2 GMR 600/1200 Series Installation InstructionsSelecting a LocationWhen selecting a location to install the GMR 600/1200 series radar, consider the following:An ideal mounting location is high above the keel line of the ship with a minimal part of the structure or rigging blocking the radar beam. Obstructions in the path of the radar beam may cause blind and shadow sectors, or generate false echoes. The higher the installation position, the farther the radar can detect targets. Avoid mounting on the same level as smoke stacks, horizontal spreaders, or crosstrees on a mast. Do not install the radar near heat sources where it may be exposed to smoke or hot air from smoke stacks or heat from lights.The mounting surface or platform should be sturdy enough to support the weight of the radar and any inertial forces, as at as possible, and parallel with the water line. Garmin recommends mounting the radar out of range of personnel (horizontal beam width above head height). When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar conforms to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.IEC 60936-1 clause 3-27.1 states maximum distances from the antenna at which Radio Frequency (RF) levels can be expected.GMR 604 (100W/m squared = 67 in. [1.7 m]) (10W/m squared = 217 in. [5.5 m])GMR 606 (100W/m squared = 79 in. [2 m]) (10W/m squared = 244 in. [6.2 m])GMR 1204 (100W/m squared = 99 in. [2.5 m]) (10W/m squared = 307 in. [7.8 m])GMR 1206 (100W/m squared = 111 in. [2.8 m]) (10W/m squared = 343 in. [8.7 m]) When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the antenna at close range (the eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy). A compass safe distance must be maintained between the compass and the radar. The compass safe distance is measured from the center point of the compass to the nearest point on the radar.Standard compass = 35 7/15 in. (90 cm)Standby Steering and Emergency compasses = 31 1/2 in. (80 cm)Mount other electronics and cables more than 7 ft. (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can spread 25° vertically above and below the radiating element of the radar. For vessels with higher bow angles at cruise speed,you can lower the angle so that the beam points slightly downward to the waterline while at rest. Shims may be used as necessary.Install the radar away from antennas or other electronics. GPS antennas should be located above or below the radar beam path of the radar. Mount at least 3 ft. (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals, such as VHF radios, cables, and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 ft. (2 m). 12.5°12.5°12.5°12.5°•••••◦◦◦◦•◦◦••
GMR 600/1200 Series Installation Instructions 3Installing the Mounting Studs and Seals1. Remove the hatch on the front of pedestal by loosening the screw and lifting the hatch off of the hinges as shown in Figure 1.2. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench, to install the M10 x 71 mounting studs (Figure 2) in the pedestal matching the hole pattern that was selected. Tighten the mounting studs until they bottom out in the pedestal. Do not overtighten the studs to avoid damaging the pedestal. The mounting studs have a thread-locking patch applied at the factory. Optional: Apply moisture-inhibitive grease or paste to the four studs prior to installation.3. Install the seals onto the pedestal (Figure 3).Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3Mounting the RadarMount the radar with either end pointed toward the bow. Ensure it is mounted along the Bow-Stern Axis line indicated on the GMR 400/600/1200 Series Mounting Template. If the end with the hatch is pointed toward the bow, the Front of Boat Offset setting on the chartplotter must be set to 180° (Figure 4). To adjust the Front of Boat Offset on the chartplotter, see page 7.To mount the radar:1. (Skip to step two if you are using a pre-drilled Garmin compatible Furuno® or Raymarine® mount.) Determine a suitable mounting location and tape the Mounting Template in place. The Mounting Template has two hole patterns: Option A and Option B. Determine the most appropriate patterns from the two patterns available on the Mounting Template (Option A or Option B). Use a 1/2 in. (13 mm) bit to drill the four mounting holes. 2. Hoist the radar into position using the supplied strap. Position the strap over the ends of the antenna mount as shown in Figure 5. Ensure that you position the strap as close to the radar as possible.3. FastentheradartothemountingsurfaceusingtheM10hexnuts,springwashers,andatwashersintheordershowninFigure6.TheM10nuts should be torqued to 130 lbf-in (11 lbf-ft) (1.5 kgf-m).

Verify that the antenna wave guide is aligned with the pedestal wave guide. Slide the antenna onto the pedestal.3. Secure the antenna to the pedestal using the 8 mm hex bolts and spring washers. The 8 mm bolts should be torqued to 70 lbf-in (6 lbf-ft) (.81 kgf-m).Installing the Voltage Converter UnitThe included voltage converter unit is needed to supply a specic constant voltage to the radar. When installing the voltage converter unit, consider the following:The voltage converter requires an input voltage of 10–40 Vdc (20–40 Vdc for the GMR 1204 and GMR 1206).You must connect the converter to the boat battery through a 15 A slow-blow fuse. Garmin recommends that you install the voltage converter as close as possible to the selected power source.For optimal performance, connect the voltage converter housing to the RF ground of the vessel.If the input wires need to be extended, follow the recommendations in the wire gauge table.If the wires are extended, use the supplied heat-shrink butt connectors.After the connector is crimped, heat the connector to shrink it and provide a water resistant t.Voltage Converter Unit+-15 A slow-blow fuseTo radar To RF groundTo power10–40 Vdc(20–40 Vdc for the GMR 1204 and 1206)GMR 600/1200 series Voltage Converter Unit Sample boat fuse blockConnecting the Voltage Converter to a Boat Fuse BlockInstalling the Power and Network CablesRoute the cable as needed, based on the type of mount you are using.When installing the power and network cables, consider the following:To ensure safety, use the appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant to secure the cable along a route and through any bulkhead or deck. Avoid running the cable near moving objects, high-heat sources, or through doorways and bilges. Avoid installing the cable next to or parallel to other cables, such as radio antenna lines or power cables. This is essential to avoid interference to or from other equipment. If this is not possible, shield the cable with metal conduit or a form of EMI shielding.You may need to drill a 1 1/4 in. (31.7 mm) hole for routing the power/network cable. Garmin provides a rubber cable grommet to cover the cable installation hole. The grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal. To waterproof the grommet, apply a marine sealant.You can purchase additional cable grommets through Garmin or a Garmin dealer.Use the optional eld-installable RJ-45 network connector (included) to create a custom-length Garmin Marine Network cable if needed (see page 8).•••••◦◦•••◦◦•Align the waveguide facesAntennaPedestalAlign the waveguide facesAntennaPedestalWire Gauge TableDistance Gauge9 ft. 10 in.
