SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
Do not open the equipment unless
totally familiar with electrical circuits
and service manual.
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic
radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never
look directly into the antenna aperture
from a close distance while the radar is in
operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Only qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Wear a safety belt and hard hat when
working on the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if
someone falls from the radar mast.
Distances at which RF radiation levels of
100 and 10 W/m2 exist are given in the
table below.
Construct a suitable service platform
from which to install the antennaunit.
Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a
closedistance in front of the wheel house,
your administration may require halt of
transmission within a certain sector of
antenna revolution. This is possible Ask your FURUNO representive or dealer
to provide this feature.
Serious injury or death can result if the
power is left on or is applied while the
equipment is being installed.
Turn off the power at the mains
switch-board before beginning the
installation.

MOUNTING
1.1
Mounting Considerations
• The radar sensor is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on
a suitable platform. Locate the radar sensor where there is a good all-round view. Any obstruction will cause shadow and blind sectors. A mast for instance, with a diameter considerably less
than the horizontal beamwidth of the radiator, will cause only a small blind sector, but a horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane as the radar sensor would be a much
more serious obstruction; you would need to place the radar sensor well above or below it.
• It is rarely possible to place the radar sensor where a completely clear view in all directions is
available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow
sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the radar sensor is placed too close to it. Observe the
compass safe distances mentioned in the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS to prevent interference to
a magnetic compass.
• Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emision of the radar waves.
• When this radar sensor is to be installed on large vessels, consider the following points:
• The signal cable run between the radar sensor and MFDBB, MFD8 or MFD12 comes in
lengths of 10 m, 15 m, 20 m and 30 m.
• Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The radar sensor must not be
mounted where the temperature is more than 70°C.
As shown in the figure below, the radar sensor may be installed on the bridge, on a common mast
or on the radar mast.

1. Unfasten four bolts from the cover to open the radar sensor.
2. Unplug the PCS connector from RF unit.
3. Separate upper chassis from lower chassis by removing two bolts (M8x25).
4. Remove RF unit by unfastening four hex bolts.

6. Fasten the lower chassis to the mounting platform with hex bolts, spring washers, flat washers
and nuts (local supply), and then coat flat washers, nuts and exposed parts of bolts with silicone sealant. Cut a slit in the rubber bushing and insert bolt into the bushing. Do not use seal
washers.
7. Remount RF unit.
8. Apply silicone sealant into four outside fixing holes.
9. Do steps 6-8 in “Using outside fixing holes of radar sensor”.
Note: When closing the cover, set the gaskets to grooves in the bottom chassis, then tighten bolts.
1.3
Mounting Procedure for DRS2D4D
1. Remove mounting hardware at the bottom of the radar sensor, four each of hex bolts
(M10x20), spring washers and flat washers. Save the spring washers and flat washers to use
them to fix the radome base to the platform, at step 3. If the thickness of the mounting platform
is 5 mm or less also save the bolts.

2. Construct a platform (wood, steel or aluminum) 6-10 mm in thickness referring to the outline
drawing at the back of this manual. (A mounting bracket for mounting the radar sensor on a
sailboat mast is optionally available.) Fasten the platform to the mounting location. Next, position the base so the cable entrance faces the stern direction.
Note: When drilling holes in the platform, be sure they are parallel with the fore and aft line.
3. Using the hex bolts*, flat washers and spring washers removed at step 1, fastgen the radome
base to the platform. The torque should be between 19.6-24.5NŒm.
*If the thickness of the platfoirm is 6-10 mm, use M10x25 bolts (supplied). For thicker platform,
use locally supplied bolts.

WIRING
Only the two-way cable MOD-ASW0001 runs from the MFDBB, MFD8, MFD12 or PSU-12 to the
radar sensor. In order to minimize the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where
possible routing the two-way cable near other onboard electrical equipment. Pass the cable
through the hole in the radar sensor and apply sealing compound around the hole for waterproofing.
2.1
Wiring of DRS4A/6A
1. Open the radar sensor cover by loosening four bolts, and fix the stay.

Bolt
2. Unfasten the cable gland assembly (plate and gasket).
3. Pass the two-way cable MOD-ASW0001 through the bottom.
4. Fasten the shield of the cable with the cable clamp in the radar sensor, and then connect the
connector of power cable to the power terminal (white: +, black: -).
5. Attach the RJ-45 connector of the two-way cable to the LAN terminal in the radar sensor.

6. Push cables of the two-way cable into the slits of the gasket inside the radar sensor as below.
7. Push the gasket into the hole at the bottom of the radar sensor, then fasten four pan head
screws to fix the plate to the sensor.
8. Release the stay and close the cover.
Note: When closing the cover, set the gaskets to grooves in the bottom chassis, then tigten bolts.

Note 2: If the two-way cable meets to the platform near the radar sensor base, wind vinyl tape
around cable at the bending location.
6. Confirm that the rubber gasket is properly positioned and that the triangle mark on the cover is
aligned with the triangle mark on the mounting base, then tighten the fixing screws for the
cover.

ADJUSTMENT
This section provides the information necessary for setting and adjusting the radar sensor, which
is carried out from the menu.
3.1
Selecting Radar Source
1. Open the Radar Installation menu.
2. Choose “Radar Source” to show the menu options window.
3. Choose “DRS4A” or DRS6A” as applicable.
4. Close the Radar Source options window.
3.2
Heading Alignment
You have mounted the radar sensor facing straight ahead in the direction of the bow. Therefore,
a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear on the heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small error on the display because of the difficulty in
achieving accurate initial positioning of the radar sensor. The following adjustment wil compensate for this error.
1. Choose “Heading Alignment” from the menu.
2. Select a stationary target echo at a range between 0.125 and 0.25 nm, preferably near the
heading line.
3. Place the cursor on the indication “EBL 1” or “EBL 2” at the bottom left corner, and then press
the left-button key at the center of the cursorpad to show the EBL.
4. Rotate the RotoKey to bisect the target echo with the EBL.
5. Press the left-button key.
6. As a final test, move the boat towards a small buoy and confirm that the buoy shows up dead
ahead on the radar when it is visually dead ahead.
3.3
Setting the Antenna Height
1. Select “ANTENNA HEIGHT” from the menu.
2. Select the height of the radar sensor above the water surface.
