RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 10 If a dual Interrogator system is needed, another RADius 1000 Interrogator Unit is added as shown in Figure 2.    Figure 2   RADius 1000 system, dual Interrogator  In addition to the above delivered parts, the following is needed:  • Additional cables for output lines to external equipment • Power cable to the Transponder  For external interfaces, electrical characteristics and data formats must be decided, and the necessary cables and connectors made available. Mains cables for the Power/ Connection Shelf and Processing Unit are also needed.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 11 3.2 Logistics WARNING!  The RADius 500 contains a lithium battery inside the equipment housing. The battery is completely covered by the transponder housing and is watertight. Unless severe damage is made to the housing there is no risk of explosion or fire. See Appendix E - Transportation for labels and symbols on equipment package.   To avoid possible fire, explosion, leakage or burn hazard do not open the sealed unit. Do not attempt to recharge, disassemble, heat above +75° C / 167 F or incinerate.   Caution!  The RADius 500 battery cannot be recharged and an attempt to do so could result in a hazard. (Battery terminals are not accessible unless the cover is destroyed or removed).   Inspect equipment for possible physical damage before installation. Make sure that no damage is made to the cover of the RADius 1000 Interrogator unit, the RADius 600 Transponder and the RADius 500 low power.  WARNING! Defective cover, exposing battery,  on RADius 500 may be hazardous.   Safety: General safety guidelines to be followed when working in mast and on deck. See note on battery in Appendix E - Transportation in this manual.  Personnel qualifications: Trained electrical workers.  Minimum number of personnel: 2, especially when mounting the Interrogator Unit to rail or mast.  Ship location: None.  Special tools required: None.   Note! Keep the original packaging (at least) for RADius 500. The package is equipped with transport labels specific to content (lithium battery).
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 12 3.3 Location of the system parts The following sections describe various procedures regarding mounting of the different 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 should not be mounted close to the ship side, or other large metal surfaces. This is to avoid multi path effects.  • 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.  • During dual Interrogator installations, the two Interrogators should ideally be mounted with a 90 degree difference as shown in Figure 8. This will make it possible to cover 180 degrees.   Note! The longest Interrogator axis must be horizontally oriented, or else the RADius system will not be able to track any transponders.   A typical operational scenario for a single Interrogator solution is shown in Figure 3. The system will typically operate 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. For a supply vessel a good location for installation can be outside railing on top of bridge roof, pointing aft. To avoid multi path effects during operation, it is important not to locate the transponders close to the ship/rig side.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 13  Figure 3  Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation, single Interrogator  For supply vessels operating with different sides against an installation, it is highly recommended to use a dual Interrogator system. A typical operational scenario for a dual Interrogator solution is shown in Figure 3.   Figure 4  Typical operational scenario for a supply vessel operation, dual Interrogator
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 14 3.3.2 The Transponders Please note that Transponders located at the same side of the vessel MUST have different identification numbers (ID).   For location of the Transponders, consider the following:  • The Transponder is placed on a reference location, e.g. rail of rig, which is to be positioned by an Interrogator.  • The orientation of the Transponder is optimised according to its 90-degree operating sector (both vertical and horizontal) and to the operational location for the vessel(s) containing the Interrogators.  • The longest Transponder axis must be horizontally oriented.  • The Transponder requires free line of sight to the Interrogators.  • The Transponder should be mounted to a stiff mast, rail or wall to limit the risk of mechanical resonances caused by vibration.  • The RADius 600 High Gain Transponder shall preferably be mounted in a location not too distant from its power supply (< 200 metres) in order to minimize cable resistance.  • The Transponder should not be mounted close to large metal surfaces (e.g. rig side) to avoid multi path effects that could decrease accuracy.   Caution!  The longest Transponder axis must be horizontally oriented or else the RADius system will not be able to track the transponders.   3.3.3 Transponder Power Supply Indoor mounting is recommended. Outdoor mounting may be allowed as the equipment is ingress protected to IP65. The Transponder Power Supply shall preferably be mounted not too distant from the Transponder (< 200 metres) in order to minimize cable resistance.   3.3.4 The 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 (protected environment) and should not be exposed to heavy vibrations (exceeding 0,7 g RMS), transformers or similar.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 15  • It is recommended that ventilation or air conditioning is provided in order to keep the ambient operating temperature around +20°C. The best location is typically in the instrument room or on the bridge, where good ventilation for the 19-inch rack can be provided.  • It is recommended that the area around the unit is kept free from dust and static electricity.  • The air inlet and outlet on the unit must not be blocked. The unit has an internal fan and requires free airflow from the rear and out to the sides of the unit.  • All connections to the unit are at the rear side and available space for cable connections and service must be provided.   3.3.5 The Video Display Unit For location of the table mounted Video Display Unit, consider the following:  • The unit is designed for installation in an indoor environment and for operation within the temperature range. The best location is typically on a table in the instrument room or on the bridge.  • The unit should be mounted close to the Controller Unit.  • The unit must be located and oriented in such a way that it is easy to see for the vessel operator.  • It is recommended that the area around the unit is kept free from dust and static electricity.   3.4 Installation procedures 3.4.1 Mechanical installation The mechanical installation consists of: • Mounting the Interrogator(s) in a mast or to the rail. • Mounting the Transponder at a suitable reference point. • Mounting the Transponder Power Supply. • Mounting the Controller Unit in the instrument room or bridge of the vessel. • Mounting the VDU in a location easy to monitor for the vessel operator.

RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 27 3.4.3 Setup of configuration parameters Configuration parameter setup consists of:  • Select Interrogator Unit (see chapter 3.4.3.1) • Entering the mounting angle for the Interrogator Unit (see chapter 3.4.3.2) • Entering output data interface (see chapter 3.4.3.3)   Figure 20   System Configuration dialog box  Always fill in the setup parameters for the specific installation in the Installation Worksheet before entering the setup software. Fill in the parameters directly in the worksheet found in the Appendix A - Installation worksheet in the manual. In this way, the parameters for the actual installation will be easier to find when requested later.   3.4.3.1 Select Interrogator Unit During first boot after installation, it is necessary to select which Interrogator Unit to use. This is done by selecting the    button in the Radius GUI. This will open the window shown in Figure 20. By selecting View Interrogator Units, a list of current Interrogators appears (as in Figure 21).
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 28  Figure 21   View Interrogator Units menu  For each Interrogator Unit edit the Unit Name, shown in Figure 20, to identify the Interrogators after installation (e.g. IU 1 Port side). When choosing between different Interrogators at the installation, select the Interrogator Unit drop down menu. Then choose which Interrogator to use, and make sure that the Active check box is checked (as shown in Figure 20).    3.4.3.2 Interrogator mounting angle The Interrogator's mounting angle has to be calibrated after installation. RADius outputs direction to the Transponder relative to the vessel's centre line (0 forward, positive to starboard). The Interrogator is typically pointing backwards on the vessel. If the mounting angle had been 180 degrees, then the mounting angle in the system configuration box above should have been 180 degrees. However, the actual installation angle is seldom met exactly and a procedure to measure the actual angle is shown in Figure 22.    Figure 22   Measuring the mounting angle for the Interrogator α1α2Expected angle = α 1 Measured angle = α 2 Offset = α 3 Orientation angle = α 4 α3α4Centre lineshipInterrogatorTransponder α4= 180 - α 3 α3   = α 2  - α 1
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Installation 29 In this example the Transponder is mounted at the stern of the vessel.   1. The location of the Transponder is measured relative to the centre line of the vessel and the Expected angle , α1, is calculated.   2. The system measures the angle to the Transponder, Measured angle: α2, and the offset from the expected angle, Offset angle: α3, is computed.  3. Then the Mounting angle, α4, can be computed based on the expected mounting angle (180° in the example above) and the computed installation Offset angle, α3.   Figure 23   Interrogator mounting angle   3.4.3.3 Data output The Processing Unit has to be set up to output data to a DP system, following the procedure below:  1. Select which data output channel that is to be configured. This is usually channel 1.  2. Select which port that is going to be used.  3. Configure the port settings according to the settings on the host system.  4. Select the wanted output format. PSXRAD, FBEAM, ARTEMIS and ABB DP are available. For a description of the different formats, see Appendix B - Output Protocols.  5. Set the wanted output interval [ms]. The default value is 1000. This gives an output frequency of 1 Hz (one telegram per second).   Figure 24   Data output configuration

RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Appendix C - Bulgin connector assembly 45 APPENDIX C - BULGIN CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY It is very important that the Bulgin connector is correctly assembled to ensure that the connectors are watertight. Follow the instructions below carefully.  CableGland nutGlandGlandcageSealingcap clipScrewterminalsLockingringRetainingringInsert in correct positionPLEASE NOTE THAT THE FLAT PART OF THESCREW TERMINAL MUST MATCH THECORRESPONDING FLAT PART INSIDE THECONNECTOR MAIN BODY.Connectormain body Figure 25   Bulgin connector assembly  • The gland nut shown in the figure above should be replaced with the supplied gland nut with strain relief.   • Insert the cable through the glands and the connector main body before connecting the wires to the screw terminals.    Note! After fastening the wires in the connector, use Loctite on the screw terminals to avoid loosening of wires due to vibration.   When inserting the screw terminal part into the connector main body, be sure to rotate the part until it is locked before installing the retaining ring. The flat part of the screw terminal must match the corresponding flat part inside the connector main body. A good way to ensure a correct installation is to rotate the screw terminal body inside the connector main body until it locks and can not be rotated more.  It is in addition recommended to vulcanize all outdoor connectors with self vulcanizing tape.
RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5    Appendix C - Bulgin connector assembly 46 Caution!  If the screw terminal body is not correctly mounted in the connector main body, the assembled connector will not be waterproof.   It is recommended to use self vulcanizing tape on the assembled connector.
