Raymarine Radar Scanner Manual De Propietario

Chapter 1: Overview

3

In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 
2 m (7 ft).

•

More than 2 m (7 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar 
beam can normally be assumed to spread 20 degrees above 
and below the radiating element.

•

The equipment is supplied from a separate battery from that used 
for engine start. Voltage drops below 10 V (20 V for 10 kW open 
array scanners) in the power supply to our products, and starter 
motor transients, can cause the equipment to reset. This will not 
damage the equipment, but may cause the loss of some informa-
tion and may change the operating mode.

•

Raytheon specified cables are used at all times. Cutting and 
rejoining these cables can compromise EMC performance and so 
must be avoided unless doing so is detailed in the installation 
manual.

•

If a suppression ferrite is attached to a cable, this ferrite should not 
be removed. If the ferrite needs to be removed during installation 
it must be reassembled in the same position. Section 2.1 Installing 
the Radome Scanner includes instructions on fitting a ferrite.

The following illustration shows a typical range of suppression 
ferrites fitted to Raytheon equipment.

If your Raytheon equipment is to be connected to other equipment 
using a cable not supplied by Raytheon, a suppression ferrite MUST 
always be fitted to the cable close to the Raytheon unit.
