Dedicated Keys

The dedicated keys: DISPLAY, MARKS, GAIN, VRM/EBL, MULTI, ALARMS, RANGE, ENTER, CLEAR, MENU and POWER have fixed functions; the functions are similar on all Pathfinder displays. For example, ALARMS is used to set up the system alarms on both a chartplotter and a radar. Some keys can be used in two ways: Press: Press the key momentarily and then release it. This method is used for most key operations. Press and hold: Press the key and hold it down for the length of time stated (for example, 3 seconds), and then release it. When you press a dedicated key, one of the following happens: i. The associated operation is actioned, e.g. change chart scale (RANGE). ii. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options. iii. A set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions. As you press a key, a single audio beep confirms the key action. If the keypress is not valid for the current screen or mode, three rapid beeps sound to indicate that no response is available. If required, you can turn the key beeps off as part of your set up procedure (see Chapter 5).

Soft Keys

The four keys below the screen are called soft keys because their functions change according to the operation. The soft keys are grouped into related sets and subsets providing access to the various functions. The soft key labels are

Table 1-2:

Context-Sensitive Cursor Text Labels
displayed on the screen just above the keys. The default soft keys are displayed until you press a key, or select an item on the screen; the soft keys associated with the action are then displayed.
HDG MODE TARGETS SCREEN MARPA

Pop-Up Menus
The currently selected soft key option is shown by its gray or green background. If the key text is displayed in gray rather than in black, it is not currently available. When you press a soft key one of the following happens: i. The associated operation is actioned, e.g. NORTH UP. ii. A sub-set of soft keys is displayed, providing further functions. iii. A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options. As with dedicated keys, when you press a soft key a single audio beep confirms the key action. If the key-press is not valid for the current screen or mode, three rapid beeps sound to indicate that no response is available. If required, you can turn the key beeps off as part of your set up procedure (see Chapter 5).
Pop-up menus usually provide set up options. When a pop-up menu is onscreen, a set of associated soft keys is also displayed as shown in Figure 1-4. You use the trackpad to select an option from the menu, then use the appropriate soft key to set the option. For example, you can toggle the OFF TRACK ALARM on/off.

2.2 Switching the Display On and Off
This section explains how to switch the radar display and scanner on and off, and how to switch the scanner between Transmit, Standby and Scanner Off mode. You normally operate your radar in transmit mode, but you can use the display unit without the scanner operating as follows: Standby mode: You should use this mode when you are not operating the radar for short time periods. The scanner does not transmit and the antenna does not rotate, so the radar uses less power. However, the scanner remains powered so when you return to transmit mode, the magnetron does not need to warm up. Scanner off mode: You should use this mode when you do not require the radar, but you are using the display unit say, to view data from another source. Scanner off mode removes power from the scanner.
To switch the display on, press and hold the POWER key until the unit beeps. The keys light up, the display shows the Pathfinder graphic, followed by the start-up information illustrated below, and the radar starts the magnetron warm-up sequence.
Switching the Display On and Off

WARMING UP

Figure 2-1:
Switching on the Radar Display
After 70 seconds, when the magnetron warm-up sequence is complete, the Standby screen is displayed, with the text STANDBY and a prompt to press the POWER key to enter Transmit mode.
To switch the radar scanner from Stand-by mode to Transmit mode, press the POWER key.
The scanner transmits pulsed energy while it rotates, and the antenna sweep builds up the radar picture using echoes returned from targets.

Figure 2-2:

Radar Transmit Mode
You can switch on and adjust the display backlighting and, on the mono display, contrast, as described later in this chapter. To switch to Stand-by mode, press the POWER key. The display returns to the Stand-by screen, and the scanner transmission and rotation stops. To use Scanner off mode:
1. Ensure that the radar is in Standby mode, warming up, or displaying a message that radar data is not available. 2. Press the CLEAR key. The message STANDBY. RADAR DATA NOT AVAILABLE appears in the radar picture. The scanner is powered down and the timer, if running, is cleared. To return to radar operation, press the POWER key. The warm-up countdown is displayed and the radar goes into Standby mode. You press POWER again to switch to Transmit mode when required.

When you have completed an action using the soft keys, press ENTER or CLEAR to return to the default screen; you may need to press ENTER or CLEAR several times to back-track through the soft key hierarchy. Note: If you have set up your system so that the default soft keys are not displayed all the time, press any soft key to display the labels. The remainder of this section describes how to select the mode of operation and switch half-screen windows on/off. The following sections describe how to set up the display for the Radar. The controls are summarized in the fold-out illustration on page 2.9.

