Important information

Warning: Radio frequency radiation hazard
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy at microwave frequencies which can be harmful, particularly to the eyes. Do NOT look at the scanner from close range. Ensure personnel are clear of the scanner when it is powered on. For safety reasons, the radar must be installed above head height, out of range of personnel.
Caution: Service and maintenance
This product contains no user serviceable components. Please refer all maintenance and repair to authorized Raymarine dealers. Unauthorized repair may affect your warranty.
Caution: Doppler “wagon-wheeling” effect
· There are limits to the maximum relative speed that the radar scanner can measure when processing Doppler targets. When the target is moving at high speeds these limits can result in a stroboscopic visual effect known as “wagon-wheeling” or “aliasing”.
· “Wagon-wheeling” refers to an optical illusion similar to that seen in some movies, where wagon wheels appear to occasionally rotate backwards. When using Doppler radar the effect occurs when the target is moving fast and the frequency of the transmit pulses, when the target is illuminated by the radar, is insufficient to distinguish whether the target is moving towards or away from the vessel.
· The result of this visual effect is that the direction of target returns from high speed vessels may be displayed incorrectly. Consequently, the displayed target colors may be inverted, with targets colored red when they should be green, and vice versa: ­ When the target’s speed is more than 60 knots Speed Over Ground (SOG), or the relative speed between your vessel and the target is greater than 120 knots, the target colors may be inverted as follows: Approaching objects are highlighted in green. Receding objects are highlighted in red.

EMC installation guidelines
Raymarine equipment and accessories conform to the appropriate Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) regulations, to minimize electromagnetic interference between equipment and minimize the effect such interference 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: · Raymarine equipment and cables connected to it are:
­ At least 1 m (3.3 ft) from any equipment transmitting or cables carrying radio signals e.g. VHF radios, cables and antennas. In the case of SSB radios, the distance should be increased to 2 m (6.6 ft).
­ More than 2 m (6.6 ft) from the path of a radar beam. A radar beam can normally be assumed to spread 25 degrees above and below the radiating element.
· The product is supplied from a separate battery from that used for engine start. This is important to prevent erratic behavior and data loss which can occur if the engine start does not have a separate battery.
· Raymarine 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 ensure the maximum possible separation between different items of electrical equipment, to provide the best conditions for EMC performance throughout the installation.
Suppression ferrites
· Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied with suppression ferrites. These are important for correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions.
· If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it must be replaced in the original position before the product is used.
· Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine or its authorized dealers. · Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to be added to a cable, additional cable clips should
be used to prevent stress on the connectors due to the extra weight of the cable.
Connections to other equipment
Requirement for ferrites on non-Raymarine cables If your Raymarine equipment is to be connected to other equipment using a cable not supplied by Raymarine, a suppression ferrite MUST always be attached to the cable near the Raymarine unit.
Compass safe distance
To prevent potential interference with the vessel’s magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance is maintained from the product. When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location for your product, ensure that the compass is not affected by the product when it is in a powered state.

3.1 Cyclone Open Array Radar
The Cyclone Open Array Radar is a Solid State open array radar. Cyclone provides a map-like representation of an extended area around your vessel, enabling you to identify birds, weather, other vessels, and land features such as coastlines and hills.
The Cyclone Open Array Radar includes the following features: · Solid-state technology (no magnetron) for improved efficiency, and rapid start-up. · Instrumented range up to 96 Nm (dependent on model and installation location). · Narrow horizontal beam widths for enhanced target separation. · CHIRP pulse compression for improved target range resolution, and reduced background noise. · Doppler target tracking technology. · Weather detection. · Radar image display and control via Raymarine multifunction display. · Real-time heading display. · MARPA for target tracking and collision avoidance. · Scanner rotation up to 60 RPM. · Data connection via RayNet cable. · 12 V or 24 V operation (with VCM100 power converter) · Waterproof to IPX 6.
Multiple radar scanners
You can use a maximum of two radar scanners at any one time, per networked system. For example, you can install, and simultaneously use: · A Cyclone Open Array radar, and another Raymarine radar (e.g. a Quantum Radome). · Two Cyclone Open Array radars. Note: You can use only one Quantum radome at any one time, per networked system. For important information on how to position multiple radar scanners to avoid interference between the scanners, refer to: p.37 — Multiple Radar scanners — location requirements
Doppler Radar overview
Doppler Radar technology makes it easier to track moving targets with significant ground speed exceeding 3 knots. Typically Doppler Radar works best with objects that are moving directly towards or away from the vessel. Doppler Radar can highlight only those targets that are moving relative to the vessel (e.g. other boats, but not land or buoys, for example).
24

