1. Dismounting the radar sensor

Follow this procedure for dismounting the radar when a replacement is required.

  1. Disconnect the radar 24VDC power supply in the junction box.
  2. To remove the cables at the radar itself, twist each connector anti-clockwise, in turn.

    CAUTION: Ensure you are twisting the connector and not the cable gland on the back of the connector.
  3. Remove the bolts holding the radar to the radar bracket. Carefully lift the radar clear of the bracket.

    IMPORTANT: Take care not to alter the position of the lower mounting nuts, in order to ensure the radar will return to its previously commissioned position when re-mounted. Failure to do this could mean radar will not perform as expected and may require re-commissioning.
  4. Protect the ends of the power and data cables to prevent water getting inside them whilst disconnected from the radar.

Care point - The radar sensor weighs approximately 6Kg, take all necessary precautions when lifting.


Mounting the radar sensor

  1. When replacing the sensor follow the reverse procedure (discussed above) to mount the unit back onto the bracket.

    Note: Take care to ensure that the sensor is bolted down securely and the power and data connectors are firmly and positively engaged on the radar

      

  2. Once the radar is securely mounted on the bracket, reconnect power to the unit.
