1. OPERATION
1.1 System Overview
The radar sensor transmits pulses of micro-
wave energy that bounce off any object in
their path. The object returns a tiny part of the
wave's energy to the radar sensor. Radar de-
termines the distance to a target by calculat-
ing the time difference between the trans-
mission of a radar signal and the reception of
the reflected echo. The bearing to a target
found by the radar is determined by the direc-
tion in which the antenna is pointing when it
emits an electronic pulse and then receives a
returning echo.
The radar sensor forwards the returning ech-
oes to the iOS terminal (iPhone, iPad), using
its wireless LAN module. The radar applica-
tion in the iOS terminal displays the radar ech-
oes on the terminal’s display and provides
controls for adjustment of the radar picture.
1.2 How to Start, Stop
the System
Power the radar sensor to acti-
vate the system. Open your iPad
or iPhone terminal and click the
[Marine Radar] application icon
(see right figure).
The splash screen appears for a few mo-
ments, then the application tries to connect to
the radar sensor, which normally takes no
more than three seconds. If the connection is
successful, the [Preheating] display appears.
If the connection
failed, the window
shown right appears.
Tap the [Search
again] button to try to
connect to the radar
sensor. If you cannot connect to the radar
sensor, check for interfering objects near the
sensor and make sure the wireless LAN func-
tion is enabled on your terminal.
The preheating stage, which warms the mag-
netron (the device responsible for transmitting
radar pulses), takes approx. 90 seconds. The
time remaining until the completion of the pre-
heating is counted down at the center of the
screen. After the completion of the preheat-
ing, the STBY display appears.
To deactivate the system, disconnect the ra-
dar sensor from the power source.
Note: To connect an iOS terminal to another
DRS4W, reset the application first.

contain solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts.
• The radar sensor has no power switch. Therefore, it is recommended that you connect the sensor
to a disconnecting device (circuit breaker, etc.) to control the power.
Sensor placement:
• The radar sensor uses the 2.4 GHz wireless LAN radio band to forward radar echoes to the iOS
terminal. Separate the sensor well away from products which also use this band (microwave
range, Bluetooth devices, etc.) to prevent mutual interference.
• Install the radar sensor on the hardtop, radar arch or on a mast on an appropriate platform. (For
sailboats, a “radome mount” is optionally available for fixing the sensor to a mast.) Place the sen-
sor where there is a good all-round view with, as far as possible, no part of the ship’s superstruc-
ture or rigging intercepting the scanning beam. Any obstruction will cause shadow and blind
sectors. Be sure there are no metallic objects near the antenna. See the next page for typical
placement on a sailboat and powerboat.
• Observe the wireless LAN communication range noted in the illustration on the next page.
• In order to reduce the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing
the power cable near other electrical equipment onboard. Also, avoid running the cable in parallel
with other power cables.
• Select a location that does not allow water to accumulate at the base of the sensor.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the radar sensor is too close to the compass. Observe the
compass safe distances mentioned on page ii to prevent interference to a magnetic compass.

3.3 How to Install the
Radar Sensor
Determine the suitability of the mounting loca-
tion BEFORE permanently mounting the sen-
sor. Incoming and outgoing signals may
overlap one another depending on the shape
of the vessel, preventing communication be-
tween the terminal and the sensor. Set the
sensor on the selected location and connect
the sensor to the power source. Turn on the
sensor. Open the terminal, turn on the radar
application and try to connect the terminal to
the sensor (see section 3.4.1 for how to start
the system). If the connection is successful,
change the range to check if the sensor re-
ceives your command. Check that the picture
is updated with each sweep. Some trial and
error may be necessary to find a suitable loca-
tion.
Installation on a platform
1. Remove the mounting hardware at the
bottom of the radar sensor - four each of
hex bolts (M10×20), spring washers and
flat washers. Save the spring washers
and flat washers to use them to fasten the
radar sensor to the platform, at step 4. If
the thickness of the platform is 5 mm or
less, also save the bolts.

2. Construct a platform (steel or aluminum)
referring to the outline drawing and the
mounting template. Fasten the platform to
the mounting location. The holes in the
platform must be parallel with the fore and
aft line.
3. Put the radar sensor on the platform with
the bow mark (U) on sensor aligned with
the bow.
4. Use hex bolts*, flat washers and spring
washers (removed at step 1) to fasten the
radar sensor to the platform. The torque
for the bolts must be 19.6 to 24.5 N•m.
*See the figure below to determine bolt
length to use.
5. Connect the supplied power cable to the
sensor. Observe the guidelines for laying
the power cable shown on this page.
6. Connect the power cable to the power
source.
Guidelines for laying the power cable
• The connectors must not strike any part of
the vessel by wind, etc.
• The load applied to the connectors must
not be more than its own weight.
• If the cable is passed through a mast on a
sailboat, be sure the cable does not touch
ropes (sheet, halyard, etc.).
• Do not fasten the cable to the hull.
• The cable must be fixed so no tension is ap-
plied to the connectors. To prevent tension,
create a loop in the cable close to the sen-
sor and tie the loop with cable ties, as in the
figure below.
• Wrap the junction of the connectors with
self vulcanizing tape for waterproofing.
• Fasten the cable to the mast, etc. at the
neck of each connector with a cable tie.

3.4 How to Set up the
Radar Sensor
Before you can set up and use the radar sen-
sor, download and install the free application
[Marine Radar] from the App Store. The appli-
cation is common to both the iPad and the
iPhone.
Set up the radar as shown in this section, in
the order given.
An insert sheet requests you to attach the
supplied SSID and password label to the in-
sert sheet. Attach the label to the sheet, and
store the sheet in a safe place for future refer-
ence.
3.4.1 How to start the system
Power the sensor. Open your iOS
terminal, then turn on the wireless
LAN function (in the [Settings]
menu) if it is not already on. Tap
the [Marine Radar] application
(see right figure, appearance subject to
change) in your terminal.
The splash screen appears for a few mo-
ments, then the application tries to connect to
the radar sensor, which normally takes no
more than three seconds. If the connection is
successful, the [Preheating] display appears.
If the connection could not be made, an error
message appears. Tap the [Search again]
button to try to connect to the sensor. If the
application cannot connect to the sensor,
check to see if the wireless LAN function is
enabled on your terminal.

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 diffi-
culty in achieving accurate initial positioning
of the sensor. The following adjustment com-
pensates for this error.
1. Open the menu, Picture menu:
1) iPad: Tap the menu tab at the bottom
right corner to open the menu.
iPhone: Tap anywhere to open the
menu.
2) iPad, iPhone: Tap the ( ) icon to
open the Picture menu.
2. Tap the menu navigation buttons ( )
to select [Heading Align].
3. Visually identify a suitable target (for ex-
ample, ship or buoy) at a range between
0.125 to 0.25 miles.
4. Point your boat’s bow directly toward the
target selected at step 3.
5. Locate the target selected at step 3 on the
display and choose a range which places
the target in the outer half of the picture.
6. Adjust the slider bar so the target be-
comes centered on the heading line.
Timing adjustment
The timing is automatically adjusted. Howev-
er, if a “straight” target (harbor wall, etc.) ap-
pears to be pushed or pulled, as shown
below, adjust the sweep timing to straighten
the target and prevent incorrect placement of
all targets.
1. Transmit on a range between 0.125 and
0.5 nm.
2. Open the Picture menu, referring to step
1 in “Heading alignment”.

5. Find a target which should be displayed
“straightly” (harbor wall, straight pier) on
the radar display.
6. While looking at the target selected at
step 5, operate the slider bar to straighten
the target.
7. Tap the display area to close the window.
3.4.3 Range unit
The range can be shown in nautical miles or
kilometers, and the default setting is nautical
miles. To change the unit, do as follows:
1. Open the Settings menu, referring to step
1 in “How to open the [Installation Set-
tings] menu” on page 15.
2. Tap [Initial Settings].
3. Tap [Units] then select range unit.
3.4.4 Tuning initialization
Tuning is automatically adjusted when the ra-
dar transmits, therefore initialization is not
necessary. (Initialization is necessary only
when the magnetron is replaced.)
3.4.5 Sector blank
A sector blank is an area on the radar display
where no radar echoes appear because an
obstruction near the radar sensor (for exam-
ple, a mast) blocks reception within that area.
This area should be marked on the display to
alert you that no echoes will be shown there.
If you do not have this problem, skip this pro-
cedure.
As an example, the procedure below shows
how to set a 20° sector blank between 170°
and 190°.
1. Open the Picture menu, referring to step
1 in “Heading alignment” on page 16.
2. Tap the item selection buttons ( ) to
select [Sector Blank].
3. Tap the [On] button.
4. At [Sector Start], drag the slider bar to set
the start bearing relative to the heading
line. (Use the or button to fine tune
the setting.) In the example, set “170”.
5. At [Sector Angle], drag the slider bar to
set the width of the sector. In the exam-
ple, set “20”.
The sector is marked on the display with
dashed green lines.
To disable the sector, tap [Off] at [Sector
Blank].
