SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The installer of the equipment must read the safety instructions before attempting to install the equipment. WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in death or serious injury. CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, can result in minor or moderate injury.
PAGE 3
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING CAUTION The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance. Ground the equipment to prevent mutual interference. It is recommended that you connect the antenna unit to a disconnecting device (circuit breaker, etc.) to control the power.

1. INSTALLATION AND WIRING NOTICE Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors. 1.1 Mounting Considerations Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points: • Install the antenna unit on the hardtop, radar arch or on a mast on an appropriate platform.
PAGE 9
1. INSTALLATION AND WIRING • In order to reduce electrical interference, avoid routing the power cable near other electrical equipment on-board. Also, avoid running the cable in parallel with other power cables. • It is not recommended to install the antenna unit on the hardtop of a cabin. Vibrations from the antenna unit will pass through the hardtop and into the cabin.
PAGE 10
1. INSTALLATION AND WIRING Consideration for selecting a location for installation (multiple radars) • In case multiple radars are installed on a ship, DO NOT install the DRS6A-NXT/ DRS12A-NXT/DRS25A-NXT within the range of the beam area emitted from other radar(s). Use the illustration below for reference when selecting a suitable location for installation. The Solid State Device (SSD) inside the DRS6A-NXT/DRS12ANXT/DRS25A-NXT will be damaged if it is within the radar beam emission area from other radars.

2. INITIAL SETUP WARNING WARNING The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance. Before turning on the radar, be sure no one is near the antenna. Prevent the potential risk of being struck by the rotating antenna, which can result in serious injury or death.
