General Installation Guidelines - Magos SR Series User Manual

● The SR in similar to all radar based technologies relies on returned signal to
interpret target location. If the coverage area contains metallic objects (cars,
large pipes, fences etc) or non-metal surface (straight walls, buildings) this
might result in multiple reflections (in similar to looking at a mirror) from a signal
target, arriving at the radar from multiple angles. This means, for example, that if
the radar is set to protect and area containing a metallic fence, a target moving
at one side of the fence might be detected by the radar as 2 targets moving
from both sides of the fence.
● In general water is non-transparent to RF signals. A consequence of this fact is
that when the SR radar is positioned to cover an area containing large bodies of
water, large waves and other disturbances in the surface of the water might be
interpreted by the radar as moving targets.
● For safety reasons it is restricted to install the radar in marine type environment.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

The SR radar sensor is very simple to handle and install.
Using the four holes on the back, the unit may be assembled either using one of
Magos' solutions or any other means of securing the unit in the desired location.
General guidelines for assembly:
● Figure 2 outlines the mechanical dimensions of the unit and mounting holes,
and the electronic connector location. Holes are compatible to 1/4''-20X1/2
screws. Screws and mounting brackets can be purchased separately from
Magos. The brackets and their use are depicted in: Figure 3 and Figure 4 for
installation on a tripod, or Figures 5-7 for wall/mast/pole mounted installation.
● When using Magos' brackets or any other bracket ensure all 4 screws are used.
During installation make sure all screws are properly fastened, and are installed
with spring washers and washers. Otherwise Magos is not responsible to

IMPORTANT
Warranty does not cover water damage caused to the
connector. In order to avoid such damage the cap must be
attached whenever a cable is not plugged in.
Whether using the cable or the cap ensure that they are
securely connected by twisting them until firmly locked.
