28.3 Radar troubleshooting
Problems with the Radar and their possible causes and solutions are described here.
No connection can be made to the scanner
Possible Causes Possible Solution
Radar powered down
• If the scanner unit has shut down, awaken it by using the Power Up Radar option on the Shortcuts
page, accessible on your MFD by momentarily pressing the power button.
• Quantum Radar will shut down within 30 minutes if neither a wired (RayNet) connection, nor a wireless
(Wi-Fi) connection can be made to a multifunction-display unit (MFD).
Radar not
transmitting
Select Tx for the relevant Radar scanner from the Shortcuts page.
Missing or incorrect
Wi-Fi credentials
If using a WiFi (wireless) connection to the Radar, check that you have entered the correct WiFi pass key
for the SSID that matches your scanner. Both the SSID and WiFi pass key are provided on the scanner
packaging, and are also shown on the serial number label on the underside of the unit.
Damaged or
disconnected Power
cable / RayNet cable
1. Check that the cable connectors are fully inserted and locked in position.
2. Check the power supply cable and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion, replace if necessary.
3. With the unit turned on, try exing the cable near to the display connector to see if this causes the
unit to re-boot/loose power, replace if necessary.
4. Check the vessel’s battery voltage, the condition of the battery terminals and power supply cables,
ensuring connections are secure, clean and free from corrosion, replace if necessary.
5. With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for high voltage drop across all
connectors/fuses etc (this can cause the unit to reset/turn off), replace if necessary.
6. Check condition of relevant breakers and fuses, replace if necessary. . If breaker keeps tripping or
fuses keep blowing, contact a Raymarine authorized dealer for assistance.
