away from your boat than the  
radar’s maximum distance range. What appears on screen is a false echo that looks to be  
nearer than the actual target. Since the true echo from the distant target is outside the  
measurement capabilities of the radar, its apparent distance will change when you change  
ranges, and you can conclude that it’s a false echo.  
Radar interference  
If another boat’s radar is operating on the same frequency as yours, it can create  
interference on your display. The interference usually appears as spiral or radial patterns.

MORE INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS  
B.0.0 Shifting from keel line  
By shifting the scanner position from the keel line to the starboard side of the boat, it is  
possible to move shadow zones to the port side. This makes it possible to keep a clear view  
to the bow. The distance to be shifted can calculated using the following equation:  
Ls = 0.4R+D/2 [m] (when R<15m)  
Ls = 0.025R+D/2 [m] (when R>=15m)  
where Ls = distance to be shifted from keel line  
D = diameter of obstacle on keel line  
R = distance from scanner to obstacle

B.0.1 Obtaining sufficient dip angle  
Raise the scanner position so that there is a sufficient dip angle available between the line  
of sight from the scanner to the obstacle and the horizontal line. By raising the dip angle  
above 5°, it is possible to prevent mid- and long-distance shadow zones. The radar cannot  
detect objects below the line of sight.

INSTALLING SCANNER UNIT  
Use a mounting base such as the ones shown in Figure B.1, or you can install the scanner  
directly to a roof or other flat surface. Be certain you keep the water drain tube clear. It’s  
located at the bottom of the scanner unit.  
NOTE  
If the mounting bracket or surface has a curvature of more than 2mm, use spacers with the  
mounting bolts to prevent stress on the scanner housing.  
Do not use an edge that might trap water.
