SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The operator and installer must read the applicable safety instructions before attempting to install or operate the equipment.

WARNING

Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard

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 ius in operation or eexpose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance. Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m are given in the table below.

Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution.

This is possible. Ask your FURUNO representive or dealer to provide this feature.

1. MOUNTING

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 Antenna Unit

Mounting considerations

• The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit in an elevated position to permit maximum target visibility.

• A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship should hit the surface of the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending which value is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.

less than 500 m or twice the ship’s length

• Mount the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are kept to a minimum. No blind sector should exist in arc of the horizon from right ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see Figure 1 below). Also, individual blind sectors of more than 5°, or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°, should not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors separated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.

Figure 1 Figure 2 a, b, c: less than 5 respectively a+b+c+... : less than 2022.522.5 less than 3

270 90

1-2

• Install the antenna unit away from interfering high-power energy sources and other transmitting radio antenna.

• Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit above the safety rail by 500 mm or more.

• Two antenna units should be mounted as below:

more than 20 more than 1 m

• No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna unit in the bow direction, especially zero degrees ±5°, to prevent blind sectors and false echoes on the radar picture.

• It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all directions is available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting.

• Locate a direction finder antenna clear of the antenna unit to prevent interference to the direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.

• A magnetic compass will be affected if the antenna unit is placed too close to the magnetic compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass.

• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.

• The antenna base is made of cast aluminum. To prevent electrolytic corrosion of the antenna base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat and ground the unit with the ground wire (supplied).

• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The antenna unit must not be mounted where the temperature is more than 55°C.

• Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the antenna unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.

1-3

Assembling the antenna unit The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and the antenna unit chassis, and they are packed separately. Fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis as follows:

1. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, attach two guide pins to the underside of the antenna radiator.

2. Remove the waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.

3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive sealant as shown below.

4. Coat fixing holes for the antenna radiator with anticorrosive sealant.

5. Grease the O-ring and set it to the O-ring groove of the radiator flange.

6. Set the antenna radiator to the radiator bracket.

7. Coat hex bolts M8x40 (for XN-20AF or XN-24AF) or hex bolt M8x35/ flat washer/spring washer (for XN-12AF) with anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis.

8. Remove two guide pins (inserted at step 1), and then tighten fixing bolts.

CAUTION

Be sure to remove the guide pins.

Injury may result if the guide pins loosen and fall.

Fastening the radiator to the radiator bracket Fastening the antenna unit to the mounting platform The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. However, do not lift the antenna unit by the radiator. Always hold the unit by its housing. When using a crane or hoist, lift the unit by the hoist rings which should be fastened to the bolt fixing covers of the antenna housing.

NOTICE

NO!

- To hoist antenna unit aboard vessel, attach ropes to lifting fixtures and hoist unit with crane.

- To remove load from radiator when hoisting, the length of the rope between the radiator base and the hook on the should be at least 130 cm.

- To keep the rope away from the radiator, turn the radiator and chassis approx. 30 degrees as shown below.

- Be sure to remove the lfiting fixtures after hoisting is completed.

2. WIRING

Wiring consideration

• To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing the signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment (radars, transmitting radio antennas, etc.) Also avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables. When crossing with other cable, the angle should be 90°to minimize the magnetic field coupling.

• The signal cable run between the antenna and processor units is available in lengths of 15 m (standard), 30 m and 50 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely, no splicing allowed. Use the signal cable as short as possible to minimize attenuation of the signal.

• The radar should be connected to an emergency power source, as required by SOLAS

3.4 Heading Alignment

You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow.

Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading line (zero degrees).

In practice, you will probably observe some small bearing error on the display because of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The following adjustment will compensate for this error.

000 010 020

170180190 α Target αCorrect bearing relative to heading

Antenna mounted error to port (HDG SW advance)

Picture appears deviated clockwise.

000 010 020

170180190 β Target βApparent position of target

Antenna mounted error to starboard (HDG SW delayed)

Picture appears deviated counterclockwise.

Correct bearing relative to heading

Apparent position of target

Heading alignment

1. Select a stationary target echo at a range between 0.125 and 0.25 nm, preferably near the heading line.

2. Operate the EBL control to bisect the target echo.

3.5 Adjustment Sweep Timing

Sweep timing differs with respect to the length of the signal cable between the antenna unit and the processor unit. Adjust sweep timing at installation to prevent the following symptoms:

• The echo of a “straight” target (for example, pier), on the 0.25 m range, will appear on the display as being pulled inward or pushed outward. See Figure below.

• The range of target echoes will also be incorrectly shown.

(1) Correct (2) Target pushed (3) Target pushed inward outward

Examples of correct and incorrect sweep timings

1. Transmit on the 0.25 nm range.

2. Adjust radar picture controls to display picture properly.

3. Select a target echo which should be displayed straightly.

4. Press the [4] key to choose the [TIMING ADJ] on the [ECHO ADJ] menu.

CABLE ATT ADJ

Before adjusting, set the radar as follows:

IR: 2, ES: off, EAV: off, 24nm range, long pulse (Same as default setting of PICTURE1) To adjust the cable attenuation manually, choose MANUAL by pressing [2] and the [ENTER] key, and then rotate the wheel so that noise just appears on the screen when the gain is set to 80. Default setting is 30 for the antenna cable length of 15m. The setting range is 0 to 73.

To adjust automatically, choose AUTO and press the [ENTER] key. The message “CABLE ATT ADJ” appears in yellow at the bottom of the screen. It takes about five minutes to complete the adjustment, after which the radar goes into stand-by.

DEFAULT ANT HEIGHT

Select height (m) of the radar antenna unit from the sea surface among 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and “more 50 m”.

NEAR STC CURVE, MID STC CURVE AND FAR STC CURVE

Use the default setting. Change the setting if desired according to sea condition.

RING SUPPRESSION

This is mainly used to removes “ring” noise which appears in the waveguide-type radar.

Adjust so the rings disappear at the range of 0.125 nm. The setting range is 0 to 255.
