EMC Installation GuidelinesHumminbird equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect suchinterference could have on the performance of your system.Correct installation is required to ensure that EMC performance is not compromised.NOTE: In areas  of extreme EMC interference, some slight interference may  be noticed on  the product.Where this occurs the product and the source of the interference should be separated by a greater distance.For optimum EMC performance, we recommend that wherever possible:• Humminbird equipment and cables connected to it are:– At least 3 feet (1 m) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals (e.g. VHFradios, cables and antennas). In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 feet(2 m).– More than 7 feet (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumedto spread 20 degrees above and below the radiating element.• The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important toprevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separatebattery.• Humminbird specified cables are used.• Cables are not cut or extended, unless doing so is detailed in the installation manual.NOTE: Where constraints on the installation prevent any of the above recommendations, always ensurethe maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the bestconditions for EMC performance throughout the installation.HELIX™, Humminbird®, and ONIX® are trademarked by or registered trademarks of Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc.

5Installation Preparation2. Choose the Mounting LocationIt is important to consider the following information when installing the Radar scanner on the vessel. TheRadar scanner must be mounted where it is:• Near the vessel's centerline• Above head height• Clear of large objects such as the flybridge, large engine stacks, searchlights, horns, masts, etc.• At least 3 feet (1 m) from a magnetic compass or other scanners• Away from heat and fumes• On a stable platform that is capable of securely supporting the scanner under seagoing conditions• Easily accessibleWARNING! Do NOT install the radar in a location that exposes passengers andcrew to the radar beam. Do NOT mount the radar where it could radiate on any person. CAUTION! Working at higher elevations may become necessary while installingthe scanner unit. Observe safety measures and take sufficient precautions to avoidpersonal injury or damage to the equipment.

Centerline The scanner unit should be mounted on the centerline of your boat in a location that has an unobstructedview forward and is as clear as possible the rest of the way around the unit.HeightChoose a location as high as practical to improve maximum range, but not so high as to be adversely affectedby the vessel’s pitching and rolling. Also, keep in mind that minimum range objects may be overlooked ifmounted too high.Unobstructed ViewPosition the Radar scanner forward of large structures and exhaust stacks. Contamination from engineexhaust on the scanner housing reduces radar performance.• Antennas for GPS, radio communication, or other equipment should not be located in the radarbeam.• Use non-metallic extension poles to move the active area of antennas above the radar beam.Blind Spots, Shadow Areas, and False Echoes: Large structures or stacks may cause blind spots and/orfalse echoes.• Wet sails may also cause shadow areas, so Radar performance may be reduced in the rain. • If you mount the Radar scanner on a mast, echoes from other targets may be reflected from the mast.• It is particularly important to avoid shadow areas near the bow.• In shadow areas beyond the obstruction, there will be a reduction of the beam intensity. There maybe a blind sector if the beam intensity is not sufficient to obtain an echo from an object. This mayoccur even at close range. For this reason, the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow areamust be determined at installation.•Identifying shadow areas and/or false echoes on the control head: For example, adjust thesettings on your control head to view sea clutter. Dark sectors on the Radar display indicate possibleshadowed areas.

In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 7 feet(2 m).– More than 7 feet (2 m) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumedto spread 20° above and below the radiating element.•The Radar scanner must be supplied from a separate power source from that used for engine start.This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start doesnot have a separate battery or fuse panel.Mounting SurfaceThe mounting surface must be flat, stable, and approximately parallel with the boat’s waterline. •Surface Thickness: If the mounting surface is thin, a doubler should be added. If the mountingsurface is thick, longer bolts must be purchased separately. •Surface Angle: The Radar beam from the Radar scanner is approximately 20° wide in the verticaldirection to give good target detection even when your vessel pitches and rolls.Planing hull vessels, and some displacement hull vessels, adopt a higher bow angle when the vesselis at cruising speed. This may raise the Radar’s main radiation angle, and can cause poor detectionof nearby targets. It may be necessary to compensate for the bow rise to ensure optimum targetdetection. This can be achieved by fitting a wedge or washers between the mounting platform andthe base of the Radar scanner, so that the Radar beam remains parallel to the water line when thevessel's bow rises at cruising speed.CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1  8/11/16  10:48 AM  Page 7
Mounting BaseThe Radar scanner can be installed directly to a roof or other flat surface. The mounting location must besecure enough to support the Radar scanner under seagoing conditions. You can also use a mountingbracket (separate purchase required). Be certain to keep the water drain tube clear, which is located at thebottom of the scanner unit.NOTE: If the mounting bracket or surface has a curvature of more than 5/64" (2 mm), use spacers with themounting bolts to prevent stress on the scanner housing.AccessAccess to the under side is required for installation of the mounting bolts.

