SYSTEM HARDWARE OVERVIEW

POWER SUPPLY

The radar is powered using a DC voltage in the range of 10-16 Volts. The power is applied to the radar using the

multi-pin mating connector.

Reverse polarity protection is included in the design. The radar takes approximately 1A for a period of 5ms.

The radar consumes 500mA at 12vDC. Power consumption is approximately 6 Watts.

A thermal fuse with a 1.25A rating has been installed to protect against electrical short circuit fault conditions.

Power-Up Sequence

Upon initialisation from power-up or *REBOOT the radar will respond with the following message;

AGD SYSTEMS LTD AGD350

350-000-000

ARM Software version MI-164-2

DSP Software version MI-159-2

Common Platform version REL-13

FPGA version 15E000E

Power Supply Tolerance

The radar power supply is speciﬁed between 10 and 16vDC. The radar will operate outside of these parameters

but its operation is not speciﬁed. At 12vDC the current consumed is 500mA.
