Chapter 3:
System Tests and Post Installation Alignment
Once you have installed your radar scanner and display 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.
Set up, alignment and timing checks are perfomed from the radar system
display unit. The procedures are outlined below; full details are provided in the
display unit Owner’s Handbook. You should read the Pathfinder radar display
unit Owner’s Handbook and familiarise yourself with the operation of the
radar.
System Check
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: If you are the boat owner and have performed the installation yourself,
ask your authorised installation dealer to check the installation before going to
sea.
Set Up, Alignment and Timing Checks
Switch On and Initial Setup
To switch on the display unit, press and hold the POWER key until the unit
beeps. The magnetron warm-up sequence should start, after which the unit
should enter Standby mode.
If necessary, adjust the lighting and contrast .
If required, change the default language settings
Checking Transmission
WARNING:
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the
scanner has been installed according to the recommendations given in
Chapter 1, and that all personnel are clear of the scanner, before switching
to transmit mode.
Run through the radar operations described in the display unit Owner’s
Handbook and check that all the expected data is displayed.
