Installation Preparation
2. 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.
At least 3 feet (1 m) from a magnetic compass or other scanners
Away from heat and fumes
On a stable platform that is capable of securely supporting the scanner under seagoing conditions
Easily accessible
WARNING! Do NOT install the radar in a location that exposes passengers and
crew to the radar beam. Do NOT mount the radar where it could radiate on any person.
CAUTION! Working at higher elevations may become necessary while installing
the scanner unit. Observe safety measures and take sufficient precautions to avoid
personal injury or damage to the equipment.