A separate purchasemast mounting bracket is highly recommended.Review the following important mounting requirements:• When mounting the Radar scanner onto the mast, check that the unit is not fouled by the sails,especially when tacking.• Depending on the type of sailing vessel and the design of the sailplan, a Radar scanner guard(separate purchase required) should be attached to the mast if the sails or rigging contact either theRadar scanner unit or the mounting bracket (separate purchase required). See the illustrationExample of a Radar Guard Installation.WARNING! Without a  proper Radar  guard, serious damage can  result to the Radar  mountingbracket and the Radar scanner itself. In extreme cases, such damage could result in the Radar scannerunit being pulled off the mast. Therefore, it is  recommended that a  Radar scanner guard should bemounted additionally and separately to the Radar scanner mounting bracket.• To prevent the risk of the Radar scanner falling after it has been damaged, the security lanyardsupplied with the mast bracket (separate purchase required) must be secured properly to the mastand to the Radar scanner, according to the instructions provided with the bracket. If a safety lanyard is not supplied with the mounting bracket, contact your local dealer for appropriateparts. Do NOT attach other equipment to either the Radar scanner or the bracket.•Maintenance: Humminbird strongly recommends that you check the condition and security of thebracket mounting feet, the security lanyard(s), the Radar scanner guard, and the Radar scanneritself, on a yearly basis (or more frequently depending on environmental applications). Any fittingsshould be replaced as appropriate.NOTE: The Radar guard shown in the illustration above is provided as  an example  only. The design andpositioning of the Radar guard depends on your vessel type, sailplan, and installation environment.

Multiple Radar InstallationIt is important to note that multiple radars cannot be connected to the same network. If you are installingmore than one radar on the same vessel, review the following important location requirements:• Scanners should be mounted above each other, and vertically separated by at least 1.6 ft (0.5 m).This applies to all installation locations on the vessel.• Multiple scanners should be mounted in a way that minimizes interference between the verticalbeamwidths of the 2 scanners.• To minimize any potential interference, mount the scanners with as much physical separation aspossible.Example of a Mast Platform Mount with a Safety Lanyardmountingplatform safety lanyard attachmentpoint to M8 boltmastsafety lanyardattachment pointto mast10Installation Preparation3.

Test Route the CablesUsing the information in this section, test route the cables from the planned mounting location to the controlhead or Ethernet Switch location and the power source. Cables must be routed correctly to maximizeperformance and prolong cable life. See Connect to Power and Ethernet for more information.CIRCUIT  ISOLATION  WARNING! Proper circuit isolation is  required for installations  using bothAC and DC current. If  you are installing a  3rd party  product that utilizes AC current, contact a  qualifiedmarine installer for assistance.CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded. Ifcables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of theconnectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware orautomotive store.Avoid Cable BendingDo NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a minimumbend radius of 4" (100 mm).Strain ReliefEnsure adequate strain relief is provided. Protect connectors from strain and ensure they will not pull outunder extreme sea conditions.Cable ProtectionProtect 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.• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertight feed-through.• Route data cables away from other equipment and cables, high current carrying AC and DC powerlines, and antennae.• Secure cables in place using cable ties or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way.•Cable Shielding: Ensure that all data cables are properly shielded and that the cable shielding isintact (e.g. hasn’t been scraped off by being squeezed through a tight area).Avoiding Cable Bending4" (100 mm)CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1  8/11/16  10:48 AM  Page 11

5. Route the CablesAfter connecting the power cable and data cable to the Radar scanner unit, you must route the cables tothe control head and power source. Cable routing depends on whether you mount the scanner on a platformor pole.CAUTION! Confirm that the vessel’s power supply is switched off before proceeding.CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded. Ifcables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of theconnectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware orautomotive store. 1. Route the Power and Data CablesRoute the power cable to the power source and the data cable to the control head or Ethernet Switch location.You will connect the cables in a later procedure.1. Confirm the vessel’s power supply is switched off.2. Route the power cable to the fuse panel or battery. 3. Route the data cable to the control head or Ethernet Switch.4. Secure the cables near the scanner to support the weight of the cables and prevent strain on the watertightcable seals. If the cable is to pass through tubing or a bulkhead, protect the unfinished end. Make a drip loop and apply sealant at the entry point of an exterior bulkhead. 5. Proceed to Connect to Power and Ethernet. CAUTION! Do not use the unfinished wires or fabric braid to pull the cable.17 Route the Cables                                 riate                                                   CHIRP_Radar_Install_Manual_532523-1EN_A.qxp_Layout 1  8/11/16  10:48 AM  Page 17
6. Connect to Power and EthernetThe power cable must be connected to a separate 12 VDC or 24 VDC power source other than that used forengine start. Use the instructions in this section to connect the power cable to a battery or fuse panel, andthe data cable to the Humminbird control head or Ethernet Switch. WARNING: GROUNDING NOT REQUIRED! The Radar scanner power cable is fully insulated anddoes not require separate grounding.WARNING!  Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The Radar scannermust have adequate protection through the proper selection and installation of circuit protection (i.e. fuse,thermal breaker, etc.).CAUTION! Only use the power cable supplied with your product. Do not use a power cable designed for,or supplied with, a different product.1. Determine Your Fuse and Thermal Breaker RequirementIdeally, all equipment should be wired to individual suitably-rated thermal breakers or fuses to provideappropriate circuit protection. Where this is not possible and more than one (1) product shares a breaker,use individual in-line fuses for each power circuit to provide the necessary protection.The following in-line fuse and thermal breaker ratings apply to your product:•In-line fuse rating: 5 Amp•Thermal breaker rating: 3 Amp (if only connecting one device)NOTE:  The  suitable fuse rating for the thermal breaker is  dependent on  the number of  devices you areconnecting. 18Connect to Power and Ethernet2.