Doppler Radar works by transmitting a microwave signal which is then reflected off a desired moving target at a distance. By analyzing how the object’s motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal, the Doppler Radar can interpret the variation to provide highly accurate measurements of a target’s direction of travel, relative to the Radar scanner.
Doppler Radar technology is particularly beneficial in a marine environment, where poor weather conditions and visibility can make target tracking difficult. Additionally, it is not always easy to interpret the information displayed by traditional Radar technology. With the integration of Doppler information, the process of matching on-screen radar returns with real-world objects becomes a much simpler task.
3.2 VCM100 Voltage Converter Module
The VCM100 Voltage Converter Module converts the source of direct current from your vessel’s power source to a safe level for the connected radar.
Important:
· The VCM100 is an essential component in your radar’s system and MUST be used to supply power to the Cyclone radar. The model number of the VCM100 that is suitable for use with the Cyclone Radar is: E70648.
· Do NOT use older versions of the VCM100 with your radar. The model number of the older VCM100 that is NOT suitable for use with the Cyclone Radar is: E52091.

Location requirements

33

6.1 Potential ignition source
This product is NOT approved for use in hazardous/flammable atmospheres. Do NOT install in a hazardous/flammable atmosphere (such as in an engine room or near fuel tanks).
6.2 Radar position overview
The optimum height for the Cyclone radar is a location that is high enough above the waterline to give a long range line-of-sight to the horizon, but not so high as to be adversely affected by the vessel’s pitching and rolling.
The scanner must also be mounted where it is: · Above head height. · Easily accessible. · As near as possible to the vessel’s centerline. · On a rigid and stable platform, capable of securely supporting the scanner under seagoing
conditions. · For GPS, ensure unobstructed view of the sky. Avoid large structures above the antenna. · Clear of large objects such as the flybridge, large engine stacks, searchlights, horns, masts etc. · Clear of heat and fumes. · At least 1 m (3 ft) from a magnetic compass or other scanners.
6.3 Radar scanner general location requirements
When selecting a location it is important to consider a number of factors. Horizontal position The radar scanner should be positioned as near as possible to your vessel’s centerline. Height The radar scanner should normally be mounted as high as practical above the waterline:
34

· Mount the scanner above head height out of range of personnel, to avoid mechanical danger and minimize exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
· Radar operates at the line-of-sight, so a high mounting position gives better long range performance.
· Surrounding large objects, in the same horizontal plane, can interfere with the radar signal and cause blind areas or shadow sectors and false targets on the radar display (see below).
Do not mount the radar scanner so high that it is affected by the pitching and rolling of the vessel.
Shadow areas and false echoes
Mount the radar scanner away from large structures or equipment, such as engine stacks, searchlights, horns, or masts. These objects may cause shadow areas and false echoes. For example, if you mount the radar scanner on a mast, echoes from other targets may be reflected from the mast. Wet sails may also cause shadow areas, so radar performance may be reduced in the rain. It is particularly important to avoid shadow areas near the bow. Raising or even lowering the radar scanner may help to reduce these effects.
In shadow areas beyond the obstruction there will be a reduction of the beam intensity. There may be a blind sector if the beam intensity is not sufficient to obtain an echo from an object. This may occur even at close range. For this reason the angular width and relative bearing of any shadow area must be determined at installation.
You may be able to detect shadow areas or false echoes on your multifunction display. For example, sea clutter can be used as a good indicator of blind arcs. Dark sectors on the radar display indicate possible shadowed areas. This information should be posted near the display unit and operators must be alert for targets in these blind areas.
Access
The radar scanner should be easily accessible to allow maintenance to be carried out safely. Sufficient clearance must be allowed to fully open the scanner unit for maintenance and service.
Mounting platform
The radar scanner must be mounted on a rigid and stable platform. The platform must be capable of supporting the mass and inertia of the radar scanner under seagoing conditions. The platform should not twist (causing bearing errors) or be subject to excessive vibration or shock.
The platform must be free-draining, to prevent the pooling of water beneath the radar scanner.
The mounting site must be clear of the following:
· Ropes.
· Standing rigging.
· Running rigging.
· Heat.
· Fumes.
· People.
Magnetic compass
Mount the radar scanner at least 1 m away from a magnetic compass.
Multiple radar scanners
If two radar scanners are installed at different locations in a dual radar system, care should be taken to allow for the difference in position of the radars when switching between the two on your multifunction display. This is especially noticeable at short ranges on larger vessels.
To reduce possible interference between radar scanners in a dual radar system:
· Maximise the spacing between the scanners.
· If possible, locate the scanners so that they are aligned vertically, one directly above the other, with a minimum of 2 metres vertical separation.
· If the scanners can’t be aligned one directly above the other, locate each scanner the same distance from the bow your vessel. Interference is more likely if the scanners are installed one in front of the other, even when separated vertically.

