8.10 Radar System Tests and Post Installation Alignment
Once you have installed your Pathfinder Radar System and made all the
connections, you need to check your installation and perform the System Tests
before using the system for navigation. It is strongly recommended that the
System Tests are performed before connecting the radar to other equipment in
an integrated system. If you have extended your inter-unit cable, you will also
need to check the display timing. If you encounter any problems, refer to
Chapter 9.
You may wish to read Chapters 2 to 4, and familiarise yourself with the
operation of the system, before performing the initial set up and alignment.
System Check
Before performing the functional test, check the following:
• All securing bolts are fully tightened and mechanical locking arrange-
ments as specified are in place.
• Scanner and power connections have been made.
• All connecting wires are secured and protected as necessary.
Note: If you are the boat owner and have performed the installation yourself,
ask your authorised installation dealer to check the installation before going
to sea.