Using the Zoom Function - SL70C Color Displays
If you wish to see a section of the radar picture in more detail, you can use the Zoom function to magnify the selected area to twice its size. There are two zoom options: Zoom Into - The enlarged area is displayed in a quarter-screen Zoom Window in the lower right corner of the screen. A box in the original radar picture indicates the enlarged area; you can move this using the contextsensitive cursor, thereby changing the image in the Zoom Window. Note: If the area you wish to enlarge is in the quarter of the screen that will be covered by the Zoom Window, you should offset the center (see the next section) to move the area to another part of the screen before selecting Zoom mode. Zoom From - The enlarged area is displayed in the main window, with the original radar picture in a quarter-screen window in the lower right corner of the screen. A box in the original radar picture indicates the enlarged area; you can move this using the context-sensitive cursor, thereby changing the zoomed image. Note: You cannot use Zoom and Windows at the same time: if you turn one on, the other is turned off automatically, and restored when the latter is turned off again.

To place a VRM/EBL when one is already displayed:
1. Press VRM/EBL to display the VRM/EBL soft keys.

VRM/EBL1 OFF ON

VRM/EBL2 OFF ON

VRM/EBL DATABOX OFF ON

D3645-2
The labels for the two left-hand soft keys indicate the current status of the two VRM/EBLs.
2. Press the soft key for the VRM/EBL you require, to toggle the setting from OFF to ON. The soft key labels are cleared, and the radar picture shows the VRM/EBL and its associated data box. 3. Position the EBL/VRM using the trackpad, and press ENTER to drop it. The radar shows the VRM/EBL as a short-dashed line (VRM/EBL1) or a long-dashed line (VRM/EBL2), and the cursor returns to normal control.
Moving an Existing VRM/EBL
You can move an existing VRM/EBL using the context-sensitive cursor. You can control the VRM and EBL separately or both together.
Use the context sensitive cursor to select and move any VRM and/or EBL. If you wish to change the VRM and EBL together, move the cursor over the intersection of VRM/EBL. The label indicates the current object as VRM, EBL, or VRM/EBL. See Moving and deleting items with the context-sensitive cursor on page 1-10.
Measuring Range and Bearing Between Targets (FLOAT)
Deleting an Existing VRM/EBL
You can delete a VRM/EBL by using the VRM/EBL key to display the soft keys, and pressing the required VRM /EBL soft key to toggle the setting from ON to OFF. Alternatively, you can delete an existing VRM/EBL using the contextsensitive cursor as described in Moving and deleting items with the contextsensitive cursor on page 1-10
This has the same effect as turning the VRM/EBL off using the VRM/EBL soft keys. It turns off the VRM/EBL pair, irrespective of the cursor text: you cannot turn off VRMs and EBLs independently.
You can measure the range and bearing between any two points on the radar, such as two targets, using the Pathfinder Plus Radars Float function. This allows you to move the origin of a VRM/EBL away from your vessels position and onto a target. You can then change the angle of the EBL, relative to its new origin, to obtain the bearing between two points. The radius of the VRM can also be adjusted to determine the distance between two points.

Floating a VRM/EBL

Note: You can float a VRM/EBL pair using either the soft keys or the contextsensitive cursor. The procedure for using the cursor is the same as for moving or unfloating a VRM/EBL pair, as described below; however, as it is more difficult to locate the VRM/EBL origin when it is over the center, you will probably find it easier to use the keys in this case.

Choppy sea state conditions exist yielding poor stability; own ships heading data is very unstable. Inadequate heading data Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the MARPA vectors are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the target, locks onto another target or changes to a lost target symbol. If any of these conditions are present, acquisition and tracking may need to be re-initiated or, in some cases be impossible to maintain. Improving the quality of the heading data will reduce the effect of the other conditions.

Risk Assessment

Each target is monitored to see if it will be within a certain distance from your own vessel within a certain time. If so, the target is designated as dangerous and you are warned with an audible alarm in addition to a warning on the screen. The target symbol changes and flashes to indicate that it is a dangerous target. Pressing any key silences the alarm and removes the warning, but the target symbol remains dangerous. Both the distance (Own Vessel Safe Zone) and the time (Time to Safe Zone) are selectable as described in Section 5.5. If a target is lost, either because the MARPA software has lost contact with it, or because it has moved out of range, you are warned, again with an audible alarm and an on-screen warning. Pressing any key silences the alarm, removes the warning and removes the lost target symbol from the screen.