Location requirements

35

Cables · All cables should be adequately clamped and protected from physical damage and exposure to
heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects. · Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a watertight feed-through.
6.4 Compass safe distance
To prevent potential interference with the vessel’s magnetic compasses, ensure an adequate distance is maintained from the product. When choosing a suitable location for the product you should aim to maintain the maximum possible distance from any compasses. Typically this distance should be at least 1 m (3.3 ft) in all directions. However for some smaller vessels it may not be possible to locate the product this far away from a compass. In this situation, when choosing the installation location for your product, ensure that the compass is not affected by the product when it is in a powered state.
6.5 Radar scanner mounting angle
Ensure the Radar scanner rotates parallel to the water line. The Radar beam from the Radar scanner is approximately 25° wide in the vertical direction, 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 vessel is at cruising speed. This may raise the Radar’s main radiation angle, and can cause poor detection of nearby targets. It may be necessary to compensate for the bow rise to ensure optimum target detection. This can be achieved by fitting a wedge or washers between the mounting platform and the base of the Radar scanner, so that the Radar beam remains parallel to the water line when the vessel’s bow rises at cruising speed.
36

1. Wedge or washers

6.6 Multiple Radar scanners — location requirements
Important location considerations when installing multiple radar scanners on the same vessel.
· Scanners should be mounted above each other, vertically separated by at least 0.5 m (1.6 ft). This applies to all installation locations on the vessel.
· Multiple scanners should be mounted in a way that minimizes interference between the vertical beamwidths of the 2 scanners.
· In all cases, you should aim to achieve as much physical separation as possible, to minimize any potential interference.

6.7 VCM100 location requirements
When selecting a mounting location it is important to consider a number of factors.
Ventilation · Ensure that equipment is mounted in a compartment of suitable size. · Ensure that ventilation holes are not obstructed. Allow adequate separation of equipment.
Mounting surface Ensure equipment is adequately supported on a secure surface. Do not mount units or cut holes in places which may damage the structure of the vessel.
Cables Ensure the unit is mounted in a location which allows proper routing and connection of cables: · Minimum bend radius of 100 mm (3.94 in) unless otherwise stated. · Use cable supports to prevent stress on connectors. · The maximum length of cable between the battery and the VCM100 should not normally exceed
19.6 ft. (6 M). All power cable lengths should be kept as short as possible.
Water ingress The VCM100 is splashproof, and suitable for mounting below decks only.
Electrical interference Select a location that is far enough away from devices that may cause interference, such as motors, generators and radio transmitters/receivers.
Magnetic compass Mount the VCM100 at least 3 ft (1 m) away from a magnetic compass.

Location requirements

37

Power supply Select a location that is as close as possible to the vessel’s DC power source. This will help to keep cable runs to a minimum.

