1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 About this manual
This manual contains the information necessary to install the RADius 1000 on a vessel. For
all other product information, please consult the RADius 1000 User's Manual, reference [2].
This manual is organised into the following chapters:
Chapter 1 Introduction - A brief presentation of the RADius 1000 Installation Manual with
references and abbreviations.
Chapter 2 Specifications - Describes the physical dimensions, required power,
environmental and cable specifications.
Chapter 3 Installation - Presents procedures to be followed for a typical ship installation
with recommendations on location of the different parts, mechanical and electrical
installation and how to set up the product.
Chapter 4 Installation drawings - Contains outline drawings showing the mechanical
dimensions of the different parts of the RADius 1000.
Chapter 5 Parts list - Lists the parts in the RADius 1000 system.
In this manual the following notations are used:
WARNING! Used when it is necessary to warn personnel that a risk of injury
or death exists if care is not exercised.
Caution! Used to warn the reader that a risk of damage to the equipment exists if
care is not exercised.
Note! Used to draw the reader's attention to a comment or some important
information.
1.2 FCC part 15 statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a marine and/or
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. The equipment is not intended for operation in

RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Introduction

a residential area. Operation in such an area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Additional information to the user:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Kongsberg Seatex AS will void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
1.3 FCC RF exposure compliance
This device conforms with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
WARNING! The RADius must be mounted with a separation distance of at
least 20 cm from any humans.

host system In this manual defined as Navigation computers, Dynamic
Positioning Systems, etc, receiving data from RADius.
Interrogator The Interrogator transmits signals and receives the reflected signals
from the Transponder(s). Based on this, it calculates the distance and
bearing to one or more transponders. Mounted on the DP vessel.
Transponder The Transponder reflects the signals transmitted from the
Interrogator. Mounted on the remote object/vessel.
Latency The time it takes from the actual measurement is made until the
telegram is transmitted on the serial port.

transponders are described in separate manuals). The standard system is supplied with the
following parts:
•A 19-inch rack (6U) (resiliently mounted)
•RADius 1000 Processing Unit (mounted in the rack)
•RADius 1000 Interrogator Unit
•RADius 500 Transponder
•VDU monitor for desktop mounting
•Keyboard with integrated mouse (1U)
•A power and connection shelf (2U) (mounted in the rack)
•Power and data cables between the Processing Unit and the Interrogator Unit
•Documentation
•Power supply - Transponder
Figure 1 RADius 1000 system, single Interrogator

RADius 1000 Installation Manual, rev. 5 Installation

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.
