HDR Series - Installation Guide

Welcome

This purpose of this guide is to provide sufficient information to allow an AdvanceGuard radar to be physically installed, powered up and configured to correctly communicate over a network. This guide assumes that a suitably trained person has already performed a site survey and a suitable mounting location identified. The HDR radar, together with the Navtech Radar software Witness, form the Navtech Radar AdvanceGuard detection system. Service and Maintenance procedures are covered in a separate manual.
