1. MOUNTING

1.1 Antenna Unit

1.1.1 Mounting considerations

The antenna unit is generally installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast,
on a suitable platform. Locate the antenna unit where there is a good all-round view.
No funnel, mast or derrick should be within the vertical beamwidth of the antenna in the bow
direction, especially zero degrees ±5°, to prevent blind sectors and false echoes on the radar
picture.
It is rarely possible to place the antenna unit where a completely clear view in all directions is
available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow
sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity after fitting.
Locate the antenna of a direction finder clear of the antenna unit to prevent interference to the
direction finder. A separation of more than two meters is recommended.
To lessen the chance of picking up electrical interference, avoid where possible routing the
signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment. Also avoid running the cable in parallel
with power cables.
A magnetic compass will be affected if placed too close to the antenna unit. Observe the
following compass safe distances to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass: Standard
compass, 1.70 m (FR-2115-B), 2.10 m (FR-2125-B), Steering compass, 0.90 m (FR-2115-B),
1.20 m (FR-2125-B).
Do not paint the radiator aperture, to ensure proper emission of the radar waves.
The signal cable run between the antenna and the display is available in lengths of 15 m
(standard), 20 m, and 30 m. Whatever length is used it must be unbroken; namely, no splicing
allowed.
The antenna base is made of cast aluminum. To prevent electrolytic corrosion of the antenna
base, use the seal washers and corrosion-proof rubber mat.
Deposits and fumes from a funnel or other exhaust vent can adversely affect the aerial
performance and hot gases may distort the radiator portion. The antenna unit must not be
mounted where the temperature is more than 70°C.
Leave sufficient space around the unit for maintenance and servicing. See the antenna unit
outline drawing for recommended maintenance space.

How do I adjust the ratio settings for the Furuno FR-2115-B to ensure optimal performance?

To adjust the ratio settings for optimal performance on the Furuno FR-2115-B radar: 1. Turn on the power and press the [RADAR MENU] key five times while holding down the [HL OFF] key. 2. Restore default settings by pressing [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [0] [2] [0] [0] [0], selecting FACTORY DEFAULT, and pressing [ENTER] five times. 3. Adjust the video signal level by connecting an oscilloscope to TP6 on the INT Board and adjusting R21 to ensure TP6 value is 4 Vpp. 4. For remote display, adjust R134 on the INT Board. 5. For ARP board adjustment, turn GAIN, A/C SEA, and A/C RAIN controls fully counterclockwise, and adjust R104 on the ARP Board to read between 0.09 and 0.14 VDC. 6. Set controls as specified and adjust R103 on the ARP Board to control noise appearance on the display.

What steps should I take if the supply voltage settings do not match the recommended values for the Furuno FR-2115-B operation?

To address supply voltage settings not matching the recommended values for the Furuno FR-2115-B operation, follow these steps: 1. Open the INITIAL SETTING2 menu by pressing [RADAR MENU] [0] [0] [0] [2] [0]. 2. Select both the 5. SCANNER STOPPED field and the TX option by pressing [5] and then [ENTER]. 3. Disconnect connector P821 from the antenna unit and turn off the screen brightness. 4. Measure the voltage between pins #12(+) and #5 (-) on connector P801 on the RFC Board in the antenna unit. 5. If the voltage is not within the specified range, adjust potentiometer VR1 on the RFC Board. 6. Show the INITIAL SETTING 2 menu again, select ST-BY by pressing [5], and then press [ENTER].
