Pathfinder Radar Scanners

Connecting the open array scanner cable

CAUTION:
Before wiring the scanner unit check that it is securely mounted to
the platform, then make sure that the inter-unit cable is not
connected and power is not applied to the display unit. The
scanner switch must be in the OFF position.

Note:

Connection of the Pathfinder inter-unit cable and the C-series split pedestal cable is

identical.

1. Loosen the four self-retaining bolts securing the pedestal lid to the base. Pull-

up and turn the bolts anti-clockwise to lock them in the upright position.
Remove the lifting eyes.

Note:

It is important to remove lifting eyes to avoid corrosion. Retain the lifting eyes: they

will be required if the scanner is removed from its platform.

2. Open the pedestal lid. Ensure the securing stay has automatically locked into

position.

3. Referring to the following illustration, remove the cable gland nut, washer

and grommet from the watertight gland, where the cable will enter the base.

4. Slide the cable through the gland nut, washer and grommet, then into the

base. Carefully remove the heat shrink shroud, ensuring that you do not dam-
age the cable.
