Introduction to the Northstar radar

The Northstar radars are designed as an option available to the Northstar 6000i, 6100i, or 8000i
systems.

A variety of scanner models are available (2 kW, 4 kW, 6 kW, 10 kW and 25 kW) to suit different
customer requirements. Each scanner model has a corresponding radar processor model.

10 kW radar system overview

The radar system is intended for use in a marine environment.

The 10 kW radar system consists of a scanner and an open array, connected to the 10 kW radar
processor by a prefabricated interconnection cable which is available in two lengths (NS003105 or
NS003106).

where A is the radar processor, B is the vessel's power supply (24 V DC ONLY), and C is the Network
Linker (NS004721).

The 10 kW interconnection cable contains separate motor power wires, and there is a separate motor
power fuse in the radar processor.

If the radar processor is connected to a Northstar 6000i or 6100i, it communicates with the display unit
through the 6000i and 6100i radar communications cable (NS003107). An optional extension cable
(NS003108) is available.

If the radar processor is connected to a Northstar 8000i system, it communicates with the 8000i
Network Linker (NS004721) through the 8000i network cable (NS00481X).

DC power for the scanner and radar processor is provided through a power cable that connects the
radar processor to the vessel's DC power supply. The power cable is not supplied.
