Essential Items
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.
Note:Radars are network intensive. Some laptops reduce the performance of their network connection when only running on their internal battery.
- 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.
