Raymarine approved installer. A certified installation qualifies for enhanced product warranty benefits. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further details, and refer to the separate warranty document packed with your product. Warning: Product installation and operation · This product must be installed and operated in accordance with the instructions provided. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, damage to your vessel and/or poor product performance. · Raymarine recommends certified installation by a Raymarine approved installer. A certified installation qualifies for enhanced product warranty benefits. Contact your Raymarine dealer for further details, and refer to the separate warranty document packed with your product. 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 Technical specification section for voltage rating. 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 automatic 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: 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. Important information 9 Warning: Quantum Wi-Fi connection During installation there will usually be structure that affects the Wi-Fi signal. Before using the Radar for navigation, ensure you test the reliability of your Wi-Fi connection in open waters and away from any other vessels or structure. 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. Transmitted power density levels · A power density level of 10 W/m2 does not occur at any point. · A power density level of 100 W/m2 does not occur at any point. IEEE statement IEEE C95.1 2005 Standard for Safety Levels with respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. ICNIRP Guidelines When properly installed and operated, the use of this Radar conforms to: ICNIRP Guidelines 1998 International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection: Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and electro-magnetic fields (up to 300 GHz) 1998. 10 Water ingress Water ingress disclaimer Although the waterproof rating capacity of this product meets the stated water ingress protection standard (refer to the product's Technical Specification), water intrusion and subsequent equipment failure may occur if the product is subjected to high-pressure washing.

Raymarine is not responsible for damages or injuries caused by your use or inability to use the product, by the interaction of the product with products manufactured by others, or by errors in information utilized by the product supplied by third parties. 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 20 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. 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.

Document and product information 17 2.3 Product overview The QuantumTM 2 Doppler Radome is a compact, solid-state Radar scanner, utilizing Doppler technology for target tracking, CHIRP pulse compression for improved range resolution, and Wi-Fi connectivity for easier installation. In conjunction with a compatible multifunction display, the QuantumTM 2 Doppler scanner provides a map-like representation of the area around your vessel, enabling you to identify other vessels, buoys, and land features such as coastlines and hills. The QuantumTM 2 Doppler Radome has the following features: · Solid-state technology (no magnetron) for improved efficiency, and rapid start-up. · Range performance up to 24 nm (dependent on installation location). · Doppler target tracking technology. · CHIRP pulse compression for improved target range resolution, and reduced background noise. · Wireless data connection via Wi-Fi, or wired connection via RayNet cable. · Radar image display and control via Raymarine multifunction display. · 24 RPM scanner rotation. · Low power consumption. · 12 V or 24 V operation. · Waterproof to IPX 6. Multiple Quantum Radar scanners Only 1 (one) QuantumTM Radar scanner can be used at any one time, per networked system. If you have more than one QuantumTM Radar scanner installed on your vessel and want to use them at the same time, the multifunction displays to which the scanners are connected must NOT be networked together. This applies to QuantumTM scanners connected either wired or wirelessly. For more information, refer to: p.71 -- Multiple Quantum Radars -- more information 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). 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. 18 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.

