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.