Target Data

All MARPA targets are stored in a MARPA database list, which shows bearing, range, course and speed of each tracked target. For any one target a pop-up data box can be placed on the screen, this shows bearing, range, course, speed, CPA (Closest Point of Approach) and TCPA (Time to Closest Point of Approach). The target for which data is displayed is indicated by a circle around its symbol. Each target is displayed as a symbol to indicate its status: Target is being acquired Target is safe Target is dangerous. Target is Lost The dangerous and lost symbols are shown flashing.
Target Vector and History
The MARPA targets can be displayed with a vector line showing where they will be at a certain time in the future, (assuming present course and speed). You can select a relative or true vector and the vector length. The vector type (RV or TV) and length are shown in the status bar. You can also select to view the targets history, this appears as a series of dots that are dropped by the target as it makes way. The interval between them is selectable. A relative vector indicates the targets motion related to your own ships motion. The targets relative course and speed are calculated to produce a vector that is displayed on the target only. This mode is used for collision avoidance and threat assessment. A true vector indicates the targets motion over ground. In this mode true vectors for the target and your own ship are displayed. MARPA measures the direction in which the target and own ship are actually moving over the ground. The result is the vessels true course, the rate of motion is the vessels true speed. Consider this motion as if you were in a helicopter looking down watching the targets move across the water. This mode can aid navigation. Section 5.5 describes how to set the target vector and history parameters.

Data Transfer

MARPA data is sent on NMEA allowing any other equipment, with the necessary functionality, to show the tracked targets data.

Radar Range Scales

MARPA target acquisition is only available at radar range scales of up to 12nm, although tracking continues at all ranges. Note: If you change to a lower range scale, targets may be beyond the range of the scanner and will be lost. In such cases an alarm pop-up indicates the target is off-screen.

Using MARPA

The MARPA functions are accessed through the MARPA default soft key, and some options are available with the context sensitive cursor, or through the MARPA database list. Where there are two ways of performing a certain function this section describes both ways. Information on how to set up the MARPA system is in Section 5.5.

2. Position the cursor over the required target and press the ACQUIRE TARGET soft key. The symbol is placed at the cursor position and the radar searches for a target at the cursor position. If a target is present for several scans the radar locks onto it and the symbol indicates a safe target, the target vector is also displayed. If the target is continuously lost, the lost target symbol is displayed and a Lost Target alarm is generated; press any key to cancel the alarm and remove the lost target symbol from the display. 3. Press ENTER or CLEAR to return to the default display.

Cancel a Target

To cancel a target using the context-sensitive cursor:
1. Move the cursor over the target, the following soft keys are displayed.
CANCEL TARGET MARPA BOX OFF ON

D4119_1

2. Press the CANCEL TARGET soft key to cancel target tracking and remove the symbol from the display. The default soft keys are displayed.
To cancel a target from the database list. 1. Press the default soft key MARPA to display the MARPA soft keys.
2. Press the MARPA LIST soft key, the database list is displayed. 3. Use the trackpad to select a target, then press the CANCEL TARGET soft key to remove the selected target. 4. Press CLEAR to remove the database list.

Manual Mode

If you select Manual mode, by pressing either of the MANUAL keys, you can specify the local variation value according to the area in which you are operating. Press the appropriate MANUAL key to adjust the variation up or down, to a maximum of 30 East or West. This value is then transmitted to any other SeaTalk instruments on your system. It is retained if you turn the display off and on again. In Manual mode, incoming NMEA variation is ignored. However, if the variation is changed on another SeaTalk instrument, the new value is used and the manual value that is displayed is updated. Note: The Manual variation value defaults to 0, so it is important to set up a value if variation is not available from an external source.

Bridge NMEA Heading

The displays bridge NMEA input data to the SeaTalk bus (see Section 6.8). The Bridge NMEA Heading option can be used to prevent NMEA heading data being bridged onto the SeaTalk bus.
For example, if you have a course computer connected on SeaTalk and NMEA, and an active compass connected on NMEA(for MARPA), SeaTalk data overrides NMEA data in the course computer. You should therefore switch OFF the Bridge NMEA Heading option to ensure the course computer receives the same NMEA heading input as the radar system.

