the convenience of the service staff who take care of installation, maintenance, 
adjustment, and repair of the scanner by providing adequate footholds to the mounting 
rack and the radar mast.

⢠When installing the scanner, select a location where there are the fewest structural 
objects in the surrounding area so that false echos which interfere with target detection 
will not be generated by signal reflection from other scanners, deck structures, and 
cargo.  Only as a guide, note that structural objects should not exist within the range of 
the vertical beam width (Fig 2-25).
Vertical beam width of X-band: Approx. 20  ( 10.0  when the height of the radiating section is 0 )
Vertical beam width of S-band: Approx. 25  ( 12.5  when the height of the radiating section is 0 )

⢠When installing two or more scanners, scanners in close proximity should have a 
minimum vertical elevation separation angle of 20 and a minimum vertical separation of 
1m where possible, so that those scanners do not enter each other's vertical beam width 
range.
