Raymarine Radar Scanner - Manual (Page 10)

2 Pathfinder Radar Scanners
CAUTION:
Do not use the open array scanner with an SL70 or Autohelm 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 an overview of the scanner installation. It
includes sections on Unpacking and Inspecting the Components,
Selecting the Scanner Site and a description of the Cable Runs.
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 Raytheon 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 taken to ensure that
they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand
what factors could affect the operation of the product.
The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC
performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet
all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible
conditions for EMC performance within the 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:
• Raytheon 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.