NMEA Out Set Up

This option lets you switch off individual NMEA out sentences.
You can set up an integrated system so that radar and chartplotter displays connected via SeaTalk can display each others cursors. Cursor echo functions so that you can display a chart cursor on the radar picture, or a radar cursor on the chart picture (you cannot display a remote radar cursor in a radar window nor a remote chart cursor in a chart window). When the appropriate options are switched on, each display shows its own cursor, plus the cursor of the other display with appropriate cursor text (RDR or CHT) to indicate its origin. This means that you could move the cursor over a target on the radar display, and check the identity of the target by looking at the radar cursor position on the chartplotter. Press the CURSOR ECHO soft key to display the cursor transfer soft keys. The following options can be toggled ON or OFF: Radar Cursor In: - not valid for SL70C and SL70M displays. Chart Cursor In: displays the cursor from another chartplotter on the radar window (default - OFF). Note: The remote display must have SeaTalk Cursor Out enabled. Raymarine recommend that in multi-display systems, you do not enable Cursor Out on more than two displays. If multiple displays have cursor out enabled, the cursors will not be displayed simultaneously, but will flash on/off. SeaTalk Cursor Out: enables the output, onto SeaTalk, of the displays own cursor (default - OFF). Cursor Echo Local: - not valid for SL70C and SL70M displays. If you set the options to OFF, no cursor echo information is displayed.

The target vector can be True or Relative. True indicates the targets true course and speed over ground. If selected, the vessels vector is also shown. A Relative vector indicates the targets course and speed relative to your vessel. The length of the vector is determined by the target predicted position after a set time interval.

Planning the Installation
Before you install your system, plan the installation, considering: Location of the display unit, as described in Section 6.3. Cable Runs, including cables for an integrated system (to provide heading and position data etc.), as described in Section 6.4.
EMC Installation Guidelines
All Raymarine equipment and accessories are designed to the best industry standards for use in the recreational marine environment. Their design and manufacture conforms to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards, but correct installation is required to ensure that performance is not compromised. Although every effort has been taken to ensure that they will perform under all conditions, it is important to understand what factors could affect the operation of the product. The guidelines given here describe the conditions for optimum EMC performance, but it is recognized that it may not be possible to meet all of these conditions in all situations. To ensure the best possible conditions for EMC performance within the constraints imposed by any location, always ensure the maximum separation possible between different items of electrical equipment. For optimum EMC performance, it is recommended that wherever possible: Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are: At least 3 ft (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft (2 m).
More than 7 ft (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element. The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V, and starter motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some information and may change the operating mode. Raymarine specified cables are used. Cutting and rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual. If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation it must be reassembled in the same position.

Suppression Ferrites

The following illustration shows typical cable suppression ferrites used with Raymarine equipment. Always use the ferrites supplied by Raymarine.

D3548-4

To determine the alignment error, use one of the methods detailed below.
1. Visually identify a suitable target, such as a buoy that can be seen towards the edge of the radar screen. Typically, this will be on the 1.5 nm range. 2. If the vessel is moored: i. Determine the accurate bearing of the target relative to the ships bow with the aid of a hand bearing compass. i.e. Subtract the ships head bearing from the target visual bearing. Example 1 Visual bearing= 065 M Ships head= 021M Relative bearing= 044R Example 2 Visual bearing = 030M Ships head= 042M Relative bearing= -012(+360) = 348R ii. Measure the relative bearing of the target on the radar using an EBL. iii. If there is a difference in the two bearings (alignment error), adjust the radar as detailed below. If the vessel is under way (in reasonably calm conditions): i. Align the vessels bow to the target. ii. Note the position of the target relative to the Heading marker. iii. If the target is not under the Heading marker, there is an alignment error and the radar can be adjusted as detailed below.
To adjust the radar to eliminate the alignment error:
1. If a visual relative bearing of a target has been determined, as in 2.1 above, set an EBL to this relative bearing. 2. Press the MENU key to display the setup soft keys and select RADAR SET UP.

3. Use the trackpad to move the selection bar on the Radar Set Up Menu to BEARING ALIGNMENT. 4. Use the soft keys to adjust the Bearing Alignment slider and to rotate the radar picture. As soon as you start the adjustment, the menu is cleared so that the rotation of the picture can be seen. The keys can pressed and held, to rotate the picture quickly, rather than in single steps. 5. Rotate the picture to place the target under the EBL, or Heading Marker, depending on the method used to obtain the correct relative bearing. 6. When the bearing alignment error has been eliminated press ENTER to redisplay the Radar Set Up menu. 7. Press ENTER again to return to the set up soft keys, then press CLEAR to return to the normal radar screen. 8. After adjusting the radar, always check the bearing alignment at the next opportunity. Usually the bow alignment to target is the most convenient method, see If the vessel is under way (in reasonably calm conditions): on page 6-18.

