Raymarine Digital/HD Digital Radomes and HD/Super HD Radar Pedestals will go into sleep mode when a MFD is not sensed within the Raymarine Ethernet network. However, after the MFD is switched ON, then the radome or open or open array should detect the MFD and respond to the MFD's commands. It is considered to be a best installation practice that radomes and radar pedestals be installed on a dedicated breaker or power circuit. Should the radar not awaken after the MFD is powered ON, then the radome or pedestal's power circuit may be switched OFF and then ON again to permit the radar to re-boot and then sense the MFD.
Generally, the reported issue is the result of insufficient power being supplied to the radome or open array pedestal. To rule out such issues, it is generally recommended that the vessel batteries be load tested. Should the batteries be determined to be in good shape, then it would be recommended that the vessel be connected to shore power, that its batteries be permitted to be fully charged, and that after the vessel's batteries have been fully charged and while the vessel is still connected to shore power, that the radome or open array pedestal be tested again. Should the problem persist, then it is recommended that the radome or open array pedestal core be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be serviced.
