3. Installation
3.1 General Safety Instructions
Observe standard regulations and guidelines while installing and operating the
radar sensors. You should follow country-specific installation standards,
prevailing safety regulations, accident prevention rules, and this manual’s
safety instructions.
Depending on the model, the emitting frequencies of these radar sensors are
either in the C or K band range. Their low transmitting power is well below
the internationally permitted limits. When used correctly, the radar sensors
present no danger to people.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the sensors are maintained and
functioning properly.
3.2 Unpacking Equipment
When unpacking the equipment, do the following:
•
Unpack the unit in a clean, dry area.
•
Inspect the equipment for any damage that occurred during shipping or
storage.
•
If the equipment is damaged, file a claim against the carrier and report the
damage in detail.
3.3 Components and Hardware
The radar sensor consists of an integrated microwave transmitter and sensor
together with a horn antenna (see Figure 3-1 and Table 3-1). The horn antenna
serves to focus the transmitted signal and to receive the reflected echo. A builtin SDI-12 interface provides data processing and SDI-12 communications with
the datalogger.
