1.1
Series 3 and 4 Responders can be used with RadaScan and RadaScan View
systems. One or more Responders should be mounted on the target platform or
vessel.
There are three models of RadaScan Series 3 Responder:
• Rechargeable (Part No. 20-0189-2)
• Primary Cell Responder (Part No. 20-0194-2)
• ISPP Powered (Part No. 20-0195-2)
• Primary Cell Pack (Part No. 21-0375-1)
The ISPP Powered Responder is used with Series 3 and 4 ISPP Responder Power
Supply (Part No. 21-0377-2).
There are three models of RadaScan Series 4 Responder:
• Rechargeable Responder (Part No. 20-0276)
• Primary Cell Pack Responder (Part No. 20-0284)
• ISPP Responder (Part No. 20-0286)
• Primary Cell Pack (Part No. 21-0505)
The Series 3 and Series 4 Primary Cell Responders are powered by different Primary
Cell Packs (Part No. 21-0375-1 - Series 3 | Part No. 21-0505 - Series 4). This
requires battery replacement as routine maintenance. This should be undertaken by
Wärtsilä Guidance Marine, or by a suitably qualied service technician.

Responder Overview (continued)
Use in Hazardous Environments
•Series 3 and 4 Responders and primary cell packs may be used in zones 0, 1 or 2 with
ammable gases.
•All Series 3 and 4 Responders and primary cell packs may be used in the presence of ammable
gases and vapours with gas group IIB and with temperature class T4.
•The equipment is certied for use in ambient temperatures in the applicable range shown
above and should not be used outside this range.
Installation and Maintenance
•Responders must be installed by suitably trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable code of practice (typically IEC EN 60079-14).
•Responders must be inspected regularly by suitably trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable code of practice to ensure they are maintained in a satisfactory
condition.
•Responders are not intended to be repaired by the user. They must only be repaired or
serviced by Guidance Marine, or by an approved service representative of Wärtsilä Guidance
Marine, in accordance with the applicable code of practice.

•Responders do not require assembly or dismantling.
They do not contain any customer-replaceable parts, and no user adjustment is required.
Electrostatic Hazard
•Responders must not be installed where external conditions could cause an electrostatic
build-up on their outer casing.
•The Responder’s outer casing presents a static hazard and must only be cleaned using a
damp cloth.
Corrosive Substances
•Responders should be protected from solvents, or acidic gases or liquids that may affect the
integrity of the outer case.
Transport
•Responders must be transported in a suitable transit case.
Responder Colours
Each Responder uses one of four different modulation frequencies. These are characterised as
colours: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. The colour of a Responder is clearly marked on the outside
of its case, and is shown next to its ID number on the Reections and Extended Information panes
of the Dashboard.
This scheme makes it easier for the RadaScan View system to separate the signal from one
Responder from the signal from a Responder of a different colour. If you use more than one
Responder at once, then for best results make sure that you use a different colour for each
Responder.
FCC RF Exposure Safety Distance
•Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the transmitter and
may violate FCC regulations. To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure
guidelines, a distance of ≥ 20 cm must be maintained between this device and personnel.

1.2
The location, range and orientation of the Responders in relation to the Sensor have
a signicant effect on the tracking performance of the RadaScan View system, and
hence on the quality of the position data sent to the DP system.
The RadaScan View system is based on radar technology. Metallic structures
reect the microwave beam transmitted by the sensor, and can cause multipath
interference, where ghost images are reported by the system. However, this
unwanted phenomenon can be prevented by carefully positioning the Responders
according to the following guidelines:
Installing Responders 1
894-0649-A
Positioning Responders
Responders Should be Mounted: Responders Should NOT be Mounted:
9With a clear, unobstructed view towards the RadaScan View-equipped
vessel.
9At a height no lower than two metres below the vessel-mounted Sensor.
9At a height no higher than ve metres above the vessel-mounted Sensor.
9On outside corners of the rig or platform to minimise the amount of
metallic structure around them.
8On inside corners.
8Below an overhang.
8On lower service decks below a main-deck overhang.
8Suspended from a lanyard or length of rope.

Swivel Bracket
Mounting Responders
The Responder can be used with or without a swivel
bracket, as long as it is mounted with its longest side
vertical, and its carrying-handle at the top.
To Mount the Responder
1. Hook the foot of the Responder underneath the
knob on the bottom of the mounting plate. (See
below).
2. Rotate the Responder backwards until it is held in
place by its magnet against the mounting plate.
3. (Optional) Attach safety lanyard onto the
Responder and the swivel bracket or other xture.
The swivel bracket (Part No. 21-0328-1) should be used to point the Responder towards the
RadaScan View Vessel’s working area.
It can be mounted on either a horizontal or vertical bar:

1194-0649-A
Charging Responders
!DO NOT charge Responders in an explosive atmosphere or other hazardous
environment.
The Responder should be switched off while charging.
To Charge the Responder:
!Note: Only use the supplied charger. Only charge at ambient temperatures of
0oC to +45oC.
1. Switch the Responder off and unscrew the charging socket cap on the rear of
the unit.
2. Remove the Responder from the hazardous location.
3. Connect the supplied mains charger (Part No. 39-0049-2).
(Input: 100–240VAC, 50–60Hz, 1.5A Output: 24VDC, 2.5A, 60W).
4. When charging is complete, disconnect the power from
the unit and replace the charging socket cap.

Operating Responders
The Responder must always be used with its longest side vertical, and its carrying handle at the top.
Switch the unit off when not in use to preserve the battery.
!The Responder is water resistant. However, do not submerge the unit in water.
To Switch the Responder ON:
• Press the ON/OFF button at the top of the unit.
• When rst turned on, the LED will remain illuminated for 30 seconds for both the PCP and
Rechargeable Responder
• For a rechargeable Responder, the green light in the centre of the button indicates how much
battery charge is remaining (assuming 24/7 operation):
Indicator Series 3 Series 4 - Use
Light solidly on Up to 22 days left > 90%
1 ash in 5 seconds Up to 10 days left 25% - 90%
3 ashes in 5 seconds Up to 1 day left < 25%
• For a Permanently Powered Responder, the light should ash with an interval of 5 seconds.
• For a Primary Cell Responder, the light indicates the state of the Primary Cell Pack:
1 ash in 5 seconds PCP Normal
3 ashes in 5 seconds PCP Low
Under normal conditions, the Primary Cell Responder will operate for up to one year* before the batteries need replacing.
!When a rechargeable Responder is switched on and the green light is not illuminated, recharge the battery.
!When a primary cell Responder is switched on and the green light does not flash at all, replace the primary cell. The batteries within the primary cell may be replaced, but this must only
be done in an ATEX safe environment, using batteries supplied by Wärtsilä Guidance Marine or authorised partners. Refer to ‘Series 4 Primary Cell Pack Battery Replacement Guide
(94-0647)’.
