FAQs

What precautions should be taken when drilling/cutting for installation?

Always check what is on the opposite side of surfaces before drilling/cutting to avoid damaging the vessel.

What are the main safety precautions for installing the radar?

Important safety precautions include mounting above head height and observing minimum safe distance to avoid RF exposure. The radar must not be mounted closer to people than the minimum safe distance listed in the product specifications.

Are there any mounting surface requirements?

The radar should be mounted on a flat surface parallel to the vessel's water line and sturdy enough to support its weight.

Are fuse(s) required for power connection?

A 15 A fuse in the radar power cable and, if using a voltage converter, a 30 A fuse between the converter and battery are required. Do not remove the in-line fuses.

How is the radar controlled once installed?

All functions are controlled via the Garmin chartplotter. Refer to the chartplotter owner's manual for operation.

What are the cable routing and sealing recommendations?

Apply marine sealant to holes after cables are in place to ensure a waterproof seal. Decorative grommets are optional, but sealant is still required for waterproofing.

How should the system be grounded?

A 3.31 mm² (12 AWG) copper wire must connect the radar (and voltage converter, if used) to a water ground location, not the battery’s negative terminal.

What are the power input requirements?

The voltage converter requires input voltage of 10 to 32 Vdc. For direct power, connect to a boat battery of 10 to 32 Vdc.

Is there any restriction on opening the radar unit?

The device contains no user-serviceable parts and should only be opened by a Garmin authorized service technician. Unauthorized opening voids the warranty.

What networking options are supported?

The radar supports Garmin BlueNet and Garmin Marine Network connections, with adapter cables available as needed.
