Warnings and Cautions
Caution:
Use this radar at your own risk. This radar was designed for
use as a navigation aid. It should not be used for purposes that
require precise measurements of direction, distance, topography
or location. Always compare the navigation information received
from your radar with data from other navigation aids and
sources. When a conflict arises between the navigation data from
your radar and data from other navigation aids, make sure you
resolve the conflict before proceeding with navigation. A CARE-
FUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE
METHOD TO OBTAIN NAVIGATION INFORMATION.
Caution:
International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea man-
date that when radar is on a vessel, the radar must be used at
all times, regardless of weather conditions or visibility. Numer-
ous court decisions have not only ruled the radar must be used,
but that the radar operator must be knowledgeable in all opera-
tional aspects of radar performance or otherwise face a greater
risk of liability if an accident occurs.
Caution:
If you purchased an open array radar antenna, make sure it is
installed in an area free of hardware obstructions and free of po-
tential obstructions like sails, lines or other vessel components
that could intermittently intrude or be caught up in the array
antenna's rotation path.
WARNING: High Voltage Hazard
Dangerously high voltages are present within the radar
scanner unit. The unit contains no user-serviceable
parts. The cover should be removed only by a qualified
radar service technician. Technicians must exercise ex-
treme care when working inside the unit. ALWAYS re-
move power before removing the cover. Some capacitors
may take several minutes to discharge, even after
switching off the radar. Before touching the magnetron
or any high voltage components, ground them with a
clip lead. There are no internal connections or adjust-
ments necessary for installation or operation.
iv
WARNING: Microwave Radiation Hazard
The microwave energy radiated by a radar antenna is
harmful to humans, especially to the eyes. NEVER look
directly into an open waveguide or into the path of ra-
diation from an enclosed antenna. Radar and other ra-
dio frequency radiation can upset cardiac pacemakers.
If someone with a cardiac pacemaker suspects abnormal
operation, immediately turn off the radar equipment
and move the person away from the antenna. Turn off
the radar whenever it is necessary to work on the an-
tenna unit or other equipment in the beam of the radar.
WARNING: Turn Off Radar When Docked
The radar beam can be harmful to humans in close prox-
imity (within 20 yards, or 18.3 meters). When docked, be
considerate of other boats and pedestrians nearby and
remember to turn off your radar. If your boat is in a cov-
ered marina and the radar is on, a metal roof can act as
a reflector, bouncing microwave energy back at your
boat and passengers.

Section 1: Introduction
Thank you for buying a Lowrance Radar with the RIM 100 radar inter-
face module. Your radar consists of three main components: the radar
scanner unit (antenna), your display unit (sold separately) and the RIM
100 radar interface module which connects the scanner and display units.
WARNING:
Radar radiation can be harmful to you and bystanders.
Radar misuse or misunderstanding radar operation
could lead to a collision, which could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.
You must be familiar with the procedures and all warn-
ings and cautions described in the installation and op-
eration manuals in order to operate your radar safely
and effectively.
We know you’re eager to begin using your radar, but first, we want you to
take note of the three instruction manuals you need to read to get started.
First is the Read Me! Insert for Radar Display Unit Software Update
(part number 988-0161-022). It tells you how use the memory card in
your package to update your display unit software to make it radar-
ready. (For your convenience, this information is also repeated below.)
Second is the Radar and RIM 100 Installation Manual (part number
988-0161-001). It tells you how to install your radar's hardware.
Third is this Radar Operation Manual (part number 988-0161-011).
After installing the radar scanner unit, the RIM 100 and the new dis-
play software, you need to read this manual to learn how your display
unit and radar antenna work together.
To get the highest level of performance from your radar, it is a good
idea to keep this manual and your display unit's sonar or GPS instruc-
tion manual handy for reference.
Models Covered
This manual covers the following radar-compatible display units: LCX-
25c, LCX-26c HD, LCX-110c, LCX-111c HD sonar/GPS combos; and
GlobalMap 6500c, GlobalMap 6600c HD, GlobalMap 7500c, Global-
Map 7600c HD GPS units.
Note for GlobalMap users: Menus and function commands in your
units are identical to those shown in this manual, except your display
will not have sonar page options, sonar alarm options or sonar simula-
tor options.
2
This manual covers the following radar units: LRA-1000, LRA-1500,
LRA-2000 radomes; and LRA-4000, LRA-5000 open array radars.
Update Display Unit Software
Your display unit must have software version 1.3.0 or later to work
with radar. Depending on when you bought your display, it may require
a software update. To avoid delays in setting up your radar system,
your radar package includes an MMC or SD memory card with a basic
software upgrade.
Lowrance continues to regularly develop display enhancements and
new radar features. We strongly recommend that you periodically
check our web site for the latest free radar software updates.
If you or a friend has Internet access, log-on to www.lowrance.com,
browse to our Software page and look for the Product Updates link. If
you lack Internet access, call your dealer or Lowrance Customer Serv-
ice. Complete contact information is on the last page of this manual.
We've made it easy for you to keep up with our latest updates — just
subscribe to our free e-mail software release notices. Look for the link
at the bottom of our Product Software Upgrades web page.
Installing Software Update
1. With the display unit turned off, install the MMC card that contains
the radar software update.
2. Turn on the unit and the update will install automatically.
3. When the update is finished, the unit will power up normally. After
the updated is complete, remove the update MMC from card slot.
NOTE:
This manual assumes you have a basic understanding of your display
and its sonar and/or GPS operations. For complete instructions on
the keyboard, pages and menu structure, refer to the manual packed
with your display. That manual also explains the typographical con-
ventions and symbols we use to describe unit operations.
What is radar?
The word "radar" is an acronym for "RAdio Detecting And Ranging." In
simple terms, this is how it works:
A radio transmitter sends out a quick microwave pulse. A receiver listens
for that signal's echo when it bounces back from something in its path.
3
When the echo returns, it is processed by a computer to determine rela-
tive distance, position and bearing of the object that reflected the sig-
nal. This information is displayed on the display unit's screen. Other
boats or ships, navigational markers, landmasses and the like are re-
ferred to as targets.
By knowing how long it takes for a signal to return, the distance to a tar-
get can be determined. As the radar antenna scans through a 360 degree
rotation, it can show where the target is relative to your position. By re-
peated scans, you can see which direction another vessel is moving.
The following two pages show the basic components of your radar dis-
play screen, which is commonly referred to as the PPI, an old term from
the early days of radar.

