Mounting a radar sensor - I Series

Mounting radar sensor

Radar sensors may be mounted on various structures (e.g walls, roofs, gantries) using brackets.

Sample posts and brackets are shown in Sample Brackets - I series

Mounting radar on posts/brackets, for both vertical and horizontally scanning radar.

Radar sensors are fitted to a plate on top of the post, or on the bracket, using nuts and bolts, which allows you to adjust the tilt of the radar.

Adjusting the tilt (levelling the sensor) ensures optimum detection performance and is detailed in Levelling an I Series radar
 

                              Levelling adjustment

The sensor mounting plate (or bracket) design allows for a simple yet effective method to fine tune the incline of the sensor. For each of the mounting holes, the bolt is fed from underneath and locked onto the mounting plate with a nut. Two more nuts are used below the radar base plate and another is used above so that the sensor can be positioned anywhere up or down the bolt thread, as necessary.