7.1 General cabling guidance
Cable types and length
It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length. · Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. · Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and
gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run).
Cable routing
Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize performance and prolong cable life. · Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a minimum bend diameter (Ø) of
200 mm (7.87 in) / minimum bend radius (R) of 100 mm (3.94 in).
· Protect 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.
· Secure cables in place using cable clips or cable ties. Coil any excess cable and tie it out of the way. · Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertight
feed-through. · Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights. · Always route data cables as far away as possible from:
­ other equipment and cables, ­ high current carrying AC and DC power lines, ­ antennas.
Strain relief
Use adequate strain relief for cabling to ensure that connectors are protected from strain and will not pull out under extreme sea conditions.
Circuit isolation
Appropriate circuit isolation is required for installations using both AC and DC current: · Always use isolating transformers or a separate power-inverter to run PC’s, processors, displays
and other sensitive electronic instruments or devices. · Always use an isolating transformer with Weather FAX audio cables. · Always use an isolated power supply when using a 3rd party audio amplifier. · Always use an RS232/NMEA converter with optical isolation on the signal lines.
40

· Always make sure that PC’s or other sensitive electronic devices have a dedicated power circuit.
Cable shielding
Ensure that cable shielding is not damaged during installation and that all cables are properly shielded.
Suppression ferrites
· Raymarine cables may be pre-fitted or supplied with suppression ferrites. These are important for correct EMC performance. If ferrites are supplied separately to the cables (i.e. not pre-fitted), you must fit the supplied ferrites, using the supplied instructions.
· If a ferrite has to be removed for any purpose (e.g. installation or maintenance), it must be replaced in the original position before the product is used.
· Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine or its authorized dealers. · Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to be added to a cable, additional cable clips should
be used to prevent stress on the connectors due to the extra weight of the cable.
7.2 Cyclone connections overview
The Cyclone Open Array Radar includes the following connectors:

1. Power connector — Connects to the Cyclone power cable 2. RayNet connector — Connects to a (RayNet) Radar data cable

7.3 Cable routing options
You can route the power cable and data cable away from the radar in different ways. The routing options allow for the cable to exit the radar in two different positions — the option you choose will depend on the radar mounting location.
1. Rear cable exit — if the radar is mounted on an extended flat surface, and the cable cannot be routed through the surface.

1. Mounting surface 2. Power and RayNet connectors 3. Power and RayNet cables
Through-surface cabling
In this mounting configuration, the Cyclone power and RayNet cables are passed through the mounting surface, via the cable exit aperture on the underside of the pedestal. Important: To prevent water ingress, the cable exit aperture on the underside of the pedestal must be completely sealed with a suitable marine-grade sealant or adhesive, as described in the following instructions:

1. Connect the power and RayNet cables to the pedestal. Do NOT supply power to the cables at
   this time.
   42

2. Before laying the cables in the exit channels on the underside of the pedestal, apply sealant to each of the cable exit channels at the point where the cables pass through them, as shown in (4) in the illustration below.
3. Lay the cables in the channels.
4. Pass the cables through the aperture on the underside of the pedestal, and then through the supplied cable gasket.
5. Push the cables fully into the slits in the cable gasket, as shown in the illustration below.
6. Apply sealant all around the cables at the point where they enter the gasket, as shown in (6) in the illustration below. Ensure 360° coverage all around the cable entries.
7. Carefully insert the cable gasket into position in the underside of the pedestal.
8. Seal all around both the top and bottom perimeters of the cable gasket, as shown in (7), to ensure a watertight seal with the pedestal. Take care to avoid disturbing the sealant around the cable entries.

