Furuno 1834C-BB User Manual

 

•  See the mounting considerations for the MODEL1824C-BB on page 1-5. 
 

1.  Open the antenna unit packing box carefully. 
2.  Unbolt the four bolts at the base of the radome cover to remove the cover.   

Radome cover

The mounting surface must be parallel with the waterline and provided with five holes 
(four fixing holes and one cable entry) whose dimensions are shown in the outline 
drawing at the back of this manual. 

The unit is adjusted so a target echo returned from the bow direction will be shown on 
the zero degree (heading line) position on the screen. When drilling holes, be sure they 
are parallel with the fore and aft line. 

3.  Prepare a platform (wood, steel*, or aluminum) of 5 to 10 millimeters in thickness for the 

antenna unit.   
A mounting bracket for mounting the antenna unit on a sailboat mast is optionally 
available. (Refer to page 1-17.) Find the cable entry on the radome base. Next, position 
the radome base so the cable entry faces the stern direction. This alignment must be as 
accurate as possible.   

*: For steel platform, take appropriate measures to prevent corrosion.
