CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 1 Introduction The Humminbird Radar scanner is a compact, solid-state radar that utilizes CHIRP pulse compression for improved range resolution. Connect the Radar scanner to your Humminbird control head to view a map-like representation of the area surrounding your vessel, enabling you to identify other vessels, buoys, and land features such as coastlines and hills.
CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 2 1. Installation Preparation 2. D Following are instructions for the installation of this accessory. Before you start installation, we encourage you to read these instructions carefully in order to get the full benefit from your Humminbird accessory.

Choose the Mounting Location It is important to consider the following information when installing the Radar scanner on the vessel. The Radar scanner must be mounted where it is: • Near the vessel's centerline • Above head height • Clear of large objects such as the flybridge, large engine stacks, searchlights, horns, masts, etc.
CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 6 Centerline Pot The scanner unit should be mounted on the centerline of your boat in a location that has an unobstructed view forward and is as clear as possible the rest of the way around the unit. For o • Locating the Vessel’s Centerline centerline of boat • Height Choose a location as high as practical to improve maximum range, but not so high as to be adversely affected by the vessel’s pitching and rolling.
