In the USA The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-Cd and lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take the used batteries to a battery collection site according to local laws. Cd Ni-Cd Pb In the other countries There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can increase when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read these safety instructions before you operate or install the equipment. WARNING Indicates a condition that can cause death or serious injury if not avoided. CAUTION Indicates a condition that can cause minor or moderate injury if not avoided. Warning, Caution Prohibitive Action WARNING Mandatory Action WARNING Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard Do not open the equipment. The radar antenna sends the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy. This energy can be dangerous to you, especially your eyes. Do not look at the radiator or near the antenna when the antenna is rotating. The equipment uses high voltage that can cause electrical shock. Refer any repair work to a qualified technician. The distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 W/m2, 50 W/m2 and 10 W/m2 exist are shown in the table. Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, prevent the transmission in that area to protect passengers and crew from microwave radiation. Set the [Sector Blanks] in the [System] menu. Distance to 100 W/m2 point Distance to 50 W/m2 point Distance to 10 W/m2 point Worst case 1.1 m CAUTION Observe the following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass. Unit Display unit M1815 Antenna unit Standard Steering 0.45 m 0.30 m 1.70 m 1.05 m 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. If water leaks into the equipment or something is dropped into the equipment, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard. Fire or electrical shock can result. If the equipment is giving off smoke or fire, immediately turn off the power at the switchboard. Fire or electrical shock can result. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. Fire, electrical shock or serious injury can result. Do not place operate the equipment with wet hands. Electrical shock can result. ii SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION WARNING Usethe correct fuse. The guard zone alarm is an effective aid to anti-collison. Use of a wrong fuse can result in fire or damage to the equipment. Its use does not relieve the operator of the responsibility to keep a vigilant watch on his or her surroundings. Do not place liquid-filled containers on the equipment. The data presented by this equipment is intended as a source of navigation information. Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquid spills into the equipment. The prudent navigator never relies exclusively on any one source of navigation information, for safety of vessel and crew. TT safety information CAUTION CAUTIO WARNING The TT function is a valuable aid to navigation. However, the navigator must check all aids available to avoid collision. - The TT automatically tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating them with a vector. Since the data generated by the TT depends on the selected radar targets, the radar must be optimally tuned for use with the TT, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unnecessary targets, like sea returns and noise, will not be acquired and tracked. - A target is not always a landmass, reef, ship, but can also be returns from the sea surface and from clutter. As the level of clutter changes with the environment, the operator must correctly adjust the sea and rain clutter controls and the gain control so that the target echoes do not disappear from the radar screen. The plotting accuracy and response of this TT meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following: • Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) • The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is approx. 15-30 seconds for the higher relative speed; approx. 30-60 seconds for the lower relative speed. The following factors can affect accuracy: - Echo intensity - Radar transmission pulse length - Radar bearing error - Gyrocompass error - Course change (own ship and targets) iii SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Warning Label(s) Warning label(s) is(are) attached to the equipment. Do not remove the label(s). If a label is missing or damaged, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer about replacement. WARNING To avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. WARNING Radiation hazard. Only qualified personnel should work inside scanner. Confirm that TX has stopped before opening scanner.

Organic solvents can harm paint and plastic, particularly the connectors. The display unit can be installed on a desktop or flush mounted in a console. Do not install the unit on the overhead or a bulkhead. Select a suitable location for the unit considering the following points: • • • • • • • Select a location where the controls can be easily operated. Locate the unit away from the direct wind from air conditioners. The temperature range in the mounting location should be -15°C(5°F to 55°C(131°F). Locate the unit away from devices that emit active gas. The mounting location must be well ventilated. Select a location where vibration and shock are minimal. A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the safety instructions to prevent interference to the compass. • Locate the unit away from direct sunlight to prevent heat build up inside the cabinet and condensation in the display. • Keep the unit away from water and water splash. (The unit complies with waterproofing specification IP5.) Desktop mount Fasten the unit to the mounting location as shown below. For mounting dimensions, see the outline drawing at the back of this manual. 1-1 1. INSTALLATION 1. Fix the bracket assembly to a desktop with four self-tapping screws (525, supplied). Be sure to follow the recommended maintenance space show in the outline drawing. Insufficient space may damage to the connectors when disconnecting and reconnecting them. 2. Loosely screw knob into the bracket assembly. 3. Set the display unit to the bracket assembly. 4. Tighten the knob to fix the display unit. 5. Adjust the angle of the display unit for comfortable viewing angle. Note: Do not tilt the unit 90-degree backward or forward. The cable connector may be damaged if it contacts the bracket. 6. Attach the hard cover to the display unit to protect the unit when it is not in use. Flush mount (in a console) Select a flat mounting location and install the unit as shown below. It is recommended to set up a dedicated breaker when flush mounting the unit, since it will be difficult to disconnect cables. 1.

Screw Hanger cover Cover sponge 3. Set the flush mounting sponge (supplied) to the display unit. 4. Screw four threaded rods (supplied) to the display unit. 5. Set the display unit to the cutout. 6. Fasten the display unit from behind with four sets of flat washers, spring washers and wing nuts (supplied). 1-2 1. INSTALLATION 1.3 How to Install the Antenna Unit Select a mounting location for the antenna unit considering the following points. • Install the unit on a common mast, radar mast. etc. • Install the antenna unit on a solid location, for example radar arch or on a mast on a platform. (For sailboats, a mounting bracket is optionally available.) You must put the antenna unit where there is a good complete view. Make sure that no part of the superstructure is within the scanning beam. Any obstruction causes shadow sectors. For example, a mast with a diameter smaller than the horizontal beam width causes only a small blind sector. A horizontal spreader or crosstrees in the same horizontal plane creates a large obstruction. Install the antenna unit above a horizontal spreader or crosstrees. Horizontal beam width 12.5° 12.5° Rear view Rear view Rear view Antenna Mounting on a sailboat Antenna Mounting on a power boat • To avoid electrical interference, do not run the antenna cable near other electrical equipment. Also do not run the cable in parallel to power cables. • Do not install the unit where its motor noise may affect crew or passengers. • As much as possible install the unit on the ship’s centerline, to prevent misplacement of echoes (wrong bearing) on the display. • Make sure the mounting location does not allow water to accumulate at the mounting platform. • A magnetic compass will be affected if the display unit is placed too close to the compass. Observe the compass safe distances in the safety instructions to prevent interference to the compass. • Do not paint the radome. • Be sure to follow the recommended maintenance space shown in the outline drawing at the back of this manual. • If the unit is installed on a large vessel observe the following points. • The antenna cable comes in lengths of 10, 15 and 20 m. Consider the length of the cable when selecting a mounting location. 1-3 1. INSTALLATION • Keep the unit away from smoke and exhaust stacks. Hot air affects antenna performance. Hot air can also damage the unit. The temperature at the mounting location should not exceed 55°C(131°F) Tools and materials for mounting Name Electric drill Hexagonal wrench Usage Drill holes for mounting. Drill bit: 11 mm Fastening bolts: Diagonal: 6 mm How to mount the antenna unit Stern Power cable (1.4 m) Bow Align bow mark (▲) on antenna with ship’s centerline.
