· Raymarine highly recommends certified installation by a Raymarine approved
installer. A certified installation qualifies for enhanced product warranty
benefits. Register your warranty on the Raymarine website:
www.raymarine.com/warranty
Warning: 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).
Warning: Positive ground systems
Do not connect this unit to a system which has positive grounding.
Warning: Power supply voltage
Connecting this product to a voltage supply greater than the specified maximum
rating may cause permanent damage to the unit. Refer to the product’s
information label for the correct voltage.
Warning: Switch off power supply
Ensure the vessel’s power supply is switched OFF before starting to install
this product. Do NOT connect or disconnect equipment with the power switched
on, unless instructed in this document.
Caution: Power supply protection
When installing this product ensure the power source is adequately protected
by means of a suitably-rated fuse or thermal circuit breaker.
Warning: High voltage
This product contains high voltage. Do NOT remove covers or attempt to access
internal components, unless specifically instructed in the documentation
provided.
Warning: Product grounding
Before applying power to this product, ensure it has been correctly grounded,
in accordance with the instructions provided.
Warning: Radar scanner safety
Before rotating the Radar scanner, ensure all personnel are clear.
Important information
9
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.

Important information
11
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.

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.

Installation
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

providing the power feed to the VCM100. · All power connections between the
VCM100 and the power source must have appropriate fuse
protection. · All power connections must be of high quality to minimize
resistance and to remove the risk
of accidental shorts. · The VCM100 SCREEN terminals must be connected to your
vessel’s RF ground system. · Do NOT connect the radar scanner or the VCM100 to
a positively-grounded power system. The following diagram illustrates the
power connections of the VCM100.
Power connections
61
1. POWER OUT (Positive) — connect to the RED wire of the Radar’s power cable.
2. POWER OUT (Negative) — connect to the BLACK wire of the Radar’s power
cable.
3. SCREEN — connect to the bare screen (drain) strands of the Radar’s power
cable.
4. SCREEN — connect to your vessel’s RF ground system.
5. POWER IN (Positive) — connect to the positive terminal of the DC
distribution panel or battery isolator switch.
6. POWER IN (Negative) — connect to the negative battery terminal.
7. EMERGENCY STOP (Switch) — if you have the optional VCM100 emergency stop
button, remove the wire bridging link from the VCM100 EMERGENCY STOP
terminals, and connect the emergency stop button SWITCH wire to the VCM100
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH terminal.
8. EMERGENCY STOP wire bridging link — only remove if fitting the optional
emergency stop button.
9. EMERGENCY STOP (Screen) — if you have the optional VCM100 emergency stop
button, remove the wire bridging link from the VCM100 EMERGENCY STOP
terminals, and connect the emergency stop button SCREEN (drain) wire to the
VCM100 EMERGENCY STOP SCREEN terminal.
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.

Note: If the required extensions result in unacceptably large diameter cables, use two or more smaller gauge wires to achieve the required copper wire cross- section. For example, using two pairs of 2 mm2 cables is equivalent to using two single 4 mm2 cables.
62
VCM100 screen (drain) wire extension
The screen (drain) wire can be extended for longer cable runs between the
VCM100 and your vessel’s RF ground system.
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.

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