51

Radar scanner protection — sailing vessels Additional considerations apply when installing the Radar scanner on a sailing vessel. · When mounting the Radar scanner unit 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
should be attached to the mast if the sails or rigging contact either the Radar scanner unit or the mounting bracket. Without a proper Radar guard, serious damage can result to the Radar mounting bracket and the Radar itself. In extreme cases, such damage could result in the Radar scanner unit being pulled off the mast. Therefore, it is recommended that a Radar scanner guard should be mounted additionally and separately to the Radar scanner mounting bracket. · To prevent the risk of the Radar scanner unit falling in the event that it has been damaged, the security lanyard supplied with the mast bracket MUST be secured properly to the mast and to the Radar scanner unit, according to the instructions provided with the bracket. If a safety lanyard is not supplied with the mounting bracket, contact your local dealer for appropriate parts. Do NOT attach other equipment to either the Radar scanner unit or the bracket. · Raymarine strongly recommends that you check the condition and security of the bracket mounting feet, the security lanyard(s), the Radar scanner guard, and the Radar scanner unit itself, on a yearly basis (or more frequently depending on environmental applications). Any fittings should be replaced as appropriate.
Mounting the VCM100
Before mounting the unit, ensure that you have: · Selected a suitable location. See p.33 — Location requirements
Important: The VCM100 is splashproof, and suitable for mounting below decks only.
· Identified the cable connections and route that the cables will take.
Important: Do NOT connect any cables to the power supply until the following steps have been completed.
52

1. Check the selected location for the unit. The VCM100 requires a clear, flat area with suitable space for routing the cables below the unit.
2. Hold the VCM100 in place in the required mounting location.
3. Using a pencil, mark the drilling area inside the mounting lug on each side of the VCM100 unit.

VCM100 power cable extension

The power cable can be extended for longer cable runs between the VCM100 and your vessel’s DC distribution panel or battery isolator switch.
If you need to extend the power cable, use a splash proof junction box. The junction box should provide a terminal strip with sufficient space for power connections. The terminal strip should be a minimum of 30 Amp rating for power cores. It is essential that both power cores and the screen (drain) are connected and that the connection is of very low resistance as considerable power passes through this connection.
The following table provides recommended total power cable lengths and gauges. These figures relate to the maximum round-trip length of power cables from the battery or DC distribution panel to the VCM100. Exceeding these lengths may cause unreliable operation.

Extensions to the screen (drain) wire should use an 8 mm braid or AWG 10 (5.26 mm2) multi-stranded cable.

Circuit breaker and fuse ratings

Battery isolator switch, thermal breaker, and fuse ratings.

All power connections between the VCM100 and its power source MUST be protected by a thermal circuit breaker or in-line fuse, fitted close to the power connection. The connection from the output of the VCM100 to the radar pedestal does not require a fuse or circuit breaker.

If you do not have a thermal circuit breaker or fuse in your power circuit (fitted to the DC distribution panel, for example), you MUST fit an in-line breaker or fuse to the positive wire of the power cable.

The following table provides suitable ratings for battery isolator switches, circuit breakers, and fuses.

Warning: Radar transmission safety
The radar scanner transmits electromagnetic energy. Ensure all personnel are clear of the scanner when the radar is transmitting.
Checking the radar — RayNet displays
These instructions apply to multifunction displays running LightHouseTM 3 software. 1. Select a Radar page.
The `Off/Not Connected’ message is displayed. 2. Select On to power up your radar.
This process will take approximately 70 seconds. The scanner should now be transmitting and receiving. 3. Check that the radar screen is operating correctly.
66

Typical radar screen
Points to check: · Radar sweep with echo responses are shown on screen. · Radar status icon rotating in top right hand corner.
Check and adjust bearing alignment
Bearing alignment The Radar bearing alignment ensures that Radar objects appear at the correct bearing relative to your boat’s bow. You should check the bearing alignment for any new installation.

System checks

67

Example misaligned Radar
1. Target object (such as a buoy) dead ahead. 2. Target displayed on the Radar display is not aligned with the Ship’s Heading Marker (SHM).
Bearing alignment is required. Checking the bearing alignment 1. With your vessel under way: Align the bow with a stationary object identified on the Radar display
An object between 1 & 2 NM distant is ideal. 2. Note the position of the object on the Radar display. If the target is not under the ships heading
marker (SHM), there is an alignment error and you will need to carry out bearing alignment adjustment. Adjusting the bearing alignment These instructions apply to multifunction displays running LightHouseTM 3 software. Once you have checked the bearing alignment you can proceed and make any required adjustments. With the radar app displayed, adjust the Bearing alignment setting until the target object appears under the SHM. Bearing alignment setting can be accessed from the Installation tab: Menu > Installation > Bearing alignment.