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. · Clear of large objects such as the flybridge, large engine stacks, searchlights, horns, masts etc. (see p.30 -- Shadow areas and false echoes for additional information). · Clear of heat and fumes. · At least 1 m (3 ft) from a magnetic compass or other scanners. 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 30 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. Radar scanner mounting angle Ensure the Radar scanner rotates parallel to the water line. The Radar beam from the Radar scanner is approximately 20° 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. Planning the installation 31 Item 1 Description Wedge or washers 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. 3.9 Quantum Wi-Fi only installation requirements Whilst the Wi-Fi performance has been tested and proven in many different installation scenarios, the requirements below must be taken into consideration before choosing a location for the QuantumTM Radar. In systems with multiple MFDs, the Radar should be connected to the MFDs that are located closest to it, or to the MFDs with the clearest line of sight to the Radar. The maximum distance between MFD and Radar will vary depending on the installation environment (i.e. obstructions and interference). 32 Example 1 -- Open air, line-of-sight in optimum conditions In optimum open air, clear line-of-sight conditions a reliable connection is possible at distances up to 100 m (328 ft). However, there are many factors that can influence this, so a pre-installation site survey should always be performed. For reliable Wi-Fi performance the signal strength should be better than 75dBm. The closer the signal is to zero the better the Wi-Fi performance will be (e.g. 40dBm is better than 75dBm). You can assess the potential signal strength at the desired location during the Pre-installation Site Survey using a Wi-Fi Analyzer app on your smart device. Example 2 -- Signal passing through Fiberglass coach roof In the example above the maximum distance with acceptable Wi-Fi performance is 15 m (49 ft), due to the heavy fiberglass coach roof that the signal has to pass through. Example 3 -- Signal passing through heavy structure In the example above the maximum distance with acceptable Wi-Fi performance is 3 m (9.8 ft), due to the metal roof that the signal has to pass through. Planning the installation 33 Obstacles in the direct line of sight between the Radar and MFD will further impact Wi-Fi Performance. The impact of each obstacle is usually minimal, however the effect is cumulative. Obstacles can include but are not limited to: · Vessel structure -- Where the Wi-Fi signal passes through a vessel bulkhead or a coach roof, the Wi-Fi performance will be impacted. Depending on the material and thickness of the structure the impact may be severe; for example, a thick steel bulkhead may completely block the Wi-Fi signal. · Radar mounting -- The type of installation can impact performance; for example, mounting on a solid steel platform will have a greater impact on performance than mounting on a bar-style mount. · Electrical equipment and other objects -- Any object in the direct line-of-sight between the Radar and MFD can impact Wi-Fi performance. Electrical, electronic and electromagnetic devices will have a greater impact than furniture. · MFD installation -- MFD installation can also impact Wi-Fi performance; for example, if the MFD is surface mounted in a steel construction dash, the Wi-Fi performance will be impacted. Wi-Fi Signal Reflection When establishing a location for your Quantum Radar, that will be connected using a Wi-Fi connection, it is important to consider the effects your surroundings can have on the Wi-Fi signal. The Wi-Fi signal will reflect or `bounce' off nearby objects which may create an easier path for the signal to take, whilst your connection may appear reliable it may quickly degrade when you take your vessel out into open water. Example 1. In this example the Wi-Fi signal is bounced off a nearby vessel and back through the windows on the bridge, this provides an easier path than passing through the metal roof. 2. In this example the Wi-Fi signal is reduced when passing through the metal roof. This, however may be the only path the signal can take when out in open water. 34 Warning: Quantum Wi-Fi connection During installation there will usually be structure that affects the Wi-Fi signal. Before using the Radar for navigation, ensure you test the reliability of your Wi-Fi connection in open waters and away from any other vessels or structure. Wireless location requirements A number of factors can influence wireless performance. It is important to ensure you test the connection performance at the desired location before installing wireless-enabled products. Distance The distance between wireless products should always be kept to a minimum. Do not exceed the maximum stated range of your wireless product (maximum range will vary for each device). Wireless performance degrades over distance, so products farther away will receive less network bandwidth. Products installed close to their maximum wireless range may experience slow connection speeds, signal dropouts, or not being able to connect at all. Line of sight For best results the wireless product should have a clear, direct line of sight to the product it will be connected to. Any physical obstructions can degrade or even block the wireless signal. The construction of your vessel can also have an impact on wireless performance. For example, metal