GMR A02546 4/6 Installation InstructionsImportant Safety Information WARNINGSee the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.The radar transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the radar is installed according to the recommendations in these instructions and that all personnel are clear of the path of the radar beam before transmitting. 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.When the radar is transmitting, do not look directly at the antenna at close range; eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty. CAUTIONThis device should be used only as a navigational aid. Do not attempt to use the device for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography.Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.NOTICEWhen drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface.Registering Your DeviceHelp us better support you by completing our online registration today.• Go to my.garmin.com.• Keep the original sales receipt, or a photocopy, in a safeplace.Contacting Garmin® Product Support• Go to www.garmin.com/support for in-country supportinformation.• In the USA, call 913-397-8200 or 1-800-800-1020.• In the UK, call 0808 238 0000.• In Europe, call +44 (0) 870 850 1241.Tools Needed• #2 Phillips screwdriver• 5 mm hex wrench• Drill• 15.0 mm (19/32 in.) drill bit• 32 mm (1 1/4 in.) drill bit (optional)• 17 mm (21/32 in.) wrench and torque wrench• 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire to ground the radar housing(the length depends on the distance from the radar toground)• Marine sealantMounting ConsiderationsWhen selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.• It is highly recommended that the device is mounted out ofrange of people, with the vertical beam width above headheight. To avoid exposure to harmful radio frequency (RF)levels, the device should not be mounted closer to peoplethan the maximum safe distance value listed in the productspecifications.• The device should be mounted high above the ship’s keelline with minimal blockage of the radar beam. Obstructionsmay cause blind and shadow sectors, or generate falseechoes. The higher the installation position, the farther theradar can detect targets.• The device should be mounted on a flat surface or a platformthat is parallel to the vessel's water line and is sturdy enoughto support the device's weight. The weight for each model islisted in the product specifications.• The radar beam spreads vertically 11.5° above and11.5° below À the radar's radiating element. On vessels withhigher bow angles at cruise speed, the installation angle canbe lowered to point the beam slightly downward to thewaterline while at rest. Shims can be used if necessary.• The device should be mounted away from heat sources, suchas smoke stacks and lights.• The device should be mounted at a different level thanhorizontal spreaders and mast crosstrees.• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the deviceshould not be mounted closer to a compass than thecompass-safe distance value listed in the productspecifications.• Other electronics and cables should be mounted more than2 m (6.5 ft.) from the radar beam path.• GPS antennas should be either above or below the radarbeam path.• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) from anytransmitting equipment.• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) awayfrom cables carrying radio signals such as VHF radios,cables, and antennas.• The device should be mounted at least 2 m (6.5 ft.) awayfrom Single Side Band (SSB) radios.February 2016 Printed in Taiwan 190-01967-91_01
Installation ProceduresPreparing the Radar Mounting SurfaceBefore you can mount the radar, you must choose a suitable mounting location (Mounting Considerations, page 1).1Secure the included mounting template to the surface at the mounting location, along the bow-stern axis, as indicated on the template.2Drill the mounting holes using a 15 mm (19/32 in.) drill bit.3If you need to run the power and network cables through the mounting surface, select a location along the center channel indicated on the template, drill a pass-through hole for the cables using a 25 mm (1 in.) drill bit, and route the cables through the surface (optional) (Cable Considerations, page 2).4Remove the mounting template from the surface.Mounting the RadarBefore you can mount the radar, you must select a mounting location (Mounting Considerations, page 1) and prepare the mounting surface (Preparing the Radar Mounting Surface, page 2).1From under the mounting surface, place the included plastic shoulder washers À into the holes you drilled when preparing the mounting surface.2Place the radar onto the mounting surface, aligning the holes on the base of the radar with the holes in the shoulder washers.3Insert the threaded rods Á through the mounting surface and into the radar base, and tighten them using a 5 mm hex wrench.To avoid damaging the pedestal, you should stop tightening the threaded rods when they no longer turn easily.4Place the flat washers Â, lock washers Ã, and hex nuts Ä on the threaded rods.5Tighten the hex nuts to a torque of 14.7 N-m (11 lbf-ft.) to securely fasten the radar to the surface without damaging the radar or the mounting hardware.Installing the AntennaBefore you can install the antenna on the radar, you must securely mount the pedestal (Mounting the Radar, page 2).1Remove the protective cover from the waveguide on the top of the pedestal À.2Align the waveguide on the pedestal with the socket on the bottom of the antenna Á, and slide the antenna onto the pedestal.3Secure the antenna to the pedestal by tightening the captive hex bolts under the antenna arm.4Tighten the hex bolts to a torque of 7.9 N-m (6 lbf-ft.) to fasten the antenna to the pedestal without damaging the antenna or the mounting hardware.Cable ConsiderationsIt may be necessary to drill 25 mm (1 in.) holes for routing the power or network cables.• When routing both the power and network cables through the same hole, you must route the network cable before the power cable.• You must apply marine sealant to the hole after the cables are in place to ensure a waterproof seal.If the routing hole must be made in a visible location, decorative cable grommets can be purchased from Garmin or a Garmin dealer (optional).• You must drill a 31.7 mm (11/4 in.) hole to use the optional grommet.• If needed, the grommet can be trimmed to enable you to route both the network and the power cable through the same hole.• The optional grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal. You must apply marine sealant to the grommet after the cables are in place ensure a waterproof seal.When installing the network and power 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, network and power 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 it is necessary to extend the power cable, the appropriate gauge of wire must be used (Power Cable Extensions, page 3).◦ Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.2
