Installing the Radar hardware

...

CAUTION - Before performing any installation task ensure you are aware of Health & Safety procedures.

 

 

Preparing the laptop

IMPORTANT: Ensure that your laptop has its IP address set to operate within the same subnet as the radar sensor

Factory settings

The IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1) of the radar sensor is preset before leaving Navtech Radar Limited according to client specifications and will be declared on a label attached to the outer casing.
The subnet mask of the radar sensor is often preset to 255.255.255.0 but could also be set wider (such as 255.255.0.0) if requested. Therefore, if the sensor IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the mask is 255.255.255.0, then your computer must use an IP address in the range: 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.

Changing factory settings

The IP address and subnet mask can be changed using firmware commands sent to the radar either via Telnet (see [5]), or using a serial connection (see [D3]).

Connecting your laptop

1. At the radar, connect the laptop via CAT5 cable to the radar.

Levelling radar sensor

For optimum detection performance it is important that each sensor is level in relation to the area that it surveys. Level in this sense may not mean absolutely horizontal, generally the radar will be levelled so as to scan parallel to the boom they are to protect.
The exaggerated examples below show how a sensor with an incorrect incline could miss targets which are lower down the slope:

This should be checked in two axes, on the radar lid, as shown below. The objective is to install the radar so that it scans in a plane which is parallel to the boom or structure which is being protected
