3.3 Disclaimers
WATER INGRESS
Although the waterproof rating capacity of this product exceeds that called for by the IPX6 standard,
water intrusion and subsequent equipment failure may occur if the transceiver enclosure is subjected
to commercial high pressure washing. Kelvin Hughes Ltd will not warrant equipment subjected to high
pressure washing.
For optimum EMC performance we recommend that wherever possible the equipment and cables
connected to it are:
At least 1m from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios,
cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2m.
More than 2 m 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 cables supplied and specified for the equipment are correctly fitted and used.
Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.
NOTICE
Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations, always ensure the maximum
possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the best conditions for EMC
performance throughout the installation
SUPPRESSION FERRITES
Cables supplied with the equipment may be fitted with suppression ferrites. These are important for
correct EMC performance. If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or
maintenance), it must be replaced in the original position before the product is used.
Use only ferrites of the correct type as supplied with the cables.
The X-band 12kW transceiver and open Array radar scanners are in compliance with the essential
requirements of R & TTE directive 1999/5EC.

5 Mechanical installation
5.1 Location requirements
When selecting a location for the scanner/ transceiver it is important to consider a number of factors.
Additional information on the sighting and position of a radar system is available from Kelvin Hughes
Ltd on request.
HORIZONTAL POSITION
The radar scanner should be positioned as near as possible to your vessels centreline.
HEIGHT
The radar scanner should normally be mounted as high as practical above the waterline.
Mount the scanner above head height out of range of personnel, to avoid mechanical danger and
minimize exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
Radar operates at the line-of-sight, so a high mounting position gives better long range
performance.
Surrounding large objects, in the same horizontal plane, can interfere with the radar signal and
can cause blind areas or shadow sectors and false targets on the radar display (see below).
In shadow areas beyond the obstruction there will be a reduction of the beam intensity. There may be
a blind sector if the beam intensity is not sufficient to obtain an echo from an object. This may occur
even at close range. For this reason the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow area must
be determined at installation. You may be able to detect shadow areas or false echoes on your
multifunction display. For example, sea clutter can be used as a good indicator of blind arcs. Dark
sectors on the radar display indicate possible shadowed areas. This information should be posted
near the display unit and operates must be alert for targets in these blind areas.
ACCESS
The radar scanner should be easily accessible to allow maintenance to be carried out safely.
Sufficient clearance must be allowed to fully open the scanner unit for maintenance and service.
CABLES
All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to heat.
Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. Where a cable
passes through an exposed bulkhead or deck head, use a watertight feed-through.
MOUNTING PLATFORM
The radar scanner must be mounted on a rigid and stable platform. The platform must be capable of
supporting the mass and inertia of the radar scanner under seagoing conditions. The platform should
not twist (causing bearing errors) or be subjected to excessive vibration.
HBK-2300-3 Issue 3

X-band 12kW Upmast Magnetron Transceiver
Chapter 5: Mechanical installation
For safety reasons it is recommended that the unit is not fitted by one person. The unit is supplied
with lifting eyes (maximum Safe Working Load (SWL) = 40kg) to facilitate the use of standard lifting
accessories, such as a rope, chain or strop. The SWL of the lifting accessories should be a minimum
of 150kg. Suitable lifting equipment could include a crane, hoist, or an appropriate rigid overhead
structure.
WARNING
DO NOT LIFT THE TRANSCEIVER WITH THE ANTENNA FITTED

Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a minimum bend radius of 100
mm.
Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat. Use trunking or conduit where
possible. Do NOT run cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the
way.
Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertight
feed-through.
Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.
STRAIN RELIEF
Ensure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors from strain and ensure they will not pull
out under extreme sea conditions.

