SRT X-BAND RADAR SYSTEMS
INSTALLATION

however does not eliminate the blind sector, but will reduce false echoes
produced by the obstacle. The best position for the reflector can be found by
testing out different positions.
It is highly recommended that the shipyard submit the drawings of the radar
antenna position(s) to the manufacturer for approval.
The Installation consists of following basic steps:
− Mount the Unit without the Antenna on the mast
− Make relevant connector
− Install and connect the Performance Monitor (optional) arm
− Install the Safety Switch
− Mount the Antenna on the Unit
NOTE
The transceiver should be installed in such way that the per-
formance monitor arm is not facing funnels or other big ships
obstruction. Sector blanking is enabled to prevent false echoes
caused by funnels and/or big ships construction (see above). If
performance monitor arm is positioned, within this blanking
area, the pedestal must be turned because the radar perform-
ance monitor is not working where there is no transmission in
the sector of its sensor
Installation of Safety Switch CHANGE: IT IS ON THE DC CORE OR ADAPTER
BOX OR OPTIONAL FOR THE ADAPTER BOX EXTERNAL is compulsory. It is
recommended to be installed at the bottom of the stairs giving access to the
Antenna Pedestal. The waterproof switch is supplied by manufacturer, but a
connection cable (2x2,5mm

) should be provided by the shipyard.
The Antenna Group must be covered by plastic sheet during any painting
performed after the installation.
NOTE
In no case, the Antenna shall be used to hoist the Pedestal up
the mast
