GMR Fantom™ 24x radoms, balts

To install the GMR Fantom™ 24x radome, use the provided mounting template to drill four 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) holes. Apply anti-seize compound to the included M8 x 1.25 x 60 mm threaded rods, insert them into the radome holes, and secure with flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. Tighten to 13.7–18.6 N·m (10–14 lbf·ft) using a torque wrench. Position the radome aligned with the bow of the boat using the arrow as a reference.

You will need a drill, a 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) drill bit, an optional 32 mm (1 1/4 inch) drill bit for cables, a 4 mm (5/32 inch) Allen key, a 13 mm (1/2 inch) wrench, a torque wrench, and marine sealant.

Never remove the inline fuse holder. Connect the red wire to the positive terminal (+) of the battery and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). Turn the locking ring clockwise to secure the cable to the lockable power port. Use the appropriate wire gauge for extensions: 16 AWG up to 2 m, 14 AWG up to 4 m, 12 AWG up to 6 m.

Yes, it connects directly via a Garmin BlueNet cable to an open network port on a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or the Garmin BlueNet 20 switch for optimal performance.

Use the Garmin Marine Network adapter cable (ref. 010-12531-01) to connect the BlueNet cable from the radome to a network port on the Garmin Marine Network chartplotter or to the GMS 10 port expander. Tighten the locking rings.

Yes, update the Garmin chartplotter's software during installation. Check the chartplotter manual on support.garmin.com for instructions.

The radome operates from 10 to 32 Vdc. Check the input voltage with a multimeter if error codes 1004 or 1005 appear.

It is compatible with recent Garmin chartplotters via BlueNet or Marine Network with an adapter. Check software compatibility and update for optimal integration.

From -15 to 70 °C (5 to 158 °F). If error code 1013 (high temperature) appears, check the installation temperature.

Red solid: Preparing, should quickly switch to flashing green.Flashing green: Operating normally.Flashing orange: Software update.Flashing red: Error, check chartplotter.

Yes, it uses ultra-fast short-pulse technology for long-range detection with rapid refresh rates.

Check the drive belt for wear or disconnection, inspect the gears of the motor and the antenna, and test the cables. Replace defective parts if necessary after following universal troubleshooting steps.

Yes, if the radome is not aligned with the bow, adjust the bow offset via the chartplotter after installation.

M8 x 60 mm bolts are suitable for thicknesses from 5 to 30 mm. For thicknesses over 30 mm, use longer bolts.

For optimal performance and to avoid injury or damage, installation by a qualified marine installer is recommended.
