DANGER
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits the electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be harmful,
particularly to your eyes. Do not look at the Antenna Unit from a close distance while the radar is in
operation, or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
The distances at which RF radiation levels of 10 W/m 2 exist are shown in the table below.
DO NOT approach closer than 9.1m (Safety standard is 10 W/m2) when radar is transmitting.
NOTE: This value is applied when radar is installed in a public space. Value is defined as on
human body surface over a 6-minute period with the flux density averaged from the measurement.
Moreover, this measured value is measured by pointing the center of the antenna towards a
human. However this is the worst value, definition required by actual regulation is written here as
on safe side.
Distance from Antenna
9.1m
Power flux density
10 W/m 2
WARNING
Do not open the radome.
Electrical shock can occur. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment.
Turn off the circuit breaker in the JCU if opening the radome is required.
Wear a hard hat and safety belt when mounting the Antenna Unit.
Serious injury or death can result from falls or dropped items while installing or servicing the
radar components.
Do not use any other power except 100 to 240 VAC.
Connection of an incorrect power supply can cause fire or damage the equipment.
Turn off the power immediately if water leaks into the
equipment or smoke or fire is coming from the equipment.
Failure to turn off the equipment can cause fire or electrical shock.
Do not operate the equipment with wet hands.
Electrical shock can occur.

WARNING LABEL
Warning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label.
If a label is missing or damaged, contact us for the replacement.
WR2120 restrictions
There are restrictions frequency band as follows to use at Switzerland, Lithuania and Slovakia.
Operate the WR2120 using one of the following four channels:
CH1: 9422.5MHz, CH2: 9427.5MHz, CH3: 9432.5MHz, CH4: 9437.5MHz
Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur.
Use only the specified power cable.
Fire or damage to the equipment can result if a different cable is used.
Use the power supply grounded certainly.
Electrical shock or defect of operation can occur.
When a thunderbolt is expected, do not approach a system or
do not touch a hand.
There is a possibility of receiving an electric shock.
A worker's safety is guaranteed however the radar’s internal protection devices only
protect against indirect lightning and surges to the radar components. In case of a direct
lightning strike these protection devices may not protect radar or surrounding personnel.
Attach securely protective earth to the unit.
The protective earth (grounding) is required to the AC power supply to prevent electrical
shock.
CAUTION
Do not put liquid-filled containers on the top of the equipment.
Fire or electrical shock can occur if a liquid spills into the equipment.
Establish best possible surrounding space for apparatus.
This helps eliminate performance degradation and failure.
Do impact the LCD glass.
Serious injury may occur due to broken glass.

OUTLINE OF SYSTEM
This system observes the strength of precipitation, the speed of rain clouds (Doppler speed), and observes
phenomena of rainfall.
Notice:
1. Do not go around the antenna area.
2. While installing antenna on a rooftop of building in urban area, it must be installed in the safety area and
protected by a lightning rod(s) based on IEC 62305.
3. No obstacles should be around the antenna.
Safe distance:
- If H1 is taller than 1.9 meters, it is safe unless directly touching the antenna.
- If H1 is shorter than 1.9 meters, do not enter within a radius of 7.6 meters from the antenna.
Note: It based on the standard human height of 2 meters.
- Refer the Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard on page i.
Note: It is safe to follow this calculated value because it still has some extra safer margin.
e.g.: H2 (Height) = 2m,
d (Distance between center of the antenna and human) =6m, θ=2° (Minimum azimuth is -2°)
H2-0.6+d・tanθ = 2-0.6+6・tan2°=1.6095m<H1
Therefore, H1 (Height of radar stand) = 1.6m,

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The observation system consists of an Antenna Unit (radome), a Junction Unit, and a Data Processing Unit
(indoor unit) is shown below.
(1) Antenna Unit (radome)
Radome is to provide protection for enclosed physical environment. Inside the radome, there is the antenna
that rotates and radiates the radio waves. The radiated waves are backscattered by particles on the
propagation path, return to the antenna, and are processed by RF converter to transfer the signals to the
Signal Processing Unit.
(2) Signal Processing Unit (storage box)
Signal Processing Unit is stored in the storage box, and processes received signals digitally. The digital
processed signals are transferred to the Data Processing Unit via 1000Base-TX (LAN). This unit is a relay
point of LAN cable (1000Base-TX Cat5e or better, it is recommend to use STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
instead of UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) and switches on the power of the ATU. Do not exclude them
because of CE and FCC registration reason.
(3) Data Processing Unit (indoor unit)
Data Processing Unit is displaying radar data and operates the weather radar.
User needs to prepare the external storage device for recording the weather observation data if necessary.
DPU has 3 ports for the dedicated LAN connections; ATU/SPU (LAN1), Internet (LAN2), and MONI-CON
(USB-LAN adaptor).
Note: Do not install any software into DPU because it will cause an out of system resource problem.
