Making connections

Follow the steps below to connect the cable(s) to your product. If you intend to use the scanner’s Wi-Fi functionality to connect to your multifunction display, you need only connect a power cable to the scanner.
Note

If your vessel is already fitted with a combined power / data Digital Radar cable, you can use a Y-adapter (part number A80308) to connect the existing cable-end to the scanner’s connectors.

  1. Ensure that the vessel's power supply is switched off.
  2. Ensure that the multifunction display being connected to the scanner has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions supplied with that device.
  3. Ensure the power connector locking collar on the scanner is in the unlocked position.
  4. Route the power cable and optional data cable within the scanner base, as shown in the cable routing illustrations in this section. Cable routing depends on whether you mount the scanner on a platform or on a pole, and on whether you are using a Y-adapter to connect to an existing combined power / data Digital Radar cable.
  5. Ensure that the power cable connector is orientated so that the notch lines up with the guide in the connector.
  6. Push the power cable connector all the way into the scanner’s power connector.
  7. Rotate the locking collar clockwise until it is in the locked position (2 clicks).
  8. Push the optional data cable fully onto the corresponding connector on the scanner.
  9. If you are using a Y-adapter, make the final connection between the adapter and the existing combined power / data Digital Radar cable.
Note

When switching from a Wi-Fi connection to a wired connection for the Quantum Radar, you may encounter a connection issue if the Wi-Fi connection is established before the wired adaptor completes its initialization procedure. To resolve this issue, upgrade your Quantum unit to the latest software version, and then power cycle the unit.
