Chapter 3: Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
Once you have installed your digital radar unit, and made all the
connections, you need to check your installation. You can then set
up the radar system, align the scanner and check the display timing.
In addition, for a 72" open array scanner you need to set the
antenna size to ensure the scanner rests in the correct position
when rotation stops.
Set up, alignment and timing checks are performed from the radar
system display unit. The procedures are outlined below; full details
are provided in the display unit/system Owner’s Handbook.
Reading the relevant Multifunctional display/system Owner’s
Handbook will help you to familiarize yourself with the operation of
the radar.
3.1 EMC Conformance
Always check the installation before going to sea to make sure that
it is not affected by radio transmissions, engine starting etc.
To do this:
• Turn on all transmitting equipment (radar, VHF radio etc.).
• Check that all electronic systems are operating correctly without
undue interference or noise.
3.2 System Checks
Before performing the functional test, check the following:
• All securing bolts are fully tightened and mechanical locking
arrangements as specified are in place
• All connections have been made
• All connecting wires are secured and protected as necessary
Note: We recommend that an certified and authorized Raymarine agent
checks the installation before going to sea.
