2.2 Open array scanner

Installation of the open array scanner should only be undertaken by a competent installer. If you have any difficulty with the installation, please contact your local Raytheon Marine dealer or distributor.

The open array scanner is supplied in two sections; the pedestal unit and the antenna. The pedestal unit is secured from below the mounting platform. The open array is then secured to the pedestal. Full details for mounting the scanner are given below.

CAUTION:

The pedestal unit has a cap fitted over the open array mounting shaft to protect the protuding co-axial pin. This cap must be left in place until the open array is fitted.

The pedestal base is fitted with a gasket: DO NOT grease this gasket.

WARNING:

The open array scanner weighs: 48" scanner - 30 kg (66.2 lb); 72" scanner - 33.4 kg (73.7 lb). For safety reasons it is recommended that the unit is not lifted by one person.

The unit is fitted with lifting eyes (maximum SWL 40 kg) to facilitate the use of standard lifting accessories, e.g. rope, chain or strop. The safe working load (SWL) of the lifting accessories should be 150 kg. Suitable lifting equipment could include a crane, hoist, or an appropriate rigid, overhead structure. Alternatively, the unit is suitable for a two person lift. Care should be taken to ensure that each person is standing on a stable surface, and that the pedestal is held carefully to ensure it cannot slip.

The T-bar beneath the open array antenna can be used to aid lifting.

You should never lift the scanner by holding onto the open array antenna.