Basic Radar Display Components
Your unit has three electronic bearing
lines and three variable range markers.

Radar Setup
The Radar Setup menu allows you to setup and adjust radar settings,
like Transmit Off Zone and Antenna Park. Most of the settings in the
Radar Setup menu will only have to be set once, but we recommend you
check the settings periodically for general maintenance.
NOTE:
Before starting radar setup, take your vessel out on open water
with fairly calm seas, like an open bay.
The three setup features we want to modify are Adjust Trigger Delay,
Adjust Main Bang Suppression and Adjust Heading Line.
We will set them up in that order, but before making any adjustments,
make sure the display is set to a range of 1/8 nautical miles and that
Gain, Anti-Sea Clutter (STC), Anti-Rain Clutter (FTC), Main Bang
Suppression and Trigger Delay all have been set to zero percent.

Adjust Trigger Delay
This feature eliminates the time lag between real radar returns and the
time it takes data to be processed by the radar software, a common is-
sue with all radars.
Caution:
If you have any doubt about your understanding of the Trigger
Delay feature, you should have it set up by a qualified radar
technician.
1. The radar should already be in STANDBY mode, so press PWR for 2
seconds to switch the radar into transmission mode. A confirmation
message will appear, press ←
←
←
←← to select YES.
2. Press MENU, then select GAIN and press ENT, which will call up the
Gain vertical control bar. Press ↑
↑
↑
↑↑ to increase the Gain level to around
15%. One or two red rings with blue borders should be visible on the
screen, depending on the wattage of your radar antenna.
3. Now from the Radar Setup menu, press →
→
→
→→ ↓
↓
↓
↓↓| to ADJUST TRIGGER DELAY,
then press ENT. The Adjust Trigger Delay vertical scrollbar will appear.
11
The 2 kW models, the LRA-1000 and LRA-1500, will have only one ring
on the display. The 4 kW radars — LRA-2000, LRA-4000 and LRA-5000
— will have two rings on the display. See the following figures.
Before adjusting the Trigger Delay for 4 kW radars, two rings will be
shown on the screen (left). As Trigger Delay is increased, the larger
ring will start to get smaller. The small ring will disappear (right).
You may have to increase gain in the previous step if the rings are not
visible. Increase gain until you have solid red rings shown on the
screen, like in the preceding example. Increasing Gain too much can
cause distortion of the rings.
4. Press ↑
↑
↑
↑↑ to increase the level of Trigger Delay, which will decrease the
size of the ring. If you have a 4 kW radar, as the large ring decreases in
size, the smaller ring in the center of the screen will disappear, leaving
only one ring.
Increase Trigger Delay to diminish the size of the red ring (left). To set
Trigger Delay correctly, reduce the ring to as small a size as possible,
while keeping a black circle in the middle (enlarged view, right).
In either case, continue to increase the Trigger Delay level until the
ring is as small as possible, while keeping a black circle in the middle.
Every radar is different, but typically, a setting between 35 and 42 per-
cent will get the job done.
12
If you over apply the Trigger Delay, the black circle will disappear. De-
crease the Trigger Delay level and it will reappear.
3. Press EXIT to return to the main page display.
Adjust Main Bang Suppression
Main Bang Suppression is only for 4kW units — LRA 2000, LRA 4000 and
LRA 5000. This feature filters out electronic noise close to your vessel. It
gives you control of radar sensitivity in the area surrounding your ves-
sel, approximately 180 feet in all directions.
Before making any adjustments to Main Bang Suppression, take your
vessel out on open water with fairly calm seas, like an open bay.
Caution:
If you have any doubt about your understanding of the Main
Bang Suppression feature, you should have it set up by a quali-
fied radar technician.
1. From the Radar Setup menu, press →
→
→
→→ ↓
↓
↓
↓↓| to ADJUST MAIN ANG B SUP-
