Physical Installation
Personnel Authorized for Installation
Installation of the SR-Series Sensors is intended for technicians/system integrators who
have only received training by Magos Ltd.
If you have not received proper training, please contact Magos Ltd or visit our website
(www.magosys.com) for a list of authorized installation personnel.
Installation Restrictions and Limitations
The product shall be installed at a location where the radiating antenna can be kept
•
at least 2
from nearby persons in normal operating conditions.

General Installation Guidelines
To properly install the SR-Series sensors and integrate it into an active, efficient protection
system, it is imperative that the user will first understand some basic rules regarding radars
in general and specifically regarding the SR-Series sensors. Prior to sensor installation, it is
imperative that the user reads the following list of limitations and restrictions and ensures
that the intended installation site is suitable for installation. When in doubt
Please consult with Magos representatives. In addition, Magos strongly recommend
conducting a site survey prior to installation. For first-time installers, it is recommended to
consult with Magos representatives before, during, and after the site survey.
The following limitation and restrictions should be considered prior to installation:
-
Line of sight: Radar sensors are based on line-of-sight detection. Any obstacles
hiding or partially hiding areas from the radar will not be properly protected. This
includes obvious obstacles such as walls, buildings, hills, etc, but also includes less
obvious obstacles such as light foliage, low bushes, etc., where the target is only
partially obscured from the radar. In such cases, detection performance is reduced.
Clutter: While the SR-Series sensors feature "zero-doppler" detection, maximum
-
detection ranges for tangent moving targets (moving targets that remain at a
constant or near constant distance from the radar) or for crawlers are typically
reduced compared to radial moving targets. This occurs in areas that are not clear of
obstacles such as bushes, trees, and other flora.
As mentioned earlier the SR-Series sensors might exhibit disturbances and "ghost"
-
targets as a result of largely returned signals. This occurs when a very large target
(car/ truck etc.) moves in the vicinity of the radar (30m away or less, and 5m away or
less for human targets) even outside the stated coverage area. Therefore, it is
recommended to install the sensor in unpopulated, isolated spots (or alternatively
use high poles to increase the distance between the radar and ground traffic).
The SR-Series sensors, in similar to all radar-based technologies, rely on returned
-
signals to interpret target location. If the coverage area contains metallic objects
