  1. Connect the Encoder Cable from the Drive Assembly (SUB0299) to the main board.

  2. If the old drive assembly had 2 spacers underneath the front 2 bolts, then these will need to be re-fitted with the Drive Assembly using 2 x M6x16mm Skt Cap Screws (SCR0162VSB), then use 3 x M6x12mm Skt Cap Screws (SCR0063VSB) on the 3 pillars.

  3. If there are no spacers under the old drive assembly, then use 5 x M6x12mm Skt Cap Screws (SCR0063VSB) to secure the Drive assembly Assembly with a 5mm hex allen key.

  1. Lower the Radome onto the body of the radar unit, ensuring that the o-ring remains fully within its recess.

  2. As you do so, align the pen marks for radome orientation and also ensure the bolt holes coincide with those in the chassis (rotating the radome once fitted is difficult).

  3. Insert the six new bolts and washers from the service kit and using a T20 Torx® driver, tighten the bolts to a torque of between 140 and 160 cNm.

  4. If cracks are seen running down from the Radome mount holes then before the Radome is fitted, then the area should be cleaned with IPA or an equivalent.

  5. Then the provided Radome stickers can be applied to support the area around the mount holes. This should prevent the cracks extending further while also improving the cosmetic look of the Radome.

  • The SPx RadarView application (which can be obtained from the ‘tools’ folder on the supplied RPU)

  • A CAT 5, 5e or 6 network cable (straight or crossover wiring)

3.1 Preparing & Connecting Your Computer

Info

IMPORTANT: Ensure that your computer has its IP address set to operate within the same subnet as the Radar Sensor.

...

For further details about preparing a computer, please see 3.1.1 - Preparing a computer to link with a radar sensor.

Connecting Your Computer

You can connect your computer at any point along the signal link from the radar sensor, either directly into the sensor mounted socket; at the pole mounted enclosure (if the signal link is joined there) or at the far end of the link where it will join the RPU (Radar Processing Unit) system.

The CTS350-X radar sensor has a built in web interface (known as Vertex) which provides default user level access to the radar. This means you can view information but no changes can be made. There is a useful summary of key radar setup and diagnostic information – e.g. IP address, serial number, System Uptime and Radar health (temperature and rotation).

To use the Vertex Interface

  1. On the computer that is linked to the sensor, open a suitable web browser: Internet Explorer (v10 or above) or Chrome.

  2. Type in the address of the sensor in the format http://192.168.0.1 and press return. This will redirect you to a secure http (https) connection. Accept any security warnings – these are raised because the browser does not recognise the certificate from the radar.

  3. To avoid seeing this warning every time you connect, save the IP address of the radar in the secure/trusted sites zone of your browser (although the certificate is regenerated every time the radar reboots). You should now see the Vertex interface opening page:
