shown in the figure below.
7. Reattach the cable cover.
8. Connect the LAN connector of the power/LAN cable to a LAN port on the FURU-
NO Multi Function Display or Ethernet HUB.
Note: Do not connect the LAN connector to on-board LAN.
9. Connect the power wires to the ship’s battery (24 VDC).
• Red wire: Connect to the positive terminal. The red wire has the fuse holder.
• Blue wire: Connect to the negative terminal.
• Black wire: The black wire is a shielding wire for grounding.
Note 1: The antenna unit has no power switch. Connect the antenna unit to a dis-
tribution switchboard with a switch for power control.
Note 2: If the voltage of the ship’s battery is 12 VDC, prepare a DC-to-DC con-
verter whose output current is 10 A or more.
Note 3: The antenna unit cannot accept the input voltage more than 24 VDC.

2. INITIAL SETUP
The DRS6A X-Class is compatible with the FURUNO Multi Function Display shown
below. The combination with other models may not operate properly.
• NavNet TZtouch: TZT9, TZT14, TZTBB
• NavNet TZtouch2: TZTL12F, TZTL15F
Turn on the antenna unit and FURUNO Multi Function Display, and do the initial setup
for the antenna unit on the FURUNO Multi Function Display.
2.1 Initial Setup for TZT9/TZT14/TZTBB
1. Press the Home key (or tap the Home icon).
2. Select [Menu] on the menu icon bar to open the main menu.
3. Select [Radar].
4. Select [Radar Source] on the [Menu Radar] sub menus, then select the radar type
connected.
Note: If the antenna unit is connected but does not appear in the [Radar Source]
list, close the list and open it again. The name of the antenna unit should appear
with a check mark, as in the example below.
Before turning on the radar, be sure
no one is near the antenna.
Prevent the potential risk of being
struck by the rotating antenna, which
can result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
WARNING
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.
Distances at which RF radiation levels
of 100, 50 and 10 W/m2 exist are given
in the table below.

How to align the antenna heading
You have mounted the antenna unit 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 bearing error on the display because
of the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The follow-
ing adjustment will compensate for the error.
1. Select a range between 0.125 and 0.25 NM and set the mode to “head up“.
You can select a range by a pinch action. The range and range ring interval ap-
pear at the bottom left of the screen.
For TZTBB, you can also control the range in the operation as follows. Tap the
radar scale box at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to display the slider
bar. Drag the circle icon to set the range scale.
2. Turn the vessel’s bow toward a target.
3. Press the Home key (or tap the Home icon), then select [Menu] icon, [Radar], and
[Antenna Heading Align] in that order to show the numeric software keyboard.
4. Key in the offset value so that the target is at the very top of the screen (setting
range: +/- 0° to 180°, +: clockwise direction, -: counterclockwise direction), then
tap [Save].
5. Confirm that the target echo is displayed at correct bearing on the screen.

3. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE
SHOOTING
Periodic checks and maintenance are important for proper operation of any electronic
system. This chapter contains maintenance and troubleshooting instructions to be fol-
lowed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment.
Before attempting any maintenance or troubleshooting procedure please review the
safety information below and at the front of this manual. If you cannot restore normal
operation after following the troubleshooting procedures, do not attempt to check in-
side any unit; there are no user serviceable parts inside. Contact your dealer to check
the equipment.
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.
WARNING NOTICE
Do not open the equipment.
Hazardous voltage which can
cause electrical shock exists
inside the equipment. Only
qualified personnel should work
inside the equipment.
Turn off the antenna unit
before servicing the unit.
Post a warning sign near the
switch indicating it should
not be turned on while the
antenna unit is being
serviced.
Prevent the potential risk of
being struck by the rotating
antenna.
A transmitting radar antenna
emits electromagnetic waves,
which can be harmful,
particularly the eyes.
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.
3. MAINTENANCE, TROUBLE SHOOTING
19
3.1 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important for good performance. Check the points mentioned
below every 3 to 6 months to keep the antenna unit in good working order.
3.2 Troubleshooting
The table below provides simple troubleshooting procedures to restore normal opera-
tion. If you cannot restore normal operation, contact your dealer for advice.
Check point Action Remedy, remarks
Cable Check that all cables are firmly
connected and are not damaged.
• Connect a cable if it has loosened.
• Replace damaged cables.
Exposed
bolts and nuts
Check that bolts and nuts are
corroded and are securely fas-
tened.
• Replace corroded bolts.
• Tighten loosened bolts.
• Coat new bolts with marine sealant.
Radiator Dust, dirt and salt deposits on
the radiator cause signal attenu-
ation, resulting in loss of sensitiv-
ity.
• Wipe radiator with a freshwater-
moistened cloth.
• The radiator is made of fiberglass
reinforced plastic. Therefore, do not
used gasoline, benzene and the like
to clean the radiator.
• If the radiator is iced, use a wooden
or plastic headed hammer to re-
move the ice. DO NOT use a steel
hammer.
Ground con-
nection
Check for tight connection and
rust.
• Fasten if loosened.
• Remove rust if present.
Problem Remedy
The multi function display can-
not control the radar.
• Check that all cables are tightly fastened.
• Check if the radar source setting is correct.
• Check if the fuse of the power/LAN cable has
blown.
• Check that the power supply is compatible with the
voltage rating of the antenna unit (24 VDC).
Marks and characters appear,
but echoes do not appear.
• Check that the antenna cable is tightly fastened.
• Check the cables for damage.
Picture is not updated or the
picture freezes.
• Check that all cables are tightly fastened.
• Check the cables for damage.
• If the picture has frozen, reboot the multi function
display.
You tuned the receiver or in-
crease the gain, but radar
echoes are too week.
• The life span of the magnetron is over. Contact your
dealer to check the magnetron.
You changed the range, but the
radar picture does not change.
• Try to change the range again.
• Reboot the multi function display.
Poor discrimination in range. • Adjust the sea control.
Range rings are not displayed. • Check if the range rings is turned on in the menu.
You set the radar in the transmit
state. The "TX screen" appears
momentarily, but the radar soon
goes into stand-by.
• The overload protection has activated. To restore
normal operation, turn off all equipment in the net-
work. Wait a few seconds then turn on all the equip-
ment.

3.3 Replacement of Fuse
The 5 A fuse (Type: FRU-2P5S-FU-5A-B, Code No.: 000-168-869-10) in the fuse
holder on the power/LAN cable protects the antenna unit from overcurrent and equip-
ment fault. If you cannot turn on the power, check the fuse to see if it has blown. If the
fuse has blown, find the reason before you replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again
after the replacement, contact your dealer for advice.
3.4 Life of Parts
Magnetron
When a magnetron reaches the end of its life, targets do not appear on the display. If
long-range performance appears to have declined, contact your dealer about replace-
ment of the magnetron.
Antenna Motor
When an antenna motor reaches the end of its life, the antenna’s rotation may stop or
abnormal noise sounds from the antenna unit. If such symptom occurs, contact your
dealer about replacement of the antenna motor.
