These items are available at most marine dealers.• It is highly recommended that the device is mounted out of range of personnel, with the horizontal beam width above head height.• The device should be mounted high above the ship’s keel line with minimal blockage between the vessel and the radar beam. Obstructions may cause blind and shadow sectors, or generate false echoes. The higher the installation position, the farther the radome can detect targets.• The device should be mounted on a flat surface or a platform that is parallel to the vessel's water line and is sturdy enough to support the device's weight. The weight for each model is listed in the product specifications.• Most beams spread vertically 12.5° above À and 12.5° below Á the device's radiating element. On vessels with higher bow angles at cruise speed, the installation angle can be lowered to point the beam slightly downward to the waterline while at rest. Use shims if necessary.• The unit has two mounting options when installed on a standard marine mount. One mounting option is closer to the October 2013 190-01656-02_0A Printed in Taiwan
DRAFTcenter of the unit Â, and the second option is offset towards the back à to allow for installation closer to a mast or structure.• The device should be mounted away from heat sources such as smoke stacks and lights.• The device should be mounted at a different level than horizontal spreaders and mast crosstrees.• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be mounted closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.• Other electronics and cables should be mounted more than 2 m (6 ½ ft.) from the radar beam path.• GPS antennas should be either above or below the radar beam path.• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) from any transmitting equipment.• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) away from cables carrying radio signals such as VHF radios, cables, and antennas.For Single Side Band (SSB) radios, increase the distance to 2 m (78 ¾ in.).Cable ConsiderationsIt may be necessary to drill 31.7 mm (1 ¼ in.) holes for routing the power or network cable. The provided rubber cable grommet can be used to cover a cable installation hole.• The grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal. To make the grommet waterproof, marine sealant must be applied.• Additional cable grommets can be purchased from Garmin or a Garmin dealer.When installing the power and network cables, you should observe these considerations.• Cutting the Garmin Marine Network cable is not recommended, but a field install kit can be purchased from Garmin or a Garmin dealer if cutting the network cable is necessary.• To ensure safety, appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and sealant should be used to secure the cable along the route and through any bulkheads or the deck.• Cables should not be run near moving objects and high-heat sources or through doorways and bilges.• To avoid interference with other equipment, power and network cables should not be run next to or parallel to other cables, such as radio antenna lines or power cables. If this is not possible, the cables should be shielded with metal conduit or a form of EMI shielding.• The power cable should be installed as close to the battery source as possible.◦ If is necessary to extend the power cable, the appropriate gauge of wire must be used as directed in these instructions.◦ Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.Mounting the unitBefore you mount the unit, you must review the mounting location considerations and select a mounting location.NOTE: The supplied M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods can be used on mounting thicknesses of 5 to 30 mm (3/16 to 1 3/16 in.) (recommended). For surfaces over 30 mm (1 3/16 in.), use longer threaded rods.1If you are not installing the device on a pre-drilled Garmin-compatible radar mount, use the included mounting template to drill four 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) mounting holes.2Install the locking rings and o-rings on the end of the power and Garmin Marine Network cables.3Connect the power cable to the power port À and the network cable to the network port Á.4Press the cables into any of the guide grooves  on the bottom of the case, and secure them using cable hold-down plates Ã.The cables should be bent or twisted as little as possible.5Position the radome on the mounting surface with the triangular mark on the case aligned to the front of the vessel.6Apply the included anti-seize compound to the threads of the four M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods.7Insert the four threaded rods into the mounting holes on the bottom of the radome.Up to 50 mm (2 in.) of the threaded rods may extend below the unit.8Apply a bead of marine sealant on the mounting surface around each mounting hole.9Fasten the device Ä to the mounting surface Å using the threaded rods Æ, flat washers Ç, spring washers È, and hex nuts É.2
