User manual RAYMARINE PATHFINDER RADAR SCANNERS

[. . . ] Pathfinder Radar Scanners Owner's Handbook Document number: 81154_7 Date: 1st March 2004 i Pathfinder Radar Scanners Pathfinder Radar Scanners Owners Handbook March 2004 Intended Use The scanner units detailed in this handbook form part of navigational radar systems intended for light marine use. WARNING: The 4D radome scanner connected to an SL70, SL70 PLUS or SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display unit DOES NOT conform to the EU directive 95/ 5/EC, therefore such a system cannot be installed on a vessel within the EU. Safety Notices This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. Adjustments require specialized service procedures and tools only available to qualified service technicians ­ there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments. [. . . ] If you extend the power cable you may need to select different inter-unit cable(s), as discussed in the following section Power Cable. Table 1-3: Recommended Radome Inter-Unit Cable(s) for Vessels with 12 V Power Systems Inter-Unit Cable Length Required (m) Scanner Package 2D 10 m light 15 m light or 10 m light + 5 m ext 25 m heavy or 10 m light + 10 m ext 25 m heavy 25 m heavy+ 5 m ext 25 m heavy+ 10 m ext 4D N/A 15 m heavy 15 m heavy + 5 m ext 15 m heavy + 10 m ext 25 m heavy+ 5 m ext 25 m heavy + 10 m ext 10 15 20 25 30 35 Refer to the packing list in Unpacking and inspecting the components on page 3 for cable part numbers 15 Power cable The radome radar systems are intended for use on ships' DC power systems operating in the range 10. 7 to 32 V DC (that is, 12 V and 24 V systems; not 32 V systems). A 1. 5 m (5 ft) power cable is supplied (with the display unit) for connecting the ship's DC power to the radar scanner via the display unit. Refer to the Display Unit Owner's Handbook for details on connecting this cable. This section provides details for extending the length of the power cable. If a longer power cable run is required, use the supplied power cable to connect to the display unit. Then use a suitable connector block to connect the free end to the extension cable. The supplied power cable has a cross-section of 2. 0 mm2. Note: For vessels with 24 V power systems, the power cable may be extended by up to 20 m using a wire gauge of 1. 5 mm2 (AWG 16) or greater, irrespective of the inter-unit cable length. For vessels with 12 V power systems, longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize any voltage drop in the cable. The type of scanner, type of inter-unit cable and cable length also affect the wire gauge required for the extension power cable. Estimate the length of cable between the ship's main power source and the connector block. Use the followings tables (one for each scanner size) to determine, for each inter-unit cable combination, the wire size required for that length. For example, you might have a 24" scanner, with 20 m between the scanner and display unit, that you plan to connect by extending the supplied 15 m heavy interunit cable with a 5 m extension cable. In addition, your 12 V power supply might be 10 m from the display unit, requiring an extension of 8. 5 m. To determine the wire gauge required for the power cable extension, refer to the table for the 24" scanner, go to the row labelled 15 m Heavy + 5 m ext, and read across until you come to a maximum cable length greater than 8. 5 m. This is the 10 m entry, in the column for 4. 0 mm2 wire gauge. 16 Pathfinder Radar Scanners Table 1-4: Max.

Heavy duty cables are available in 15 m and 25 m lengths which should be sufficient to complete the cable run required on most small vessels. For longer runs, 5 m and 10 m extension cables are available, both have 4 power cores to minimize voltage drops over the cable run and incorporate in-line moulded plugs. The maximum inter-unit cable length is limited by the minimum supply voltage and the scanner type. CAUTION: 10 kW scanner systems cannot be used directly with 12 V systems; they require a 12 V to 24 V converter rated to 180 W. 12 V Systems (4 kW scanners only) For vessels with 12 V power systems, the recommended cable(s) for different run lengths are given in the following table, which assumes a minimum supply voltage of 10. 7 V (the lowest voltage likely to be reached by a 12 V battery in normal marine use).