NMEA Input Connection

The two NMEA/Power input connectors are normally used for non-SeaTalk Compass (heading) data or GPS. It can also be used for additional navigation data (if not provided via SeaTalk). Connect the input(s) to the orange and yellow wires (Channel 1) and/or the green and blue wires (Channel 2). Refer to Power and NMEA Input Connection on page 6-15 for further details. For example, to connect a Raymarine Heading Sensor to the NMEA Channel 1 input, connect the cables and power supply using a suitable connector block, as shown in the diagram below. If installed, it may be
convenient to connect the power to the SeaTalk auxiliary junction box described in the following section.

D3604-1

Figure 6-13: NMEA Input Connection
Using the SeaTalk Auxiliary Junction Box
A junction box (provided with the radar/chart displays; optional with the radar displays) is used to connect the SeaTalk system to the display unit. This junction box enables the SeaTalk bus, power and GPS to be connected. If power is not already available (via another SeaTalk instrument), the junction box can be used to apply power to the SeaTalk bus for other applications. The junction box may also be used for other purposes, e.g. supplying power to a flux gate compass and routing the compass data to the display NMEA In connection, or alternatively, for connecting a NMEA GPS system. The junction box includes: SeaTalk cable and connector to attach to display unit Power cable to connect to 12 V power (if required) Input connections to connect SeaTalk cable from external equipment Spare connections for another instrument
CAUTION: Ensure correct polarity of the 12 V supply before applying radar or SeaTalk power. It is recommended that a multimeter is used to check the connections.
Figure 6-14 shows how to connect the junction box; Appendix B provides connection details for specific GPS and Beacon Receiver systems.

Note: If the required extension results in unacceptably large diameter cables, use two or more smaller gauge wires to achieve the required copper wire cross-section. For example, using two pairs of 2 mm2 is equivalent to using two single 4.0 mm2 cables.
24 V and 32 V systems These systems are less sensitive than 12 V systems to voltage loss in the power cables. However, it is still necessary to use adequate cables to prevent excessive power loss. The table below gives the recommended wire gauge for different power cable extension lengths. Raymarine recommends that power is fed directly from the output of the battery isolator switch via its own dedicated cable system. CAUTION: The display unit does not include a fuse for scanner power, so an in-line fuse or circuit breaker MUST be included in the power cable.

Open array scanner cables for C-series displays
A split pedestal cable is required to connect a compatible open array scanner to the display unit and to the power source. If you are connecting an existing compatible scanner to a C-Series display a pedestal adaptor cable can be used instead of the split pedestal cable. CAUTION: Do not extend the split pedestal or pedestal adaptor cable.

6. Slide the gland nut (1) and grommet (3) onto the inter-unit cable (4) and insert the cable, still covered by its protective sleeve, through the gland. 7. Carefully cut and remove the protective sleeve to expose the 8-way plug (5) and power cores (7). Place the cable in the earthing clamp (10), ensuring that the exposed wire braid sits in the earthing clamp. 8. Connect the 8-way plug (5) to the connector (6). The correct fitting is with the small arrow marked on the body of the plug facing upwards and to the left hand side. The grey wire will then be at the left hand side and the white wire will be at the right hand side.
27 9. Connect the red +and black - power cores (7). If you have a 10 m or light 15 m inter-unit cable, there is one pair of cores. Connect the red cable lead to one of the terminal sockets marked +, and the black cable lead to one of the sockets marked -. If you have a heavy 15 m inter-unit cable, there are two pairs of cores. Connect the red cable leads to the terminal sockets marked +, and the black cable leads to the terminal sockets marked -, with one lead in each socket. The terminal clamps (8) are operated using a screwdriver (9), as shown in the inset diagram on the previous page. 10. Secure the nut (1) on the watertight gland (2), making sure that it grips the cables outer sheath. 11. Secure the cable with the top clamp (11), using the two screws (12) provided. Ensure that the clamp goes around the exposed wire braid, and that the wire braid makes contact with the earthing clamp. Tighten the screws until the top clamp deforms just enough to contact the lower earthing clamp (see inset). CAUTION: It is essential that the drain tube is fitted and that the nut on the watertight gland is adequately tightened. If this is not done, water could become trapped in the scanner and cause irreparable damage. 12. Tighten the securing nut (1) again to ensure a waterproof seal. 13. If you have a 4D scanner, replace the inner cover over the connectors. 14. Untie the cord from the scanner cover, and coil it up in the base of the scanner unit so that it cannot foul the rotating antenna. 15. Replace the scanner cover, aligning the mark on the cover with the mark on the scanner base above the cable gland, and tighten the 4 or 7 captive screws. Do not over-tighten these screws.

