• Radar tests and alignment. • Chartplotter checks. • Fishfinder checks. If your C-Series Display is part of an integrated system, it is strongly advised that the radar checks are carried out before connecting the other systems. The Screen The display screen uses a combination of ‘pages’ and ‘windows’ to show you the applications.
C-Series Displays Installation Manual WARNING:Electromagnetic energy The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure that the scanner has been installed according to the recommendations in the relevant scanner handbook. Ensure all personnel are clear of the scanner, before switching to transmit mode.
Chapter 3: System Tests and Alignment Alignment checks With the radar transmitting correctly, the system should now be aligned as follows: Bearing alignment To adjust the bearing alignment, you need to select a visible target of known bearing that is displayed on the radar, and then adjust the radar set up as necessary until the correct bearing reading is obtained.
The display timing can be affected by the length of cable used to connect the scanner to your C-Series Display. This will in turn affect the short range accuracy of the radar. a symptom of incorrect timing is that bridges or piers shown on the picture appear to be bowed.
Heading data Accurate heading data is required for accurate generation of MARPA and radar/chart overlay functions. We recommend the use of a Raymarine Smartpilot S1, S2 or S3 course computer or smart heading sensor for obtaining this information. 3.3 Advanced Settings...
