Inspect equipment for possible physical damage before installation. Make sure that no damage is made to the cover of the RADius 1000 Interrogator unit, the RADius 600 Transponder and the RADius 500 low power. WARNING! Defective cover, exposing battery, on RADius 500 may be hazardous.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation Location of the system parts The following sections describe various procedures regarding mounting of the different system parts: 3.3.1 The Interrogator Unit For location of the Interrogator Unit, consider the following: • The sector which the Interrogator is supposed to cover. The Interrogator has an operating sector of 90 degrees in both vertical and horizontal direction.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation Figure 3 Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation, single Interrogator For supply vessels operating with different sides against an installation, it is highly recommended to use a dual Interrogator system. A typical operational scenario for a dual Interrogator solution is shown in Figure 3.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation 3.3.2 The Transponders Please note that Transponders located at the same side of the vessel MUST have different identification numbers (ID). For location of the Transponders, consider the following: • The Transponder is placed on a reference location, e.g. rail of rig, which is to be positioned by an Interrogator.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation • It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to keep the ambient operating temperature around +20°C. The best location is typically in the instrument room or on the bridge, where good ventilation for the 19-inch rack can be provided.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation 3.4.1.1 Interrogator installation procedure The mechanical installation of the various parts is performed in the following steps: 1. Dismantle the mounting bracket shown in Figure 5 from the rear of the Interrogator Unit if not already done.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation Figure 7 Interrogator Unit mounted to rail, top view 3. A typical dual Interrogator solution that will cover a 180 degree sector, is shown in Figure 8. Dual Interrogator mounting is done similar to single Interrogator solutions.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation Note! Interrogators do not have to be mounted at the same location, but could be displaced from each other. 4. Mount the base plate bracket at the rear of the Interrogator Unit to the mounting bracket and insert the four screws.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation 3.4.1.3 Transponder Power Supply installation procedure The Transponder Power Supply must be securely mounted. Note! See References [3] and [4] for the installation of EX approved transponders. 3.4.1.4 Controller Unit installation procedure The cabinet must be securely mounted. Drilling plan for the resilient mounting is included in the attached drawing 3840-MD-041 on page 33.
