3  PLANNING SYSTEM INSTALLATION 
Before installing the R1, R2, R3, R3D, R5 and R5D Radar Systems, the following installation parameters 
of the R1, R2, R3, R3D, R5 and R5D radar assemblies must be determined: 
 
•  Final location 
•  Height above ground and tilt angle 
•  Power requirements 
•  System network topology, and network components needed to support this topology 
 
3.1  RADAR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION 
3.1.1  Determining an Optimal Location 
The optimal R1, R2, R3, R3D, R5 and R5D Radar Assembly location is determined based on the following 
factors: 
 
•  Unobstructed line of sight to the area under surveillance 
•  Radar height above ground 
•  Proximity to large radar reflectors such as buildings, trucks, aircraft and other large 
metallic objects 
•  Operating mode (FastScan or Doppler) 
•  Power and connectivity availability 
•  Line of sight to other R1, R2, R3, R3D, R5 and R5D units
