[CA] [CA11] Powering a Quantum Radar

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Gary,

Contrary to what you have read within the manual, it is recommended that radomes and open array pedestals be powered from a dedicated power circuit, permitting power to the radomes and open array pedestal to be switched ON/OFF without affecting the power state of the system's other marine electronics devices. These products should not be connected directly to the vessel's batteries. By heeding this recommendation, the radome may be awakened from sleep mode without affecting the systems other products and will not draw current (as little as may be required for sleep mode) when not being used.
