Installation Guidelines 3 ! Warning: A radar unit should only be installed by a qualified marine technician, as improper installation poses risks to the installer, the public, and to the safety of the vessel. • • • • ! Warning: Before commencing any installation or maintenance on the Halo radar make sure the safety switch on the rear of the pedestal is set to OFF There is a transmit interlock that prevents radar transmissions if the scanner is not rotating.
Compass safe distance ! Warning: Do not install the scanner inside of the recommended compass safe distances of any navigation instruments such as the magnetic compass and the chronometer. The compass safe distances are as follows: Minimum distance to install near the ships compass is 0.7 m (3.3 ft). Compass N W E S STD 0.7 m (2.3 ft) Steer 0.5 m(1.6 ft) Multi-radar installations Vertical Separation D f ra Pulse Compression Radar Pulse Compression Radar TX TX 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 3 m (9.
Considerations for direct roof mounting When deciding a suitable mounting location for the Halo® Pulse Compression Radar be aware that the vertical radar beam extends to 25° either side of horizontal. With 50% of the power projecting in a beam 12.5° off horizontal. If the radar beams cannot clear the roof line, this will decrease performance of the radar. Depending on the size of the hard top of the vessel, it is recommended to elevate the antenna to allow the radar beams to clear the roof line.
4 Hardware mounting Install the RI-12 radar Interface module Install the RI-12 in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips and condensation or excessive heat. The mounting position should be easily accessible. Always mount the RI-12 vertically, with the cable entry points facing downwards. This is to assist in cooling and to assist stopping any possible water ingress though the cable grommets.
Mount the pedestal The eight hex head bolts supplied are suitable for surfaces up to 25 mm (1”) in thickness. Use the 4 x M12 x 35 mm for a surface thickness from 5 mm (0.2”) up to 13 mm (1/2") Use the 4 x M12 x 50 mm for surface thickness from 13 mm (1/2”) up to 25 mm (1”) If using longer bolts make sure they are of marine grade stainless steel and allow for minimum of 12 mm (0.3”) and maximum of 20 mm (0.7”) of thread contact. For steel boats use the supplied nylon isolating washers 20 mm (0.
3. Drill pilot holes, Then use a 12.5 mm (1/2”) drill bit to drill the four holes where shown on the mounting template. f ra D 4. 5. Remove the mounting template . Lift the pedestal in to position using the supplied lifting strap.
