1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains the information necessary to install the
RADius 1000 on a vessel. For more detailed product
information, please refer to the RADius 1000 User's Manual.
RADius represents a new way of utilising technology in short
range and direction monitoring, and is mainly used in operations
where increased safety is crucial, like when controlling or
assisting automatic dynamic positioning (DP) of a vessel.
The RADius system is designed to operate close by structures
and other vessels and uses identifiable transponders to minimize
the risk of tracking false radar echoes. The system is capable of
detecting and measuring the distance to transponders within the
range of up to 1000 metres.
For information about installation of the RADius Transponder
please refer to the RADius 500/600 Transponder Installation
Manual, KM doc no 179645.

3.3 Location of the 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.
• The longest Interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented.
• The Interrogator should be located high above sea level.
• The Interrogator needs free line of sight to the Transponders.
• The Interrogator should be mounted to a stiff mast, rail or
wall to limit the risk of mechanical resonances caused by
vibration. Excessive (> 1 g rms) vibrations could affect the
quality of the measurements.
For a supply vessel a good location for installation can be
outside railing on top of bridge roof, pointing aft.
Note The longest Interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented, or
else the RADius system will not be able to track any
transponders.
Figure 2 shows a typical operational scenario. The system
operates against several Transponders simultaneously and the
Interrogator should be installed in the direction where the vessel
will see one or more Transponders in the operational
environment.

Figure 2 Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation

179644/F 9
RADius 1000

3.3.2 Controller Unit

For location of the Controller Unit, consider the following:
• The Controller Unit must be resiliently mounted.
• The warranty will be void if the Processing Unit is removed
from the cabinet.
• The unit is designed for indoor installation and should not be
exposed to heavy vibrations, transformers or similar.
• Ventilation or air conditioning should be provided in order to
keep the ambient operating temperature around +20°C. A
typical good location is the instrument room or on the bridge,
where good ventilation for the 19-inch rack can be provided.
• The area around the unit is to be kept free from dust and
static electricity.
• The air inlet and outlet of the unit must not be blocked. The
internal fan requires free airflow from the rear and the sides.
• All connections to the unit are at the rear side and available
space for cable connections and service must be provided.
