The following are essential additional items that you need to install a radar sensor:

• Electrical Power

Electrical power (110 to 230vAC) sourced from, for example, local mains. 
110 to 230vAC power is required for the Radar's 24vDC PSU.

110 to 230vAC power is also required for the Laptop Computer used during the commissioning process. 

• Laptop computer

The laptop should have:

• • RJ45 Ethernet connection.
  • 9 pin Com port or USB to RS232 adapter [Optional]
  • Software – SPxRadarViewLite-V1.59.3 or higher, with correct configuration file (see Appendix D LINK)
  • Web Browser (IE v10 or higher, Chrome)
• Cat5E shielded patch lead (or Cross over cable, if laptop doesn't have Auto-MDIX)
• M10 nuts and bolts for mounting radar

The minimum for one radar is, in A4 Stainless Steel. 

• x4 off M10x80 HEX Set Screw
• x4 off M10 spring washers
• x4 off M10 plain washers
• x4 off Nyloc Nuts
• x12 off M10 Full plain nuts
• x2 off 17mm Spanner for the M10 nuts and bolts above.

• 5m tape measure
• A Digital Inclinometer (accurate to 0.1°)
• 25m² Radar Target (Navtech part number MBP0137)
• Tripod for mounting Radar Target (Optional, this requirement will vary depending on application)
• Pair of 2 way radios
• Adjustable spanners
• An assistant
• A suitable Radar Power Supply cable
• A way of working safely at height

Most Container Cranes and Bulks Loader have walkways with hand rails - keeping to within the confines of these hand rails, will keep you relatively safe. However this does depend on the specific machine or site you are working on. If required to do wear a harness and fall arrestor – Make sure you clip on to a secure structure or on to a dedicated cable/SWR rope. Make sure any equipment used conforms to:              

Shock Absorbing Lanyards – EN354/355
Harnesses – EN361/prEN1496/1497/1498/020895
Retractable Type Fall Arrester - EN360