structural bulkheads and roofing will reduce -- and in certain situations -- block the wireless signal. If the wireless signal passes through a bulkhead containing power cables this can also degrade wireless performance. Reflective surfaces such as metal surfaces, some types of glass and even mirrors can drastically affect performance or even block the wireless signal. Interference and other equipment Wireless products should be installed at least 1m (3 ft) away from: · Other wireless-enabled products. · Transmitting products that send wireless signals in the same frequency range. · Other electrical, electronic or electromagnetic equipment that may generate interference. Interference from other people's wireless devices can also cause interference with your products. You can use a third-party wireless analyzer tool / smartphone app to assess the best wireless channel to use (e.g. a channel not in use or one used by the least number of devices). Planning the installation 35 Pre-installation site survey -- Wi-Fi Analyzer Before installing a Quantum Radar, that will be connected using Wi-Fi, a site survey should be performed to ensure the Wi-Fi Signal strength is sufficient to maintain a reliable connection. It is recommended that you perform the site survey using a smart device and a Wi-Fi Analyzer app (e.g. Wi-Fi Analyzer by Farproc for android devices). 1. Install the Wi-Fi Analyzer app on your smart device. 2. Enable your MFDs Wi-Fi connection: (Homescreen > Set-up > Wireless connection > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi: On) 3. Make a note of the MFDs Wi-Fi Name (Homescreen > Set-up > Wireless connection > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Sharing > Wi-Fi Name). 4. Go to the location you have chosen for your Radar. 5. Open the Wi-Fi Analyzer app on your smart device and scan available networks. 6. Establish the signal strength of your MFDs Wi-Fi network at the intended install location. For reliable Wi-Fi performance the signal strength should be better than 75dBm, the closer the signal is to zero the better the Wi-Fi performance will be (e.g. 40dBm is better than 75dBm). 7. If you have a weak or intermittent signal then you will need to investigate further, please refer to the Wi-Fi location requirements guide to help establish what may be causing the problem. 8. For networks with multiple MFDs, repeat steps 2 to 7 for each MFD in your network. 36 Pre-installation site survey -- Raymarine app You can also use Raymarine apps such as RayControl or RayView to assess the reliability of the Wi-Fi connection at the desired installation location. 1. Enable your MFDs Wi-Fi connection: (Homescreen > Set-up > Wireless connection > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi: On) 2. Enable `Viewing only' or `Remote control' from the Mobile apps menu: (Homescreen > Set-up > Wireless connection > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Sharing > Mobile apps). 3. Make a note of the MFDs Wi-Fi Name (Homescreen > Set-up > Wireless connection > Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Sharing > Wi-Fi Name). 4. Go to the location you have chosen for your Radar. 5. Using your smart device, search for available Wi-Fi networks. 6. Find your MFDs network and check the signal strength reported by your device. 7. If you have a strong signal strength, open a Raymarine mobile app such as RayView or RayControl and check functionality at the desired location. If you do not experience any performance issues running the app then you can proceed with the installation. 8. If you have a weak or intermittent signal then you will need to investigate further, please refer to the Wi-Fi location requirements guide to help establish what may be causing the problem. 9. For networks with multiple MFDs, repeat steps 1 to 9 for each MFD in your network. Wi-Fi signal strength Wi-Fi signal strength is measured in decibel-milliwatts (dBm). The signal strength of the network you are currently connected to is usually represented graphically by a Wi-Fi symbol. The signal strength range represented by each filled bar is determined independently by each device manufacturer. However, in general the performance will be similar. Planning the installation 37 · 1/4 -- Unable to maintain a connection, usually accompanied by very poor connection speed (LightHouseTM MFD: 150dBm or worse). · 2/4 -- Intermittent disconnects and reconnects, usually accompanied by a slow connection speed (LightHouseTM MFD: 80dBm to 149dBm). · 3/4 -- Reliable connection with good connection speed (LightHouseTM MFD: 70dBm to 79dBm). · 4/4 -- Reliable connection, excellent connection speed (LightHouseTM MFD: 55dBm or better). 38 Chapter 4: Cables and connections Chapter contents · 4.1 General cabling guidance on page 40 · 4.2 Connections overview on page 41 · 4.3 Power connection on page 47 · 4.4 Network connection on page 51 Cables and connections 39 4.1 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. 4.2 Connections overview Use the following information to help you identify the connections on your product.

Existing combined Digital Radar power / data cable. 46 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. 4.3 Power connection Note: A Y-adapter cable (part number A80308) is available for existing installations that already use a combined power/data cable from a Digital or HD Color Radome. The Y-adapter splits the existing combined cable into the separate data and power connectors used by the scanner. Item 1 2 3 4 Description Connects to: Power cable. Product's power connector.

