standard power outlet. The radar is interfaced to a Doppler processor a single four-wire cable
equipped with military connectors. This cable is used to carry out the radar Doppler signal to the
processing unit and the antenna transmission control. You should connect your radar cable from
this connector to the appropriate radar input on your processing unit.
The radar head has an override transmitter control switch that can be used to activate the
transmitter locally at the antenna.
In addition, the radar has a transmitter power control switch that can be used to select between
low or high output power. At the low setting, the transmitter output power is 0.2 Watt and at the
high setting, the output is 2.0 Watts.
The BR-1001 has three LED indicators, one green for the main power, one red for the transmitter
on/off status and one red for the transmitter output power selection (off for low and on for high).
Also, the BR-1001 has a provision for connecting a 12 VDC (2 amperes maximum) warning
device. The warning device is automatically enabled when the radar transmitter is switched on.
This safety feature is useful to warn bystanders when the radar is radiating. The warning device is
not mandatory and is therefore not provided as a standard equipment with the radar. Depending
on the environment in which the radar is going to be used, it is the responsibility of the operator
to install such device to provide additional safety for the personnel.
6. Maintenance
The BR-1001 radar does not require much maintenance. Attention should however be paid to a
few points:
- Keep the connectors clean from dirt and moisture to avoid corrosion and bad connections.
- Now and then wipe the radar enclosure and antenna panels with a soft and wet cloth.
- The radar radiating elements are protected by a plastic radome.
Special attention should be
paid when handling the radar antenna to avoid damaging the radome as it could result in
performance degradation.
The radar fuses are located inside the radar unit. To replace them, refer the radar system to
qualified personnel.
Warning: No operator serviceable parts inside the radar unit. Please refer
servicing to service qualified personnel
