    Installing the Sensor Hardware and Software section on page 10 describes where to mount the RadaScan View sensor on the vessel, and how to connect it to the RadaScan View marine processor and the vessel’s DP system. It also explains how to upgrade the sensor software, if required.

  • Page 7: System Overview

    The RSI is used for system configuration and replaces the Service Access mode of the Dashboard reduced size and weight of the RadaScan View sensor allows it to be used on smaller vessels or Console in earlier versions of the RadaScan system.

  • Page 8: Important Safety Notes

    Important Safety Notes Non-ionising Radiation The RadaScan View sensor emits non-ionising radiation with an output power of 1 Watt when transmitting. This equipment should be treated with the same safety precautions as other marine radar devices. ALWAYS keep a minimum safe distance of 1 metre from the dome when the unit is operational.

  • Page 9: Serial Numbers And Software Versions

    Serial Numbers and Software Version Numbers are used to identify the hardware configuration and product revision of each RadaScan View sensor. They will be requested by Guidance Marine in the event of an application service or support call to the company.
