DANGER
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
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 antenna
mast.
DANGER
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. Distances at
which RF radiation level of 100 W/m2, 50 W/m2 and 10 W/m2 are given in the table below.
If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may
require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. See the installation manual
for how to manage blind sectors.
The installer of the equipment must read the applicable safety instructions before attempting to install
the equipment.

1. INSTALLATION
1.1 Before Beginning the Installation...
Please read the instructions below before beginning the installation.
Do the installation following the instructions contained in this manual.
Be sure to do the installation setup (tuning, timing, heading alignment, etc.) in chap-
ter 3 after installing the equipment.
The cable names mentioned throughout this manual are JIS (Japan Industrial Stan-
dard) cables. If not available locally, see Appendix 1 for the equivalent cables.
The control unit cannot be mounted in a console - it is designed to be mounted on
a desktop.
See the table below for retrofit possibility. For use of the existing antenna cable of
FR-8125 or FR-8255, attachment of a connector (NH and VH) to the cable is nec-
essary. However, replacement of the cable is recommended.
The antenna cable for the FAR-1513/FAR-1523 has connectors at both its ends. If
the cable is to be passed through a bulkhead, do not remove the connectors (to
make it easier to pass the cable through the bulkhead). Make an opening in the
bulkhead large enough to pass the connectors.
Use only the specified power cable and fuse.
Connect the DC power specification processor unit to the ship’s mains via a break-
er.
Ground the AC power specification processor unit.
If the processor unit is to be installed near where water or rain splash may occur,
install the optional waterproofing kit, which provides waterproofing standard IPX2.
Do not install the unit in an area where water or rain splash exceeds the conditions
of IPX2.
Do not connect the radar to the ship’s onboard LAN.
Connect the drain wires of external equipment to the specified locations in the pro-
cessor unit to prevent noise.
Do not disassemble the equipment, to prevent electrical shock.
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts
of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating
and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.
In case of trouble consult with a FURUNO dealer.
This series of radars are supplied with or without (BB type) a monitor. The configu-
ration is identical otherwise.

1.2 Antenna Unit Installation Considerations
The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the ra-
dar mast, on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit in an elevated position to
permit maximum target visibility.
A line of sight from the antenna unit to the bow of the ship must hit the surface of
the sea in not more than 500 m or twice the ship’s length, depending whichever val-
ue is smaller, for all load and trim conditions.
Install the antenna unit so that any blind sectors caused by objects (mast, etc.) are
kept to a minimum. A blind sector must not exist in arc of the horizon from right
ahead to 22.5° aft of the beam to either side (see the figure below). Also, individual
blind sectors of more than 5° or the total arc of both blind sectors of more than 20°,
must not occur in the remaining arc (Figure 2). Note that any two blind sectors sep-
arated by 3° or less are regarded as one sector.
Do not install the antenna where extreme winds may strike the port and starboard
sides of the antenna.
Install the antenna unit away from interfering high-power energy sources and TX ra-
dio antennas.
Keep the following distance and angle between another radar antenna.
Keep the lower edge of the antenna unit above the safety rail by at least 500 mm.
less than 500 m or twice the ship's length

No funnel, mast or derrick shall be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna unit
in the bow direction, especially zero degree ±5° to prevent blind sectors and false
echoes on the radar picture.
It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all
directions is available. Therefore, determine the angular width and relative bearing
of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after
fitting.
Locate the antenna of an EPFS clear of the radar antenna to prevent interference
to the EPFS. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
A magnetic compass will be affected if the antenna unit is placed too close to the
compass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference
to a magnetic compass.
Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
Ground the antenna unit with the supplied ground wire.
Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can affect the aerial perfor-
mance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. Do not install the antenna unit
where the temperature is more than 55°.
Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the an-
tenna unit outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.
Note: For the IMO radar, please refer to IMO SN/Circ.271 "Guidelines for the installa-
tion of shipborne radar equipment".
1.3 How to Install the Antenna Unit for FAR-1518,
FAR-1528
1.3.1 How to fasten the radiator to the radiator bracket
The antenna unit consists of the antenna radiator and the antenna unit chassis, and
they are packed separately. Fasten the antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis
as shown below.
1. For the XN20AF, XN24AF, Attach two guide pins to the underside of the antenna
radiator.
2. Remove the waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.
3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive sealant as shown below.

1.3.2 How to mount the antenna unit
The antenna unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. How-
ever, do not lift the antenna unit by the radiator. Always lift the unit by its housing.
When using a crane or hoist, use the hoist rings which should be fastened to the bolt
fixing covers of the antenna housing.
1. Construct a suitable mounting platform referring to the outline drawing at the end
of this manual.
2. Drill four mounting holes of 15 mm diameter and one cable entry hole of about 50
mm diameter in the mounting platform.
3. Lay the rubber mat (supplied) on the mounting platform.
4. Place the antenna unit on the rubber mat, orienting the unit so the bow mark on
its base faces the ship’s bow.
To hoist antenna unit aboard vessel, attach ropes to lifting fixtures and hoist
unit with crane.
To remove load from radiator when hoisting, the length of the rope between
the radiator base and the hook must be at least 130 cm.
To keep the rope away from the radiator, turn the radiator and chassis
approx. 30 degrees as shown below.

1.5 Processor Unit
1.5.1 Mounting considerations
The processor unit can be mounted on a desktop or bulkhead. When selecting a
mounting location, keep in mind the following points.
Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat
that can build up inside the cabinet.
Locate the equipment away from places subject to water splash and rain.
Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables connected.
Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance.
(See the outline drawing at the back of this manual.)
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the processor unit. Ob-
serve the compass safe distances shown on page ii to prevent interference to a
magnetic compass.
1.5.2 How to mount the processor unit
Desktop installation
Fasten the unit with four bolts (M5, supplied) or self-tapping screws (520, local sup-
ply).
Note: If the installation must meet the waterproofing standard IPX2, use the processor
unit IPX2 kit. See paragraph 2.4.4 for details.
Bulkhead installation
Mark locations for four self-tapping screws if screws will be
used. Insert four M5 bolts (or self-tapping screws), leaving
approx. 5 mm of the bolts (screws) exposed. Hang the pro-
cessor unit on the four bolts (screws) inserted at step 2.
Tighten all bolts (screws).
Note: If the installation must meet the waterproofing stan-
dard IPX2, set the blind seal supplied with the processor unit
