■ Mounting the EX-2714 scanner unit

D Location

The scanner unit is designed to be weatherproof and
completely watertight. Select a place for installation
which meets the following important conditions.

q The scanner unit must be near the boat’s center line

and have a good view in every direction. Be sure
there are no objects in the surrounding area which
will intercept the scanning beam.

w KEEP the scanner unit away from any smoke-

stacks. Smoke can damage the unit. 

e When the boat is equipped with a radio directional

finder (RDF) system, keep the scanner unit at least
2 m (6.6 ft) away from any RDF antenna. 

• Radiation from the scanner unit can affect the measure-

ment data of RDF equipment. 

r The unit should be placed as high as possible on

the boat to obtain best performance with maximum
range. 

t If you install two or more radar in one boat, install

one above, and one below. 

y The mounting surface must be parallel with the

boat’s waterline.

u If the height is insufficient to install the scanner unit,

build a special frame for installation. 

D Mounting 
q Drill four holes of 12 mm (

1

⁄

2

in) in diameter using

the template. 

w If the mounting surface or platform is metal, apply

sealing compound around the holes to prevent cor-
rosion and to waterproof the unit. 

e Fix the scanner unit to the selected position with

bolts of 10 mm (

3

⁄

8

in) in diameter, with flat and

spring washers. The supplied bolts are two lengths:
25 mm (1 in) or 50 mm (2 in).

CAUTION: SECURE the four bolts tightly. 

BE SURE [POWER] is OFF when-

ever you are working with the scanner unit.