2.2 Open array scanner

Installation of the open array scanner should only be undertaken by a competent installer. If you have any difficulty with the installation, please contact your local Raymarine dealer or distributor. The open array scanner is supplied in two sections; the pedestal unit and the antenna. The pedestal unit is secured from below the mounting platform. The open array is then secured to the pedestal. Full details for mounting the scanner are given below. CAUTION: The pedestal unit has a cap fitted over the open array mounting shaft to protect the protuding co-axial pin. This cap must be left in place until the open array is fitted. The pedestal base is fitted with a seal: DO NOT grease this seal. WARNING: The open array scanner weighs: 48" scanner - 30 kg (66.2 lb); 72" scanner - 33.4 kg (73.7 lb). For safety reasons it is recommended that the unit is not lifted by one person. The unit is fitted with lifting eyes (maximum SWL 40 kg) to facilitate the use of standard lifting accessories, e.g. rope, chain or strop. The safe working load (SWL) of the lifting accessories should be 150 kg. Suitable lifting equipment could include a crane, hoist, or an appropriate rigid, overhead structure. Alternatively, the unit is suitable for a two person lift. Care must be taken to ensure that each person is standing on a stable surface, and that the pedestal is held carefully to ensure it cannot slip. The T-bar beneath the open array antenna can be used to aid lifting. You should never lift the scanner by holding onto the open array antenna.
Securing the pedestal to the mounting platform
1. Using the paper template supplied with the scanner mounting kit, mark the flat mounting surface with the holes and drill as indicated on the template. Refer to Section 1.2 when selecting the scanner unit site. 2. Stick the four self-adhesive bitumen washers over the mounting holes. 3. Ensure the lifting eyes are securely fitted to the top of the pedestal, and the yellow protective cap is in place. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the internal mounting bar, ensure the stud penetration is no more than 32 mm into the pedestal base. We recommend you mark each stud with tape, 32 mm from one end, to act as a gauge. 4. Grease the studs with Denso paste (supplied). Using two nuts locked together on the stud, screw each stud into the pedestal to a maximum of 32 mm, or until they bottom out. Remove these two nuts.
Note: If the studding supplied is not long enough, use M10 stainless steel, grade A4-70 studding of a suitable length. Refer to the following illustration for details.
5. Using suitable lifting equipment, raise the pedestal over the mounting surface. Carefully lower into position, taking care that the studs pass through the holes without damaging the threads. Ensure that the cable inlet is pointing aft. WARNING: Support the pedestal unit until it has been secured to the mounting platform. It is important that all four sets of nuts and washers are used to secure the pedestal to the mounting platform. 6. Referring to the following illustration, use the four nuts and associated washers supplied to secure the pedestal. Tighten the nuts to 30 Nm (22.1 lb ft.); ensure the scanner is tightly fitted. Grease the nuts with Denso paste (supplied). If required, cut-off any excess stud.

Connecting the open array scanner cable
CAUTION: Before wiring the scanner unit check that it is securely mounted to the platform, then make sure that the inter-unit cable is not connected and power is not applied to the display unit. The scanner switch must be in the OFF position.
Note: Connection of the Pathfinder inter-unit cable and the C-series split pedestal cable is

identical.

1. Loosen the four self-retaining bolts securing the pedestal lid to the base. Pullup and turn the bolts anti-clockwise to lock them in the upright position. Remove the lifting eyes.
Note: It is important to remove lifting eyes to avoid corrosion. Retain the lifting eyes: they
will be required if the scanner is removed from its platform.
2. Open the pedestal lid. Ensure the securing stay has automatically locked into position. 3. Referring to the following illustration, remove the cable gland nut, washer and grommet from the watertight gland, where the cable will enter the base. 4. Slide the cable through the gland nut, washer and grommet, then into the base. Carefully remove the heat shrink shroud, ensuring that you do not damage the cable.
31 5. Ensure the exposed braid is positioned in they p-clip to provide an earth, then clamp securely into position. Secure the cable at the entrance to pedestal base using the plastic cable clamp. Hand tighten the cable gland nut.
