LAN Signal Converter

The LAN Signal Converter allows the use of existing antenna cable RW-9600/6895/
4873 for TR-UP radar.
If the LAN Signal Converter is not attached in the antenna and processor units, the
required LAN Signal Converter Kit (available as an optional extra) is listed below.
For X-band radar only, you can select a specification with the LAN Signal Converter
pre-installed at the factory.
X-band radar
S-band magnetron radar
S-band solid state radar
2.9.1 Application overview
The LAN Signal Converter has two applications.
Application 1: Use with existing antenna cable (retrofit)
Processor Unit side

* Installed inside respective unit.
Method 1: Using existing antenna cable (RW-9600/6895/4873)
Note: Use with existing antenna cable (RW-9600/6895/4873) in case of retrofit. The
maximum length of the antenna cable is 100 m for RW-9600, 50 m For RW-6895/
4873.
Application 2: Foremast installation (for X-band radar only)
Foremast installation, where the distance between the antenna unit and the processor
unit is more than 100 m (max. 460 m). In this case, two Junction Boxes RJB-001 are
required (for antenna and processor units). See section 2.10 and the interconnection
diagram for connections in the junction box.
The Cable Extension Kit (Type: OP03-224-3, Code No.: 001-254-410), comprised of
two junctions boxes, two LAN Signal Converters and necessary hardware, is available
as an optional extra.
Note: Only the RW-9600 cable can be used for foremast installation. The RW-6895/
4873 cables are not available.
