• It is rarely possible to place the radar sensor where a completely clear view in all
directions is available. Thus, you should determine the angular width and relative
bearing of any shadow sectors for their influence on the radar at the first opportunity
after installation.
Consideration for selecting a location for installation (multiple radars)
• In case multiple radars are installed on a ship, DO NOT install the DRS4D-NXT
within the range of beam area emitted from other radar(s). Use the illustration below
for reference when selecting a suitable location for installation. The SSD inside the
RS4D-NXT will be damaged if it is within the radar beam emission area from other
radar.
