8.7 Radar System Tests and Installation Alignment

Once you have installed your Pathfinder Plus Radar System and made all the connections, you need to check your installation and perform the System Tests before using the system for navigation. It is strongly recommended that the System Tests are performed before connecting the radar to other equipment in an integrated system. If you have extended your inter-unit cable, you will also need to check the display timing. If you encounter any problems, refer to Chapter 9.

You may wish to read Chapters 2 to 4, and familiarise yourself with the operation of the system, before performing the initial set up and alignment.

System Check

Before performing the functional test, check the following:

•All securing bolts are fully tightened and mechanical locking arrange- ments as specified are in place.

•Scanner and power connections have been made.

O n the open array scanner, set the power switch (on the pedestal) ON.

•All connecting wires are secured and protected as necessary.

Note: If you are the boat owner and have performed the installation yourself, ask your authorised installation dealer to check the installation before going to sea.

Switch On and Initial Setup

To switch on the display unit, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps. Since the display is a radar master, the magnetron warm-up sequence should start, after which the unit should enter Stand-by mode.

The display switches on in the last used mode. If it is necessary to change the mode, press DISPLAY to show the Display pop-up. Press DISPLAY again, as necessary, to select Radar mode, then press ENTER.

If necessary, adjust the lighting (see Changing the Brightness on page 2-6).

If required, change the default language settings as follows:

1. Press the MENU key to display the setup soft keys.
