Mounting & Installation
- John Marshall
All variants in the CIR radar range have 4x 20mm deep M8 tapped holes in the underside, in a 4” PCD arrangement.
4” PCD dictates hole centres with a 71.84mm spacing.
Every radar is supplied with a stainless steel M8 fixings pack; it is recommended that these are tightened to 20 Nm.
It is recommended to orient the radar with the connector panel facing “down” ,”back”, “South” or “in”. The radar presents its' output referenced to a 0° or North point directly opposite to the connectors.
Be sure to mount the radar level, to ensure that it presents a consistent view of its’s surroundings in every direction.
When designing a mounting bracket for a specific application, it can sometimes be helpful to add in the opportunity for adjustment in each of the mounting angles to aid easy commissioning
The centreline of the radar’s output is approximately 280mm above the base of the unit.