Battery connection scenario A: Suitable for a vessel with a common RF ground point. In this scenario, if your product's power cable is supplied with a separate drain wire then it should be connected to the vessel's common ground point. Battery connection scenario B: Suitable for a vessel without a common grounding point. In this case, if your product's power cable is supplied with a separate drain wire then it should be connected directly to the battery's negative terminal. Power cable extension If you need to extend the length of the power cable supplied with your product, ensure you observe the following advice: · The power cable for each unit in your system should be run as a separate, single length of 2-wire cable from the unit to the vessel's battery or distribution panel. · Ensure that the extension cable is of a sufficient gauge for the supply voltage and the total load of the device and the length of the cable run. Refer to the following table for typical minimum power cable wire gauges. Cable length in meters (feet) Wire gauge in AWG (mm2) for Wire gauge in AWG (mm2) for 12 V supply 24 V supply <8 (<25) 16 (1.31 mm2) 18 (0.82 mm2) 16 (50) 14 (2.08 mm2) 18 (0.82 mm2) 24 (75) 12 (3.31 mm2) 16 (1.31 mm2) >32 (>100) 10 (5.26 mm2) 16 (1.31 mm2) Important: Be aware that some products in your system (such as sonar modules) can create voltage peaks at certain times, which may impact the voltage available to other products during the peaks. 50 Important: To ensure power cables (including any extension) are of a sufficient gauge, ensure that there is a continuous minimum voltage of 10.8 V dc at the end of the cable where it enters the product's power connector, even with a fully flat battery at 11 V dc. (Do not assume that a flat battery is at 0 V dc. Due to the discharge profile and internal chemistry of batteries, the current drops much faster than the voltage. A "fully flat" battery still shows a positive voltage, even if it doesn't have enough current to power your device.) Grounding Ensure that you observe any additional grounding advice provided in the product's documentation. More information It is recommended that best practice is observed in all vessel electrical installations, as detailed in the following standards: · BMEA Code of Practice for Electrical and Electronic Installations in Boats · NMEA 0400 Installation Standard · ABYC E-11 AC & DC Electrical Systems on Boats · ABYC A-31 Battery chargers and Inverters · ABYC TE-4 Lightning Protection Warning: Grounding not required This product is fully insulated and does NOT require separate grounding. 4.4 Network connection The scanner must be connected to a compatible Raymarine multifunction display (MFD), either via Wi-Fi, or via a physical RayNet cable connection.

Drill 3 mm pilot holes in the four positions shown on the template. 3. Drill out the pilot holes to 10 mm diameter. Mounting 57 4. Place the QuantumTM scanner in position. If you are fitting it on a planing vessel, shim the rear of the scanner, so that the beam points slightly down in the forward direction when the boat is at rest, to compensate for the bow rising at cruising speed Item 1 2 Description Mounting platform, non-planing boat (level install) Mounting platform, planing boat (typical planing angle shown) 5. Before securing the scanner to the mounting platform, connect the power cable (and optionally a data cable), ensuring that all cables are routed appropriately. Refer to p.41 -- Connections overview for further information about making connections, and cable routing. 6. Ensuring that the bolts have a minimum insertion in the scanner base of 16 mm (0.63 in.), and a maximum of 22 mm (0.87 in.) (allowing for washers), secure the scanner with the 4 bolts, flat 58 washers and spring washers provided, as illustrated. If necessary, use appropriate shims or extra washers to limit the length of bolt entering the scanner base. 7. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 15 N·m (11 lbf·ft). Mounting 59 8. Attach a safety lanyard (not supplied) to your vessel, and secure the free end to the scanner using the attachment point shown in the following illustration: Item 1 Description Safety lanyard attachment point. Note: If you are installing the Radar scanner on a sailing vessel, additional protection for the Radar scanner may be required. Refer to p.61 -- Radar scanner protection -- sailing vessels. Multiple Quantum Radar scanners Only 1 (one) QuantumTM Radar scanner can be used at any one time, per networked system. If you have more than one QuantumTM Radar scanner installed on your vessel and want to use them at the same time, the multifunction displays to which the scanners are connected must NOT be networked together. This applies to QuantumTM scanners connected either wired or wirelessly. For more information, refer to: p.71 -- Multiple Quantum Radars -- more information 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. 60 5.3 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 after 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. The following illustration shows an example of an installation featuring a Radar scanner fitted to a typical mounting bracket, a Radar guard attached to the mast (separately to the Radar mounting bracket), and safety lanyards: Mounting 61 1. Example of a typical safety lanyard. 2. Example of a typical Radar scanner guard, attached to the mast independently of the Radar mounting bracket. Note: The Radar guard shown in the illustration above is provided as an example only. The exact design and positioning of the Radar guard is wholly dependent on the nature of your vessel, sailplan, and installation environment. For example, for some vessels it is appropriate to locate the guard above the Radar scanner; for other vessels, it may be more appropriate to fit it below the scanner. Raymarine does not supply Radar guards but recommends that you select a guard that is attached directly to the mast and is completely separate to the Radar mounting bracket. It may be necessary to have a Radar guard custom designed to suit your specific vessel and installation environment. Please contact your local dealer for further advice. 62 Chapter 6: System checks and troubleshooting Chapter contents · 6.1 Post installation procedures on page 64 · 6.2 Troubleshooting on page 68 System checks and troubleshooting 63 6.1 Post installation procedures Before using the product, carry out the following: · Mechanical checks. · Switch on and initial setup. Mechanical checks Before switching on the product: · Ensure that: All securing bolts are fully tightened and the appropriate mechanical locking washers are in place.