PRESSION and press ENT. That will launch the Main Bang Suppression
vertical scrollbar.
2. The small red ring we adjusted during Trigger Delay setup will still
be on the display.
3. Press ↑
↑
↑
↑↑ slowly — Main Bang Suppression can be sensitive — to in-
crease the Main Bang Suppression level so the red ring becomes as thin
as possible.
4. Press ↓
↓
↓
↓↓ to slowly decrease the level until you have returned the red
ring back to its thinnest point. Every radar is different, but typically, a
setting between 2 and 8 percent will be satisfactory.
NOTE:
In many cases, depending on the radar unit you have, over applying
Main Bang Suppression can make the ring disappear, start to make
it wider or the ring can get to a point where it is as small as it will
get. At this point, increasing the main bang level will not change
the red ring.
If the red ring does not does not decrease in size when increasing
the suppression level, reduce the level until you see a slight in-
crease in the size of the ring, then leave it at that setting.
13
Main Bang Suppression begins with the same red ring we resized dur-
ing Trigger Delay setup (left). Slowly increase Main Bang Suppression
to make the ring as thin as possible (enlarged view, right).
5. Press EXIT to clear the scrollbar from the screen. Now reset Gain,
Anti-Sea Clutter and Anti-Rain Clutter back to a desired level.
Adjust Heading Line
The Heading Line command is used to make sure the green heading
line (zero point) on your display is lined up with the bow of your vessel.
(Before heading line adjustment) (After heading line adjustment)
The bow of the ship is lined up with the tip of the peninsula (left), but the
green heading line is not. Adjusting the heading line will allow you to align
the direction of the heading line with the direction of the bow (right).
1. Line up the bow of your vessel with a point of reference, like a penin-
sula, lighthouse or other stationary target.
2. From the Radar Setup menu, press →
→
→
→→ to select ADJUST HEADING LINE
and press ENT. That will place an arrow on each side of the green
Heading Line.
14
3. Use to adjust the position of the
←
←
←
←← →
→
→
→→ green heading line, so its line
to the reference point's radar image matches your bow's actual line to
the reference point.
4. Press EXIT to remove the heading line arrows from the display.
Adjust Transmit Off Zone
The Transmit Off Zone is a feature that allows you to select an area in
the radar's 360° transmission path where the radar beam will not be
transmitted.
WARNING:
ALL targets inside the Transmit Off Zone will NOT be
displayed on the screen. This will create a blind spot
within the off zone!
Transmit Off Zone is shown in bright red; the remaining area of the
PPI is considered the Transmit Zone. Color is exaggerated here for
clarity; on-screen, the off zone actually appears in a dimmer shade so
as not to distract from target images in the transmit zone. Dialog box
values at upper right are in degrees, relative to the heading line.
Caution:
Preventing the main beam or lobe from transmitting through the
Transmit Off Zone will diminish the amount of radiation
broadcast in that area, but it WILL NOT protect you from radia-
tion transmitted by the side lobes of the radar antenna.
To avoid radiation exposure, be sure to follow the installation
instructions, which require the radar to be installed at least 1
foot above all persons.

Adjust Tune
Tuning should require no adjustment during the life of the unit. We
strongly recommend you do NOT adjust Tune settings yourself.
This feature is intended for use only by trained technicians. If for some
reason you need to use this function, consult your dealer or customer
service about the software updates necessary for tuning.

eliminate some desired echoes. A high level of the Gain, allows you to
see greater detail around you, but will clutter the screen.
NOTE:
When adjusting Gain back to a useable level, increase the level un-
til you see a light peppering of echoes on the display. Also remem-
ber, you will have to adjust gain every time you change ranges.
To adjust Gain:
