3.7 Location requirementsThe optimum height for the Quantum™ scanner isa location that is high enough above the waterlineto give a long range line-of-sight to the horizon, butnot so high as to be adversely affected by the boat'spitching and rolling.

D11700-1

The scanner must also be mounted where it is:• Above head height.• Easily accessible.• As near as possible to the boat's centerline.• On a rigid and stable platform, capable of securelysupporting the scanner under seagoing conditions.

• Clear of large objects such as the flybridge, largeengine stacks, searchlights, horns, masts etc.(see Shadow areas and false echoes for additionalinformation)

• Clear of heat and fumes.• At least 1 m (3 ft) from a magnetic compass orother scanners.

Shadow areas and false echoesMount the Radar scanner away from large structuresor equipment, such as engine stacks, searchlights,horns, or masts. These objects may cause shadowareas and false echoes. For example, if youmount the Radar scanner on a mast, echoes fromother targets may be reflected from the mast. Wetsails may also cause shadow areas, so Radarperformance may be reduced in the rain. It isparticularly important to avoid shadow areas near thebow. Raising or even lowering the Radar scannermay help to reduce these effects.In shadow areas beyond the obstruction there will bea reduction of the beam intensity. There may be ablind sector if the beam intensity is not sufficient toobtain an echo from an object. This may occur evenat close range. For this reason the angular widthand relative bearing of any shadow area must bedetermined at installation.You may be able to detect shadow areas or falseechoes on your multifunction display. For example,sea clutter can be used as a good indicator of blindarcs. Dark sectors on the Radar display indicate


possible shadowed areas. This information shouldbe posted near the display unit and operators mustbe alert for targets in these blind areas.

Radar scanner mounting angleEnsure the Radar scanner rotates parallel to thewater line.The Radar beam from the Radar scanner isapproximately 20° wide in the vertical direction, togive good target detection even when your vesselpitches and rolls.

10°

10°

D11359-2

Planing hull vessels, and some displacement hullvessels, adopt a higher bow angle when the vessel isat cruising speed. This may raise the Radar’s mainradiation angle, and can cause poor detection ofnearby targets. It may be necessary to compensatefor the bow rise to ensure optimum target detection.This can be achieved by fitting a wedge or washersbetween the mounting platform and the base of theRadar scanner, so that the Radar beam remainsparallel to the water line when the vessel's bow risesat cruising speed.

D13400-1

Item Description1 Wedge or washers

Multiple Radar scanners — locationrequirementsImportant location considerations when installingmultiple radar scanners on the same vessel.• Scanners should be mounted above each other,vertically separated by at least 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Thisapplies to all installation locations on the vessel.

• Multiple scanners should be mounted in a waythat minimizes interference between the verticalbeamwidths of the 2 scanners.

• In all cases, you should aim to achieve as muchphysical separation as possible, to minimize anypotential interference.

Cables and connections 21

4.1 General cabling guidance

Cable types and lengthIt is important to use cables of the appropriate typeand length• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cablesof the correct type, supplied by Raymarine.

• Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of thecorrect quality and gauge. For example, longerpower cable runs may require larger wire gaugesto minimize voltage drop along the run.

Routing cablesCables must be routed correctly, to maximizeperformance and prolong cable life.• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Whereverpossible, ensure a minimum bend diameter of 200mm (8 in) / minimum bend radius of 100 mm (4 in).

100 mm (4 in)

200 mm (8 in)

• Protect all cables from physical damage andexposure to heat. Use trunking or conduit wherepossible. Do NOT run cables through bilges ordoorways, or close to moving or hot objects.

• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacingtwine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way.

• Where a cable passes through an exposedbulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertightfeed-through.

• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescentlights.

Always route data cables as far away as possiblefrom:• other equipment and cables,• high current carrying AC and DC power lines,• antennae.

Strain reliefEnsure adequate strain relief is provided. Protectconnectors from strain and ensure they will not pullout under extreme sea conditions.

Circuit isolationAppropriate circuit isolation is required forinstallations using both AC and DC current:• Always use isolating transformers or a separatepower-inverter to run PC’s, processors, displaysand other sensitive electronic instruments ordevices.

• Always use an isolating transformer with WeatherFAX audio cables.

• Always use an isolated power supply when usinga 3rd party audio amplifier.

• Always use an RS232/NMEA converter withoptical isolation on the signal lines.

• Always make sure that PC’s or other sensitiveelectronic devices have a dedicated power circuit.

Cable shieldingEnsure that all data cables are properly shieldedthat the cable shielding is intact (e.g. hasn’t beenscraped off by being squeezed through a tight area).

Suppression ferrites• Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or suppliedwith suppression ferrites. These are important forcorrect EMC performance. If ferrites are suppliedseparately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), youmust fit the supplied ferrites, using the suppliedinstructions.

• If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g.installation or maintenance), it must be replaced inthe original position before the product is used.

• Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied byRaymarine or its authorized dealers.

• Where an installation requires multiple ferrites tobe added to a cable, additional cable clips shouldbe used to prevent stress on the connectors dueto the extra weight of the cable.

