The Northstar radars are designed as an option available to the Northstar 6000i, 6100i, or 8000i

customer requirements. Each scanner model has a corresponding radar processor model.
2.1 2 kW radar system overview
The 2 kW radar system is intended for use in a marine environment. It consists of a dome connected
to the 2 kW radar processor by a prefabricated interconnection cable (NS00310X), which is available in
two lengths.
where A is the radar processor, B is the vessel's power supply (12 V DC ONLY), and C is the Network
Linker (NS004721).
If the radar processor is connected to a Northstar 6000i or 6100i, it communicates with the display unit
through the 6000i and 6100i radar communications cable (NS003107). An optional extension cable
(NS003108) is available.
If the radar processor is connected to a Northstar 8000i system, it communicates with the 8000i
Network Linker (NS004721) through the 8000i network cable (NS00481X).
DC power for the scanner and radar processor is provided through a power cable that connects the
radar processor to the vessel's DC power supply. The power cable is not supplied.
