quadrature video output. This is a BNC connector that can be configured to be either differential or
single ended. The termination can be configured to 50Ω, 75Ω or no termination.
3.4 Sync
The Sync connector should be connected to the sync pulse for the trigger output on the radar. This is
a BNC connector that can be configured to be either differential or single ended. The termination can
be configured to 75Ω, 120Ω, no termination or high voltage.
3.5 GPS
The GPS connector should not be connected. This TNC connector is for future use.
3.6 RS232/ARP/ACP
This connector is a male DSUB-9 connector.
The pin-out is described in Table 2.

3.7 Radar data out
The Radar data out connector is an Ethernet RJ45 (8P8C) connector. The radar data out should be
connected directly to a radar extractor computer due to the high data bandwidth, up to 1Gbit/s.
The default network configuration is:
Name
Value
Comment
MAC address
The MAC address is unique for each R5 RIC.
IPV4 Address
10.74.2.173
Only IPV4 is supported.
Radar data is sent as UDP broadcast from port 33000 to port 33000 by default. This interface does
not respond to any Ethernet requests (e.g. PING, etc.).

3.8 Radar data in
The Radar data in connector is an Ethernet RJ45 (8P8C) connector that should be connected to a
radar with digital video out on Ethernet (for example Terma 2202).
3.9 Config
The Config connector is an Ethernet RJ45 (8P8C) connector that should be connected to an Ethernet
network for configuration and data exchange to/from an external system (for example CoastWatch).
The default network configuration is:
Name

3.10 Ground
M6 screw with two M6 nuts to connect cable lug. From this connector, a ground cable of minimum
2.5 mm² should be connected to the radar site ground. Grounding of the R5 RIC is essential to protect
the equipment from overvoltage.
3.11 Digital I/O
The digital I/O connector is a female 44-pin DSUB-HD.
3.12 USB
Two USB A connectors for future use.
The USB connectors can be used as a power source to other equipment. The maximum delivered
current is 1.0 A from each USB port.
3.13 Analogue I/O
The connector is a female 9-pin DSUB.
Pin-out description can be found in Table 4.

4OPERATION
4.1 Start-up
R5 RIC starts automatically when the power is supplied. After about 30 seconds the Operation LED
should start to flash.
The behaviour of the three lower LEDs can be found in Figure 3. Note that the behaviour of the three
lower LED indicators only is valid once the Operation LED has started to flash.