Connecting to a Radar scanner over RayNet Once you've made all the relevant power and data connections as described in the Cables and connections section, you can use the Radar application on a compatible display to conduct further initial tests. For detailed instructions on how to conduct the initial tests, refer to the Radar application chapter of the Operations handbook for your display. Powering on a Quantum Radar With the radar scanner in a powered off state, and connected to a compatible multifunction display (MFD): 1. On the MFD, launch the Radar application. A message box is displayed indicating that a Radar scanner is off or "not connected". 2. Select On from the onscreen message box. The Radar will power up in Standby mode. 3. Once the Radar has powered up, select Tx to start the Radar transmitting. Radar returns will now be displayed onscreen. Pairing with a Quantum Radar using Wi-Fi If your Radar scanner supports a Wi-Fi connection, you can connect to a LightHouseTM MFD which also supports Wi-Fi. During pairing, the Wi-Fi credentials of all MFDs with Wi-Fi switched on are sent to the Quantum Radar. At subsequent power cycles the Quantum Radar will automatically connect to the MFD with the strongest signal. Note: 1. During initial set up you will have 60 minutes (for Quantum Doppler software versions 2.43 or later) or 10 minutes (for earlier Quantum Doppler software versions) in which to connect the Radar to your MFD. After this time, if no connection is made, the Radar will automatically go to Sleep. If this occurs, power cycle the Radar to bring it out of Sleep mode and establish a connection. 2. Networked MFDs that only have their Wi-Fi enabled after the initial pairing period, will send Wi-Fi credentials to the Radar when their Wi-Fi is switched on. 1. Apply power to your MFD(s). 2. Power on and then enable the Wi-Fi connection to the MFDs which have the strongest signal, as identified during the p.36 -- pre-installation site survey. Usually these will be the MFDs closest to and / or with the clearest line of sight to the Radar). 3. Apply power to your Radar scanner. 4. Select Quantum Radar from the settings menu on the MFD: i. On LightHouse 3 MFD: Homescreen > Settings > This display (tab) > Pair with Quantum. 5. If prompted, select OK to enable your MFD's Wi-Fi connection. 64 6. Enter the passcode (e.g. 901589f5) in the Passcode field. Refer to p.66 -- Retain your Wi-Fi Passcode for details on locating your SSID and Passcode. LightHouse 3 connection screen: Important: · Ensure that the SSID and Passcode are entered exactly as shown on the serial number label that was supplied with the Radar. · The SSID is always made up of the word "Quantum", followed by an underscore "_", followed by the product's 7 digit serial number, (e.g. Quantum_1234567). 7. Select Connect. The initial connection can take up to 2 minutes to complete. If the connection does not complete within 2 minutes, power cycle the Radar and repeat Steps 4 to 7. 8. Select OK from the Successful Connection pop-up. 9. Open a Radar application page. 10. Check that the reported Radar on the power / transmit pop-up is the Radar that you have just paired with. 11. If the correct Radar is reported, select Tx (Transmit). 12. If the reported Radar is not the Radar scanner you just paired with, select the correct Radar from the Radar application menu: Menu > Select Radar: and then select Tx (Transmit). The Radar image can be displayed on all networked MFDs. MFD access point connection when connected to Quantum Wi-Fi Depending on you MFD variant, you may be restricted from connecting your MFD to a Wi-Fi access point, if a Quantum Radar that is connected using Wi-Fi is currently transmitting on the system. a, c, e, gS Series and Axiom MFDs CANNOT connect to a Wi-Fi access point if there is a transmitting Wi-Fi connected Quantum Radar in the system. To connect these MFDs to a Wi-Fi access point the Quantum Radar must be placed in Standby mode first. eS Series and Axiom Pro MFDs CAN connect to a Wi-Fi access point at the same time as being connected to a transmitting Wi-Fi connected Quantum Radar. System checks and troubleshooting 65 Standby and sleep modes for Wi-Fi connections The radar scanner has 2 modes which may initially prevent you from successfully pairing the radar to an MFD via Wi-Fi, in the event that the Wi-Fi connection between the 2 devices is lost. These modes are part of the scanner's normal operation, but it's important to understand how these modes can potentially impact the pairing process. · Sleep mode -- If the connection to the MFD is lost while the scanner is in Standby mode, the scanner will switch to Sleep mode within 30 minutes. When the connection to the MFD is restored, return the scanner to Standby mode using the Power up Radar option on the MFD's Shortcut screen, accessible by momentarily pressing the MFD's Power button. · Standby mode -- If the connection to the MFD is lost while the scanner is in Transmit mode, the scanner will switch to Standby mode within 5 seconds. When the connection to the MFD is restored, return the scanner to Transmit mode using the Radar: Tx option on the MFD's Shortcut screen. For a full description of all the Radar modes and associated on-screen status symbols, refer to the Radar scanner status symbols topic in the Radar application