Digital radar dimensions
CAUTION:
If two digital radars are installed at different locations in a dual
radar system, care should be taken to allow for the difference
in position of the radars when switching between the two on
your display, this is especially noticeable at short ranges on
larger vessels.
Selecting the best location for the digital radar unit requires careful
consideration of the following points, to ensure reliable and trouble
free operation:
• Height: The digital radar unit should normally be mounted as
high as practical above the waterline, for three reasons:
• For safety reasons the digital radar should be out of range of
personnel, preferably above head height. This avoids
mechanical danger and electromagnetic contact, particularly
with the eyes.
