IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. MNG/2017/009 Rev 1.1 21/ 54
• 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. After
the surface reconstruction the PTU is used to move the Radar
Sensor in elevation, to match the Camera tilting angle, then in
azimuth (from -60° to +60°) to perform the actual scan.

WARNING: Pinch point. Beware of the risk of finger pinch
between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic trigger during
rotation of the system (Fig. 14).

A tripod is provided for the installation of the PTU, with an interface
that allows easy fastening (Fig. 15).