chapter of your MFD's Operations handbook. Retain your Wi-Fi passcode To connect to the Radar using Wi-Fi (wireless), you will need to know the unit's SSID, and Passcode. Both the SSID and Passcode are provided on the serial number label on the underside of the unit, and on spare serial number labels supplied in the box. You may wish to make a separate note of this information and keep in a secure location. You should also keep the Radar scanner packaging in a safe place for future reference. The following information is applicable only to Quantum units running software version 1.62 or later, and Quantum Doppler units running software version 2.43 or later: In the event that you misplace the SSID and Passcode before the initial pairing, you can power on your Quantum unit and determine the SSID by reviewing all available Wi-Fi networks, using a smartphone, tablet or laptop PC. An unpaired Quantum unit will advertise its SSID periodically in a 10-second cycle. This may take up to 3 minutes. Once you've obtained the SSID, the next step is to contact p.78 -- Raymarine product support, who can then provide you with the passcode associated with your SSID. Operation instructions For detailed operation instructions for your product, refer to the documentation that accompanies your display. All product documentation is available to download from the Raymarine website: www.raymarine.com/manuals. Doppler data source requirements Use of the Doppler Radar features requires the following data sources to be available on your system (e.g. connected to your multifunction display, via SeaTalkng ® or NMEA 0183). Required data sources Data type COG (Course Over Ground) SOG (Speed Over Ground) Example data source GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal receiver or external receiver). GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal receiver or external receiver). Recommended data source Data type HDG / HDT (True Heading) Example data source Compass or Autopilot sensor providing Fastheading data (e.g. Evolution EV-1 / EV-2). Note: A Heading data source is not essential for Doppler operation. However it will improve the performance of Doppler mode at slower speeds (< 15 knots), when tide set and leeway are present. 66 Radar target acquisition data source requirements Radar target acquisition requires the following data sources to be available on your system (e.g. connected to your multifunction display, via SeaTalkng ® or NMEA 0183). Data type Example data source COG (Course Over Ground) GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal receiver or external receiver). SOG (Speed Over Ground) GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal receiver or external receiver). HDG / HDT (True Heading) Compass or Autopilot sensor providing Fastheading data (e.g. Evolution EV-1 / EV-2). Bearing alignment The Radar bearing alignment ensures that Radar objects appear at the correct bearing relative to your vessel's bow. You should check the bearing alignment for any new installation. Checking alignment Align the bow with a stationary object between 0.25 and 2 NM away. Reduce the gain to make the target as small as possible on the screen. Note the position of the object on the Radar screen. If the target is not under the ship's heading marker (SHM), then bearing alignment adjustment is required. Adjusting alignment 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. Note: Heading (HDG) is displayed in the Radar application. Please be aware that bearing alignment refers to the relative bearing of targets to the vessel's bow using visual checks / traditional means. Heading alignment For systems with a compass providing heading data, it is important to ensure correct heading alignment. Correct alignment ensures that the heading data provided by the compass matches the actual heading of the vessel. You should check the heading alignment for any new installation. Checking alignment Open the Chart application on the MFD and enable the Radar layer: Menu > Settings > Layers. While the vessel is stationary (e.g. tied to a dock), orient the vessel's bow to a known bearing. Examples include: · navigational range markers; · a correctly calibrated fluid-filled compass onboard the vessel; · other fixed marks from which an accurate heading can be obtained. Alternatively, another option for checking heading alignment is to align the compass to the Course Over Ground (COG) data provided by a GPS receiver, while your vessel is underway in calm conditions where there is no tide. Use the Radar and Chart displays to confirm the heading alignment. The on-screen icon representing your vessel should be oriented in exactly the same direction as the known bearing (e.g. navigational range marker). Adjusting alignment If the heading alignment is incorrect it may be necessary to re-calibrate the compass. It is also possible that the compass is affected by sources of magnetic interference (such as marine pontoons, high current carrying cables, or electric motors). In this case it will be necessary to re-linearize the compass to compensate for magnetic interference. In extreme cases it may be necessary to re-locate the compass away from sources of magnetic interference. For instructions on how to re-calibrate and/or re-linearize the compass, consult the compass manual.