Making connectionsFollow the steps below to connect the cable(s) toyour product. If you intend to use the scanner’s Wi-Fifunctionality to connect to your multifunction display,you need only connect a power cable to the scanner.

Note: If your vessel is already fitted with acombined power / data Digital Radar cable, youcan use a Y-adapter (part number A80308) toconnect the existing cable-end to the scanner’sconnectors.

1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switchedoff.

2. Ensure that the multifunction display beingconnected to the scanner has been installedin accordance with the installation instructionssupplied with that device.

3. Ensure the power connector locking collar on thescanner is in the unlocked position.

4. Route the power cable and optional data cablewithin the scanner base, as shown in the cablerouting illustrations in this section. Cable routingdepends on whether you mount the scanner ona platform or on a pole, and on whether youare using a Y-adapter to connect to an existingcombined power / data Digital Radar cable.

5. Ensure that the power cable connector isorientated so that the notch lines up with theguide in the connector.

6. Push the power cable connector all the way intothe scanner’s power connector.

7. Rotate the locking collar clockwise until it is in thelocked position (2 clicks).

8. Push the optional data cable fully onto thecorresponding connector on the scanner.

9. If you are using a Y-adapter, make the finalconnection between the adapter and the existingcombined power / data Digital Radar cable.

5. Before securing the scanner to the mountingplatform, connect the power cable (and optionallya data cable), ensuring that all cables are routedappropriately. See the 4.2 Connections overviewsection for further information about makingconnections, and cable routing.

6. Ensuring that the bolts do not enter the scannerbase more than 25 mm (1 inch), secure thescanner with the 4 bolts, flat washers and springwashers provided, as illustrated. If necessary,use appropriate shims or extra washers to limitthe length of bolt entering the scanner base.

D13404-1

7. Tighten the bolts to a torque of15 Nm (133 lbf/inch).

8. Attach a safety lanyard (not supplied) to yourvessel, and secure the free end to the scannerusing the attachment point shown in the followingillustration:

D13413-2

Item Description1 Safety lanyard attachment point.

Note: If you are installing the Radar scanner on asailing vessel, additional protection for the Radarscanner may be required. Refer to 5.2 Radarscanner protection — sailing vessels.

30 Quantum Radome

Multiple Quantum™ Radar scannersOnly 1 (one) Quantum™ Radar scanner can be usedat any one time, per networked system.If you have more than one Quantum™ Radarscanner installed on your vessel and want to usethem at the same time, the multifunction displaysto which the scanners are connected must NOTbe networked together. This applies to Quantum™scanners connected either wired or wirelessly.

Multiple Radar scanners — locationrequirementsImportant location considerations when installingmultiple radar scanners on the same vessel.• Scanners should be mounted above each other,vertically separated by at least 0.5 m (1.6 ft). Thisapplies to all installation locations on the vessel.

• Multiple scanners should be mounted in a waythat minimizes interference between the verticalbeamwidths of the 2 scanners.

• In all cases, you should aim to achieve as muchphysical separation as possible, to minimize anypotential interference.

5.2 Radar scanner protection — sailingvesselsAdditional considerations apply when installing theRadar scanner on a sailing vessel.• When mounting the Radar scanner unit onto themast, check that the unit is not fouled by the sails,especially when tacking.

• Depending on the type of sailing vessel and thedesign of the sailplan, a Radar scanner guardshould be attached to the mast if the sails orrigging contact either the Radar scanner unit orthe mounting bracket. Without a proper Radarguard, serious damage can result to the Radarmounting bracket and the Radar itself. In extremecases, such damage could result in the Radarscanner unit being pulled off the mast. Therefore,it is recommended that a Radar scanner guardshould be mounted additionally and separately tothe Radar scanner mounting bracket.

• To prevent the risk of the Radar scanner unit fallingafter it has been damaged, the security lanyardsupplied with the mast bracket MUST be securedproperly to the mast and to the Radar scannerunit, according to the instructions provided withthe bracket. If a safety lanyard is not supplied withthe mounting bracket, contact your local dealer forappropriate parts. Do NOT attach other equipmentto either the Radar scanner unit or the bracket.

• Raymarine strongly recommends that you checkthe condition and security of the bracket mountingfeet, the security lanyard(s), the Radar scannerguard, and the Radar scanner unit itself, on ayearly basis (or more frequently depending onenvironmental applications). Any fittings should bereplaced as appropriate.

The following illustration shows an example of aninstallation featuring a Radar scanner fitted to atypical mounting bracket, a Radar guard attached tothe mast (separately to the Radar mounting bracket),and safety lanyards:

Note: The Radar guard shown in the illustrationabove is provided as an example only. The exactdesign and positioning of the Radar guard iswholly dependent on the nature of your vessel,sailplan, and installation environment. Forexample, for some vessels it is appropriate tolocate the guard above the Radar scanner; forother vessels, it may be more appropriate to fit itbelow the scanner. Raymarine does not supplyRadar guards but recommends that you selecta guard that is attached directly to the mast andis completely separate to the Radar mountingbracket. It may be necessary to have a Radarguard custom designed to suit your specific vesseland installation environment. Please contact yourlocal dealer for further advice.
