Description

Koden MDS-1112RS radar PC system

Koden MDS-1112RS is the radar PC configuration listed with the 6ft RW701A-06 open-array scanner. A PC-based radar installation needs the scanner, radar hardware, computer and display environment, cabling, power supply and navigation-data interfaces to be treated as one complete system. F&C Marine can help review the installation before supply so the correct MDS configuration and supporting equipment are identified.

Configuration and system matching

This listing identifies MDS-1112RS with a 6ft RW701A-06 open-array scanner. Related MDS-1100 versions use different scanner and array combinations, so the full model reference should be retained on quotations and vessel records. For a replacement or upgrade, record the existing scanner arrangement, cable route, power supply, computer or monitor installation and data interfaces. Clear photographs of connectors and equipment labels help establish what can be reused and what needs renewal.

PC radar installation planning

PC radar provides flexibility in the bridge display environment, but it requires careful integration. The computer and display must be suitable for the radar arrangement, scanner cabling needs a protected route and processing equipment needs adequate service access. Existing cables should only be retained after compatibility and condition have been confirmed. Water ingress, damaged plugs, corrosion or previous modifications can produce intermittent faults that complicate commissioning and should be identified before the new radar is put into service.

Power and navigation data

The installation also depends on stable power and correct navigation inputs. Supply wiring and circuit protection should be checked for the equipment actually being fitted. Where heading, position, speed, AIS or other vessel data is used by the radar, each required input should be identified in advance and tested during commissioning. A fault elsewhere in the vessel data network can look like a radar problem, so the interfaces between systems should be treated as part of the work rather than an afterthought.

Commissioning the complete system

Commissioning should include scanner operation, power under operating load, target presentation, display and control functions and the relevant navigation-data inputs. The radar should be checked in the configuration the vessel will actually use. Any warning, alarm or missing data should be resolved before handover. For a refit, comparing the completed installation with photographs and records from the previous system is a practical way to confirm that no external sensor or connection has been overlooked.

Documentation and related guidance

For current Koden information, see Koden marine electronics. Use the applicable manufacturer manuals as the final reference for computer requirements, wiring, dimensions and setup. F&C Marine also provides a marine radar range, a Radar vs AIS guide and the Marine Electronics Knowledge Base for related installation and troubleshooting information.

Before ordering Koden MDS-1112RS

Send the vessel type, existing radar details, photographs of the scanner and bridge equipment, cable information, supply voltage and the computer or display arrangement that will be used. Also identify any heading, GNSS or AIS information expected at the radar. If the project follows a fault, include symptoms and previous test results. F&C Marine can then help confirm compatibility, current availability and the likely accessories or installation work required before the equipment is ordered.
