Radar Installation

WiFi connectivity


The Radar antenna connects via ethernet cable to a WiFi router (not included) to provide a stable signal. Through the WiFi router, the Radar antenna MDS-12  connects wirelessly to the plotter. 
Compatible with EXPLORER 23 WiFi and SWx series.

Tips for great performance


The Radar antenna can be installed either on top of the wheelhouse or on the radar mast on a suitable platform. 

  • Install the Radar antenna in clear view
  • A separation of  at least at two meters from the radio direction finder is suggested. 
  • Avoid routing the signal cable near other onboard electrical equipment. 
  • Avoid running the cable in parallel with power cables
  • The compass safe distance should be observed to prevent deviation of the magnetic compass.
