Section 2. Installation

Warning

It is recommended that the radar antenna be mounted above

objects which could interfere with the radar signal such as the

flying bridge, large engine stacks, and personnel. This may be

difficult on some vessels and in such a case it is recommended

that a radar mounting pedestal be used. Always turn off the

radar system before servicing the antenna or nearby equipment.

For sailboat installations, Raytheon offers a universal mast mount kit

ProductCodeM88390). Thisoptionalmount fitsmastswithdiameters

from 2

l/4’

and larger. When using the mast mount kit, appropriate

hardware should be used for the style and structure of the mast aboard

the vessel.

If there is any doubt concerning the appropriate type of hardware,

consult with your boat dealer or representative ,for their

recommendations.

Depending on the type of sailboat, a radar antenna guard should be

installed if the sails tend to contact the antenna platform. Without a

proper radar guard, serious damage could result to the mounting

platform and the radar antenna.
