3G / 4G Radar
Do not install the Halo® pulse compression radar on the same beam plane as a conventional
pulse radar. A pulse radar must be set to STBY or OFF any time the Halo® radar is being operated.
 Note: Possible interference could be reduced by using the sector blanking feature (see “” on
page 27)
Power boat installations
If possible ensure that the location site
provides the scanner with a clear view all
round the vessel.
Installations on power boats that have a steep
planing angle, it is recommended to tilt the
scanner angle down at the front. (Beam angle is
12.5° either side of center).
 Note: Optional 4 degree wedge available from third party suppliers such as SeaView RW4-7
