SYSTEM BREAKDOWN • • For Hydra-G HP, the PTU is used to move the Radar Sensor in azimuth for the actual monitoring. During the scan the PTU moves in azimuth at a fixed elevation from -60° to +60° clockwise, and then returns to -60° (counterclockwise). For Hydra-G LP, the PTU is used to move the Radar Sensor in azimuth and elevation to perform the surface reconstruction.
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN 5.5 Power Supply Unit The Power Supply Unit (or PSU) supplies electric power to the system.
SYSTEM BREAKDOWN The PSU has an emergency stop button accessible on its external surface (Fig. 1) that, if pressed, immediately stops the movement of the PTU. Once pressed, the button switches off the supply of the PTU. The button needs to be pushed again to switch on the PTU again and restart the acquisition. Opening the PSU gives access to 3 buttons: • ON button (Fig. 18); • OFF button (Fig. 18); • Alarm Mute button (Fig. 19). Fig.