Open the Radar app on the MFD and confirm that the Radar is transmitting. 6. Re-enable the MFD's Wi-Fi connection. Note: For the latest software, refer to: www.raymarine.com/software System checks and troubleshooting 69 Symptom Displayed bearing is different to the true bearing. "Failed to update wired adaptor" error during Quantum software update Action Note: If at some point in the future you decide to revert to the wireless (Wi-Fi) connection, refer to the pairing procedure: . Carry out the bearing alignment procedure described in the MFD Operations manual. Note: Heading (HDG) is displayed in the Radar application on the multifunction display (MFD). Please be aware that bearing alignment refers to the relative bearing of targets to the vessel's bow using visual checks / traditional means. Note: The following information does NOT apply to the Wi-Fi-only Quantum variant (E70344). A small number of Quantum units fail to retain the unit's serial number in the onboard memory. While this does not affect the normal operation or performance of the radar in any way, it is necessary to fix the issue for warranty and servicing purposes: · If your MFD is running LightHouse 3, you can fix this issue by upgrading your Quantum unit to the latest available software version. Then power cycle the Quantum unit. · If your MFD is running LightHouse 2, return the Quantum unit to Raymarine Service to have the serial number restored. 70 Doppler troubleshooting Symptom Example Doppler coloration is incorrect. In the following example, stationary targets such as land are colored red or green when under way. Action 1. Check bearing alignment, as described in this document and the MFD Operations manual. 2. At low speeds (< 15 knots) and if a source of Heading data is available on the system, the compass alignment may be incorrect. Check the compass alignment, as described in the manual for the relevant Heading (compass) device. Multiple Quantum Radars -- more information Only 1 (one) QuantumTM Radar scanner can be powered at any one time, per networked system. · It is possible to have 1 QuantumTM + 1 NON-Quantum Raymarine Digital radar scanner powered at the same time, on the same networked system. · It is NOT possible to have 2 QuantumTM Radar scanners connected via Wi-Fi powered at the same time, on the same networked system, or a single standalone display. While it is technically possible to power up 2 QuantumTM radar scanners connected via Wi-Fi separately to 2 standalone (non-networked) displays, or 2 displays which each belong to a different RayNet network, this configuration is NOT recommended. There may be Wi-Fi radio interference between 2 QuantumTM radars operating at the same time. · It is NOT recommended to have 2 QuantumTM Radar scanners connected via RayNet powered at the same time, on the same networked system. However, it is possible to have 2 QuantumTM radar scanners connected via RayNet separately to 2 standalone (non-networked) displays, or 2 displays which each belong to a different RayNet network. · It is NOT possible to have 2 QuantumTM Radar scanners powered at the same time, where one is connected via RayNet, and the other is connected via Wi-Fi, on the same networked system, or single standalone display. However, it is possible to have 2 QuantumTM radar scanners powered in this configuration if they are connected separately to 2 standalone (non-networked) displays, or 2 displays which each belong to a different RayNet network. Retain your Wi-Fi passcode To connect to the Radar using Wi-Fi (wireless), you will need to know the unit's SSID, and Passcode.
