VX2 1954CBB/NT

[linhkienbodam]

Hi,
I have 2 radar VX2 1954CBB/NT, system is included RPU-015, PSU-005, RSB-0072-061, Monitors are MU-155C, MU-120C and RCU-017. It seems one of RPU have a problem because it shown 64nm maximum only (the other one is 72nm ). Please note I checked both of them with the same antenna and PSU, monitor, RCU. Please advise.
Thank you
Nick

The processor has nothing to do with the radar power/range. The connected radar scanner determines the power and range, when all settings are correctly done.

The serial number and connected scanner number you provided of the first photo reflects a 1964CBB. (not 1954CBB) The problem is it has the wrong power supply connected. The 1964CBB would use the PSU008 not the PSU005.

The second serial number reflects it sold as a 1944CBB. What scanner and power supply do you have connected to it? Normally the 1944CBB would have no PSU unit.

Yes, PSU008 not the PSU005, just typing mistake. This is my radar systems:
1. 72 Nm:
- RPU-015 ( serinal number: 4324-1666)
- PSU-008 ( R151-1033)
- RSB-0072-061 ( R091-2411 )
- MU-120C (8045-0213)
2. 64 Nm:
- RPU-015 ( serinal number: 4324-4494)
- PSU-008 ( R151-0183)
- RSB-0072-061 ( R091-2097)
- MU-155C (8046-1914)
I read the model of those items and thought 2 system is the same radar model, just monitor size different so I wonder why their range different. So is there any way to upgrade my 64 Nm radar to 72 nm?
Thank you

Is the antenna set to model F in the set up?

 

[linhkienbodam]

Where I can set to model F ? open array antenna or RPU-015 BB PROCESSOR ? I think the problem is on processor because if I change my 64Nm RPU to my 72 Nm radar, the monitor will show 64Nm, took my 72 Nm RPU to 64 Nm radar, monitor will show 72nm. Warm up time is different, 72nm RPU is 2'30 but 64nm RPU is 35 seconds only

I would suggest that you download the installation manual which is separate fro the operator manual. It can be found on our website. Go to the product page and click view support/tech info. There you will find the and set up instructions.

 

[linhkienbodam]

OK, I will. Thank you

I download Installation Manual and I saw the radar antenna model setting is at the third chapter: Setting up the Equipment.
It is said that a Installation Wizard will appear after I press the Power/TX to turn the radar on but I tried to do it many times but It went straight to the radar screen, can not see the Installation Wizard. I can see a main menu and a sub menu for every funtion such as: radar, fishfinder and plotter... I tried to searched it on menu tree also but I can not find the Installtion Wizard.
As you told me my second RPU-15 was sold as 1944C so I think the radar was set up to model D at first setting and I think I can reset it up if you can help me to find the Installation wizard
Thank you

Radar menu access requires pressing and holding the [MENU] button for about 10 seconds while powering up the unit.

I found it and my radar is 72nm now. Thank you very much
