Introduction
This manual explains how to install the Halo® Pulse Compression Radar system. This manual
should be used in conjunction with the installation manual provided with the display.
This manual is written for professional marine technicians, installation technicians, and service
technicians. Dealers may use information contained in this document.
The radar system is intended for use in a marine environment. The radar system consists of a
pedestal, antenna, RI-12 radar interface and connection cables. An Ethernet network cable is
used to connect the RI-12 radar interface module to the navigation Ethernet network.
Antennas are available in three sizes 3ft, 4ft and 6ft to suit customer requirements.
The radar must be installed by a qualified radar technician.
Warnings
ra
! Warning: Use the radar at your own risk. Your radar is designed as a navigation aid. It
should not be used for purposes that require precise measurements of direction, distance,
topography or location. Always compare the navigation information received from your
radar with data from other navigation aids and sources. When a conflict arises between the
navigation data from your radar and data from other navigation aids, make sure you resolve
the conflict before proceeding with navigation.
A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN NAVIGATION
INFORMATION.
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea mandate that when radar is on
a vessel, the radar must be used at all times, regardless of weather conditions or visibility.
Numerous court decisions have ruled that the radar must be used, and the radar operator
must know all operational aspects of radar performance. Otherwise they will face a greater
risk of liability if an accident occurs.

! Warning: High Voltage Hazard . There are high voltages present within the radar
scanner unit.
Technicians must exercise extreme care when working inside the unit. ALWAYS remove
power before removing the cover. Some capacitors may take several minutes to discharge,
even after switching off the radar. Before touching any high voltage components, ground
them with a clip lead.
! Warning: Halo™ Pulse Compression Radar’s blue 4 level static accent pedestal lighting
may not be approved for use in your boating location. Please check your local boating
regulations before turning the blue accent lights ON.
! Warning: The microwave energy radiated by a radar antenna is harmful to humans,
especially to the eyes. NEVER look directly into an open waveguide or into the path of
radiation from an enclosed antenna. Radar and other radio frequency radiation can upset
cardiac pacemakers. If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal operation,
immediately turn off the radar equipment and move the person away from the antenna. Turn
off the radar whenever it is necessary to work on the antenna unit or other equipment in the
beam of the radar.

Installation Guidelines
! Warning: A radar unit should only be installed by a qualified marine technician, as
improper installation poses risks to the installer, the public, and to the safety of the vessel.
•
•
•
•
! Warning: Before commencing any installation or maintenance on the Halo radar make
sure the safety switch on the rear of the pedestal is set to OFF
There is a transmit interlock that prevents radar transmissions if the scanner is not rotating.
However, a high voltage remains for a period of time after the system is turned off. If you are
not familiar with this type of electronics, consult with a trained service or installation technician
before attempting to service any part of the equipment.
Installation includes:
mechanical mounting
electrical wiring
configuring the display or network system to work with the radar
adjusting the radar for proper performance
ra
The radar’s ability to detect targets depends greatly on the position of its scanner. The ideal
location for the scanner is high above the vessel’s keel line where there are no obstacles.
A higher installation position increases the radar ranging distance, but it also increases the
minimum range around the vessel where targets cannot be detected.
When you’re deciding on the location, please consider:
The length of the 20 m (66 ft) interconnection cable supplied with the radar is usually sufficient.
A longer 30 m (98 ft) cable is available. 30 m (98 ft) is the longest the cable that can be used.
If the roof of the wheelhouse is the highest existing location, consider installing a radar mast or
tower on which you can mount the radar. You may also need to construct a working platform
for your own safety during installation and servicing work.
If you locate the scanner on the mast, position it on the forward side so that there is a clear view
to the front of the vessel.
It is preferable to install the scanner parallel to the line of the keel.
•
•
•
15
•
DO NOT DO THIS!
DO NOT install the scanner too high up, where its weight will alter the stability of the vessel and
cause degrade the radar picture over short ranges.
DO NOT install the scanner close to lamps or exhaust outlets. The heat emissions may cause the
equipment to break down. Soot and smoke will degrade the performance of the radar.
DO NOT install the scanner close to the antennas of other equipment such as direction finders,
VHF antennas, GPS equipment etc, as it may cause interference.
DO NOT install the scanner where a large obstruction (such as an exhaust stack) is at the same
level as the beam. The obstruction is likely to generate false echoes and/or shadow zones. If
no other alternative location use the sector blanking feature in the radar software. (see “” on
page 27)
DO NOT install the scanner where it will be subjected to strong vibrations because the
vibrations could degrade the performance of the radar.
DO NOT install an open array close to halyards or flags because the wind could wrap these
around the antenna and jam it.

Installation Guidelines |Halo pulse compression radar installation manual
Considerations for direct roof mounting
When deciding a suitable mounting location for the Halo® Pulse Compression Radar be aware
that the vertical radar beam extends to 25° either side of horizontal. With 50% of the power
projecting in a beam 12.5° off horizontal. If the radar beams cannot clear the roof line, this will
decrease performance of the radar. Depending on the size of the hard top of the vessel, it is
recommended to elevate the antenna to allow the radar beams to clear the roof line. Below are
guide lines on heights above the hard top.
The below illustrates an installation with the Halo® Pulse Compression Radar mounted directly
on to a large hard top. This installation could suffer decreased performance as the radar energy
is either reflected or absorbed by the hard top.
 Note: Where the mounting surface is constructed of any form of metal you must elevate the
dome so that the beam has complete clearance, else performance will be severely impaired.

Hardware mounting
Install the RI-12 radar Interface module
Install the RI-12 in a dry location away from spray, rain, drips and condensation or excessive
heat. The mounting position should be easily accessible.
Always mount the RI-12 vertically, with the cable entry points facing downwards. This is to assist
in cooling and to assist stopping any possible water ingress though the cable grommets.
The RI-12 must be located where it can be easily connected to the ship’s ground, the pedestal
interconnection cable, the power cable and the NMEA 2000 network. Check that these cables
and the ship’s ground can easily reach the radar processor BEFORE you drill.
Use fasteners suited to the mounting surface material. If the material is too thin for self tappers,
reinforce it, or mount the RI-12 with machine screws nuts and washers. Use only 304 or 316
stainless steel fasteners. Mark the screw locations using RI-12 box as a template, and drill pilot
holes.
