EMC Installation Guidelines
Humminbird equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect such
interference could have on the performance of your system.
Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.
NOTE: In areas of extreme EMC interference, some slight interference may be noticed on the product.
Where this occurs the product and the source of the interference should be separated by a greater distance.
For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that wherever possible:
• Humminbird equipment and cables connected to it are:
– At least 3 feet (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 feet
(2 m).
– More than 7 feet (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 product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to
prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate
battery.
• Humminbird specified cables are used.
• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
NOTE: Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations, always ensure
the maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the best
conditions for EMC performance throughout the installation.

5Installation 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.

ation
CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 5
Centerline
The scanner unit should be mounted on the centerline of your boat in a location that has an unobstructed
view forward and is as clear as possible the rest of the way around the unit.
Height
Choose a location as high as practical to improve maximum range, but not so high as to be adversely affected
by the vessel’s pitching and rolling. Also, keep in mind that minimum range objects may be overlooked if
mounted too high.
Unobstructed View
Position the Radar scanner forward of large structures and exhaust stacks. Contamination from engine
exhaust on the scanner housing reduces radar performance.
• Antennas for GPS, radio communication, or other equipment should not be located in the radar
beam.
• Use non-metallic extension poles to move the active area of antennas above the radar beam.
Blind Spots, Shadow Areas, and False Echoes: Large structures or stacks may cause blind spots and/or
false echoes.
• Wet sails may also cause shadow areas, so Radar performance may be reduced in the rain.
• If you mount the Radar scanner on a mast, echoes from other targets may be reflected from the mast.
• It is particularly important to avoid shadow areas near the bow.
• In shadow areas beyond the obstruction, there will be a reduction of the beam intensity. There may
be a blind sector if the beam intensity is not sufficient to obtain an echo from an object. This may
occur even at close range. For this reason, the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow area
must be determined at installation.
•Identifying shadow areas and/or false echoes on the control head: For example, adjust the
settings on your control head to view sea clutter. Dark sectors on the Radar display indicate possible
shadowed areas. See your control head operations manual for more information.

Potential Interference
For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that wherever possible:
• Humminbird equipment and cables connected to it are:
– At least 3 feet (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 feet
(2 m).
– More than 7 feet (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed
to spread 20° above and below the radiating element.
•The Radar scanner must be supplied from a separate power source from that used for engine start.
This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does
not have a separate battery or fuse panel.
Mounting Surface
The mounting surface must be flat, stable, and approximately parallel with the boat’s waterline.
•Surface Thickness: If the mounting surface is thin, a doubler should be added. If the mounting
surface is thick, longer bolts must be purchased separately.
•Surface Angle: The Radar beam from the Radar scanner is approximately 20° wide in the vertical
direction to give good target detection even when your vessel pitches and rolls.
Planing hull vessels, and some displacement hull vessels, adopt a higher bow angle when the vessel
is at cruising speed. This may raise the Radar’s main radiation angle, and can cause poor detection
of nearby targets. It may be necessary to compensate for the bow rise to ensure optimum target
detection. This can be achieved by fitting a wedge or washers between the mounting platform and
the base of the Radar scanner, so that the Radar beam remains parallel to the water line when the
vessel's bow rises at cruising speed.
CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 7
Mounting Base
The Radar scanner can be installed directly to a roof or other flat surface. The mounting location must be
secure enough to support the Radar scanner under seagoing conditions. You can also use a mounting
bracket (separate purchase required). Be certain to keep the water drain tube clear, which is located at the
bottom of the scanner unit.
NOTE: If the mounting bracket or surface has a curvature of more than 5/64" (2 mm), use spacers with the
mounting bolts to prevent stress on the scanner housing.
Access
Access to the under side is required for installation of the mounting bolts.

Sailing Vessels
Additional considerations apply when installing the Radar scanner on a sailing vessel. A separate purchase
mast mounting bracket is highly recommended.
Review the following important mounting requirements:
• When mounting the Radar scanner onto the mast, check that the unit is not fouled by the sails,
especially when tacking.
• Depending on the type of sailing vessel and the design of the sailplan, a Radar scanner guard
(separate purchase required) should be attached to the mast if the sails or rigging contact either the
Radar scanner unit or the mounting bracket (separate purchase required). See the illustration
Example of a Radar Guard Installation.
WARNING! Without a proper Radar guard, serious damage can result to the Radar mounting
bracket and the Radar scanner itself. In extreme cases, such damage could result in the Radar scanner
unit being pulled off the mast. Therefore, it is recommended that a Radar scanner guard should be
mounted additionally and separately to the Radar scanner mounting bracket.
• To prevent the risk of the Radar scanner falling after it has been damaged, the security lanyard
supplied with the mast bracket (separate purchase required) must be secured properly to the mast

