• System Overview (page 7)
• Important Safety Notes (page 8)
• Serial Numbers and Software Versions (page 10)
Introduction
5

Welcome to the RadaScan (Dashboard) Installer’s Guide. It explains how to mount and
install the RadaScan system onto a vessel. For instructions on how to use the system,
please see the RadaScan (Dashboard) Operator’s Guide (Doc No. 94-0393-4).
Please read the Important Safety Notes on page 8 before beginning the installation.
The Installing the Sensor Hardware and Software section on page 11 describes
where to mount the RadaScan sensor on the vessel, and how to connect it to the
RadaScan Type 2 Marine Processor and the vessel’s DP system. It also explains how
to upgrade the sensor software, if required.
The Installing the Type 2 Marine Processor section on page 29 gives relevant
information for mounting and setting up the Marine Processor and explains how to
upgrade the RadaScan Dashboard software, if required.
The Configuring the RadaScan Dashboard section on page 35 explains how to
configure the system for your vessel.
The Installing Responders section on page 48 explains how to mount and use
RadaScan Responders.
Welcome
!NOTE: Installation of a RadaScan
system should be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
engineer.

The RadaScan position reference system combines the accuracy of a laser-based system with
the all-weather capabilities of radar. It provides precise positional data to DP (dynamic positioning)
vessel control systems, which can be used to enable automated approach and station keeping
relative to a structure or other vessel.
The RadaScan System consists of three main parts: The Sensor, the Dashboard and the
Responder:
RadaScan Sensor
The RadaScan Sensor is a rotating radar scanner mounted on the DP-equipped vessel. It emits
a microwave beam and detects the reflections returned by any RadaScan Responders that are
within range. It is connected to the vessel’s DP system and to the RadaScan Dashboard.
System Overview
RadaScan Dashboard Software
The RadaScan Dashboard software runs on a marine-specification processor, usually mounted on
the bridge near to the controls of the vessel’s DP system. It gives the DP operator control of the
RadaScan Sensor and the data stream being fed to the DP system.
RadaScan Responder (Target)
One or more responders are mounted on the target platform or vessel. Each responder returns a
modulated radar reflection that carries its unique ID number back to the RadaScan Sensor.
The precise range and bearing of each responder is measured by the sensor. This is used to
calculate the exact position of the RadaScan vessel relative to the target structure or vessel. The
positional data is fed directly into the vessel’s DP system.

Non-ionising Radiation
The RadaScan sensor emits non-ionising radiation with an
output power of 3 Watts when transmitting.
This equipment should be treated with the same safety
precautions as other marine radar devices.
ALWAYS keep a minimum safe distance of 1 metre from the
dome when the unit is operational.
Risk of Electric Shock
Disconnect the mains electricity supply before opening the
connection panel or removing the radome cover.
Isolating the Sensor
For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily
accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated external to
the equipment.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Important Safety Notes (continued)
Lifting the Sensor
The RadaScan sensor unit weighs approximately 100kg.
It is recommended that lifting of the RadaScan sensor be conducted by someone with
appropriate experience in lifting, adhering to the following procedure:
1. Locate one of the three bolts around the perimeter of the radome that are marked “SECURE
LIFTING EYE HERE” (see Figure 1).
2. Remove the bolt.
3. Attach a lifting eye to the radome by lowering its threaded section into the empty hole and
fitting the washer and nut from below (Figure 2).
4. Tighten the nut using a torque of 30Nm.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to fit the other two lifting eyes.
6. Securely attach the sensor to suitable lifting equipment by passing straps through the lifting
eyes or by the use of hooks.
7. Once the lifting operation is complete and the sensor is in a stable position, remove the three
lifting eyes.
8. Replace the original three bolts into the radome and tighten to 30Nm.
Figure 1
Figure 2
These instructions apply only to sensors fitted
with the latest radome (having the protruding
rim as illustrated). Sensors fitted with the older
type of radome should be lifted using the eye
rings on top of the radome.

Serial Numbers and Software Versions
The processor board serial number is different from the serial number for the whole
sensor shown on the product label. These should not be confused.
Software Version Information
The About System pane provides version information about the Dashboard and the software within
the RadaScan sensor. It also contains the serial number of the processor board within the sensor.
Serial Numbers and Software Version Numbers are used to identify the hardware configuration
and product revision of each RadaScan sensor. They will be requested by Guidance Marine in the
event of an application service or support call to the company.
Product Labels
Part Numbers and Serial Numbers can be found on the product label fixed on the side of the
sensor, above the connection panel.