Chapter 6: Cabling guidance
6.2 Grounding
All parts of the system MUST be fully and correctly connected to a proven earth point prior to
connecting any source of AC power.
CONNECTION POINT
All Kelvin Hughes equipment is fitted with a single protective earth connection point which is indicated
on the mechanical installation drawings.
The preferred minimum requirement for the path to the path to the ground (bonded or non-bonded) is
via a flat tinned copper braid, with a 30 A rating (1/4 inch or greater).
In any grounding system, always keep the length of connecting braid or wires as short as possible.
CONDUCTIVITY TESTS
During installation and maintenance, the earth connections must be tested for conductivity using a
high current impedance meter such as a Megger or similar.
WRIST STRAPS
Fully isolate and mechanically disconnect all sources of AC before attaching ESD protective wrist
straps to the various points in the system.
CABLE SCREENS
Unless otherwise specified, cable screens should be connected to a proven and tested earth point by
use of connectors or cable glands.
WARNING
The system must NOT be operated or have AC power switched ON with
Earth/ Grounding points disconnected

7.1 Transceiver
STANDARD CABLE
Cable part number A55079 (25m length) connects the transceiver to the managed network switch and
the DC power supply. The cable contains both DC power and the LAN data wires.
All power connections must be made via the E70352 power supply as this controls and monitors
the DC supply to the system. The transceiver must not be directly connected to a separate DC
supply.
Each system requires a dedicated E70352 unit.
The power connection between the transceiver and the E70352 must be via the specified power
and cable (purchased separately).
The transceiver must be connected to the POWER OUT terminals of the E70352.
The screen (drain) strands of the cable must be connected to one of the E70352 SCREEN
terminals.

the E70352.
SCREEN STRANDS
Connect to one of the
3
SCREEN terminals of the
E70352.
CAUTION
The standard cable must not be cut, shortened or lengthened.
TRANSCEIVER CONNECTOR
The power and data connector is at the rear of the radar scanner
unit.
Ensuring that the arrow on the power and data cable connector is aligned with the red triangular mark
on the radar scanner connector, connect the cable to the scanners’ connector, and fully hand-tighten.
Do NOT use a wrench or any other tool.
NOTICE
If the antenna connector is disconnected after initial installation, it is recommended that before reconnecting, you
lightly coat the connector thread with Renolit Aqua 2 Calcium grease.
Where the distance between the network switch and the display sub-system exceeds 25m, a
screened CAT5e LAN cable must be used and connected to the existing cable. Where cables are
joined a screened coupler must be used and the joint should be secured to ensure that the connection
cannot work loose.
HBK-2300-3 Issue 3
Page 25 of 40
X-band 12kW Upmast Magnetron Transceiver
Chapter 7: CONNECTION DETAILS
The E70352 power supply is intended for use on ships DC power systems operating from 12 to 24
Volts DC.
DC INPUT CABLE
The power cable can be extended for longer cable runs between the E70352 and the ships DC supply
or optional AC/DC power supply.
If you need to extend the power cable, use a waterproof junction box for external connections. The
junction box should provide a terminal strip with sufficient space for power connections. The terminal
strip should be a minimum of 30 Amp rating for power cores. It is essential that both power cores and
the screen (drain) are connected and that the connection is of a very low resistance as considerable
power passes through this connection.
The following table provides recommended total power cable lengths and gauges. These figures
relate to the maximum distance of power cables from the ships DC supply or optional AC/DC power
supply to the E70352.
CAUTION
Exceeding the following cable lengths may cause unreliable operation.
NOTICE
If the required extensions result in unacceptably large diameter cables, use two or even smaller gauge wires to
achieve the required copper wire cross-section. For example, using two pairs of 2mm2 cables is equivalent to
using two single 4 mm2 cables.
Extensions to the screen (drain) wire should use an 8 mm braid or AWG 10 (5.26 mm 2) multi stranded
cable.
HBK-2300-3 Issue 3
Page 26 of 40
X-band 12kW Upmast Magnetron Transceiver
Chapter 7: CONNECTION DETAILS
All power connections between the E70352 and its power source must be protected by a thermal
circuit breaker or fuse, fitted close to the power connection. The connection from the output of the
E70352 to the transceiver does not require a fuse or circuit breaker.
If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit (fitted to the DC distribution
panel, for example) you MUST fit an in-line breaker or fuse to the positive wire of the power cable.
The following table provides suitable ratings for battery isolator switches, circuit breakers and fuses.
