INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Important Safety Information

&,WARNN

Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could

result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor

product performance.

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the

product box for product warnings and other important

information.

The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. To avoid possible

personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product

performance, ensure that the radar is installed according to the

recommendations in these instructions and that all personnel

are clear of the path of the radar beam before transmitting.

When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar

conforms to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992

Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to

Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly at the

antenna at close range when the radar is transmitting. Eyes are

the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line

fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product

damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse

must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In

addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate

fuse in place voids the product warranty.

&CAUTION

This device should be used only as a navigational aid. Using the

device for any purpose requiring precise measurement or

direction, distance, location, or topography may result in

personal injury or damage to the vessel.

To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,

ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or

sanding.

Opening the device may result in personal injury and/or damage

to the device. This device contains no user-serviceable parts,

and should be opened only by a Garmin• authorized service

technician. Any damage resulting from opening the unit by

anyone other than a Garmin authorized service technician will

not be covered by the Garmin warranty.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite

side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.

Software Update

You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you

install this device. For instructions on updating the software, see

your chartplotter owner's manual at

Tools Needed

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

lR[

•

5 mm hex wrench

•

Drill and 15.0 mm ( 1%

in.) drill bit

• 17 mm (

21 /

in.) wrench and torque wrench

• A length of 3.31 mm

(12 AWG) copper wire to ground the

radar housing (and voltage converter, if applicable).

• Marine sealant

Mounting Considerations

When selecting a mounting location, observe these

considerations.

• It is highly recommended that the device is mounted out of

range of people, with the vertical beam width above head

height. To avoid exposure to harmful radio frequency (RF)

levels, the device should not be mounted closer to people

than the maximum safe distance value listed in the product

specifications.

• The device should be mounted high above the ship's keel

line with minimal blockage of the radar beam. Obstructions

may cause blind and shadow sectors or generate false

echoes. The higher the installation position, the farther the

radar can detect targets.

• The device should be mounted on a flat surface or a platform

that is parallel to the vessel's water line and is sturdy enough

to support the device's weight. The weight for each model

and antenna is listed in the product specifications.

• The device must be mounted in a location where it can be

connected to power, water ground, and the Garmin Marine

Network

(Wiring and Connection Considerations, page

• The radar beam spreads vertically 11.5

11.5

below

the radar's radiating element. On vessels with

higher bow angles at cruise speed, the installation angle can

be lowered to point the beam slightly downward to the

waterline while at rest. Shims can be used if necessary.

• The device should be mounted away from heat sources, such

as smoke stacks and lights.

• The device should be mounted at a different level than

horizontal spreaders and mast crosstrees.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device

should not be mounted closer to a compass than the

compass-safe distance value listed in the product

specifications.

• Other electronics and cables should be mounted more than

2 m (6.5 ft.) from the radar beam path.

• GPS antennas should be either above or below the radar

beam path.

• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) from any

transmitting equipment.

• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) away

from cables carrying radio signals such as VHF radios,

cables, and antennas.

• The device should be mounted at least 2 m (6.5 ft.) away

from Single Side Band (SSB) radios.
