• The device should be mounted at least 1 m (40 in.) away

from cables carrying radio signals such as VHF radios,

cables, and antennas.

For Single Side Band (SSB) radios, increase the distance to

2 m (6 ½ ft.).

Mounting the Radar

Before you mount the radar, you must review the mounting

location considerations and select a mounting location.

NOTE: The supplied M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods can be used

on mounting thicknesses of 5 to 30 mm (

to 1

in.)

(recommended). For surfaces over 30 mm (1

in.), use longer

threaded rods.

If you are not installing the device on a pre-drilled Garmin

compatible radar mount, use the included mounting template

to drill four 9.5 mm (

in.) mounting holes.

Connect the power cable to the power port and the

network cable to the network port .

Press the cables into any of the guide grooves on the

bottom of the case, and secure them using a cable hold-

down plate .

The cables should be bent or twisted as little as possible.

Using the arrow on the bottom as a reference, position the

radome on the mounting surface aligned to the front of the

vessel.

NOTE: If you choose not to align the dome with the front of

the vessel, you can adjust the front-of-boat offset after the

dome is installed (Setting the Front-of-Boat Offset,

page 3).

Apply the included anti-seize compound to the threads of the

four M8 x 1.25 x 60 threaded rods.

Insert the four threaded rods into the mounting holes on the

bottom of the radome.

Up to 50 mm (2 in.) of the threaded rods may extend below

the radome.

Apply a bead of marine sealant on the mounting surface

around each mounting hole.

Fasten the radome to the mounting surface using the

threaded rods , flat washers , spring washers , and

hex nuts .

Using a torque wrench, tighten the nuts to 13.7 to 18.6 N-m

(10 to 14 lbf-ft.).

Cable Considerations

It may be necessary to drill 32 mm (1

) in. holes for routing the

power or network cables.

• When routing both the power and network cables through the

same hole, you must route the network cable before the

power cable.

• You must apply marine sealant to the hole after the cables

are in place to ensure a waterproof seal.

If the routing hole must be made in a visible location, decorative

cable grommets can be purchased from Garmin or a Garmin

dealer (optional).

• If needed, the grommet can be trimmed to enable you to

route both the network and the power cable through the

same hole.

• The optional grommet does NOT provide a waterproof seal.

You must apply marine sealant to the grommet after the

cables are in place to ensure a waterproof seal.

When installing the network and power cables, you should

observe these considerations.

• Cutting the Garmin Marine Network cable is not

recommended, but a field install kit can be purchased from

Garmin or a Garmin dealer if cutting the network cable is

necessary.

• To ensure safety, appropriate tie-wraps, fasteners, and

sealant should be used to secure the cable along the route

and through any bulkheads or the deck.

• Cables should not be run near moving objects and high-heat

sources or through doorways and bilges.

• To avoid interference with other equipment, network and

power cables should not be run next to or parallel to other

cables, such as radio antenna lines or power cables. If this is

not possible, the cables should be shielded with metal

conduit or a form of EMI shielding.

• The power cable should be installed as close to the battery

source as possible.

◦ If it is necessary to extend the power cable, the

appropriate gauge of wire must be used (Power Cable

Extensions, page 3).

◦ Incorrectly extended runs of cable may cause the radar to

malfunction due to insufficient power transmission.

Connecting the Power Cable

WARNING

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line

fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product

damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse

must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In

addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate

fuse in place voids the product warranty.

Route the power cable from the device to the power source.