Multiple Radar Installation
It is important to note that multiple radars cannot be connected to the same network. If you are installing
more than one radar on the same vessel, review the following important location requirements:
• Scanners should be mounted above each other, and vertically separated by at least 1.6 ft (0.5 m).
This applies to all installation locations on the vessel.
• Multiple scanners should be mounted in a way that minimizes interference between the vertical
beamwidths of the 2 scanners.
• To minimize any potential interference, mount the scanners with as much physical separation as
possible.

3. Test Route the Cables
Using the information in this section, test route the cables from the planned mounting location to the control
head or Ethernet Switch location and the power source. Cables must be routed correctly to maximize
performance and prolong cable life. See Connect to Power and Ethernet for more information.
CIRCUIT ISOLATION WARNING! Proper circuit isolation is required for installations using both
AC and DC current. If you are installing a 3rd party product that utilizes AC current, contact a qualified
marine installer for assistance.
CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded. If
cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of the
connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware or
automotive store.
Avoid Cable Bending
Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a minimum
bend radius of 4" (100 mm).
Strain Relief
Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors from strain and ensure they will not pull out
under extreme sea conditions.
Cable Protection
Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat. Use trunking or conduit where possible.
• Do NOT run cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertight feed-
through.
• Route data cables away from other equipment and cables, high current carrying AC and DC power
lines, and antennae.
• Secure cables in place using cable ties or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way.
•Cable Shielding: Ensure that all data cables are properly shielded and that the cable shielding is
intact (e.g. hasn’t been scraped off by being squeezed through a tight area).

CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1 8/11/16 10:48 AM Page 17
6. Connect to Power and Ethernet
The power cable must be connected to a separate 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source other than that used for
engine start. Use the instructions in this section to connect the power cable to a battery or fuse panel, and
the data cable to the Humminbird control head or Ethernet Switch.
WARNING: GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED! The Radar scanner power cable is fully insulated and
does not require separate grounding.
WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The Radar scanner
must have adequate protection through the proper selection and installation of circuit protection (i.e. fuse,
thermal breaker, etc.).
CAUTION! Only use the power cable supplied with your product. Do not use a power cable designed for,
or supplied with, a different product.
1. Determine Your Fuse and Thermal Breaker Requirement
Ideally, all equipment should be wired to individual suitably-rated thermal breakers or fuses to provide
appropriate circuit protection. Where this is not possible and more than one (1) product shares a breaker,
use individual in-line fuses for each power circuit to provide the necessary protection.
The following in-line fuse and thermal breaker ratings apply to your product:
•In-line fuse rating: 5 Amp
•Thermal breaker rating: 3 Amp (if only connecting one device)
NOTE: The suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is dependent on the number of devices you are
connecting.

2. Connect to Power
The power cable can be connected to a fuse panel (usually located near the console) or to a battery. The
power cable for each unit in your system should be run as a separate, single length of 2-wire cable from
the unit to the vessel’s battery or fuse panel. Review the following information before connecting the
included power cable to the power supply:
• You may shorten or lengthen the power cable using a minimum wire gauge of 14 AWG (2.08 mm²).
You must also ensure there is a continuous suitable operating voltage at the product’s power
connector.
• The following power density levels do NOT occur at any point: 10 W/m2, 100 W/m2
NOTE: The power cable can also be connected to a factory-fitted power distribution point. The distribution
point should be fed from the vessel’s primary power source by a minimum 8 AWG (8.36 mm²) cable.
1. Route the power cable to the fuse panel or battery (12 VDC or 24 VDC
required). Make sure that the data cable connector can reach the
control head or Ethernet Switch location.
Fuse Terminal Connection
2a. Use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not included) that match
the terminal on the fuse panel. Attach the black wire to ground (–),
and the red wire to positive (+) 12 VDC or 24 VDC power. Install a 5
Amp fuse (not included) for protection of the unit.
OR
Battery Switch Connection
2b. Install the battery switch (not included) using the instructions
provided with it. You will also need to install an inline fuse holder
and a 5 Amp fuse (not included) for protection of the unit. Attach the
black wire to (–) ground, and the red wire to (+) 12 VDC or 24 VDC
power.
NOTE: The in-line fuse rating for the power cable is 5 Amp. The
thermal breaker rating is 3 Amp (if only connecting one device).
The suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is dependent on
the number of devices you connect.
