6.5 Performance Monitoring
There are no user activated performance monitoring checks in the system. The SharpEye™
transceiver continuously runs background performance checks on forward power, reverse power,
receiver sensitivity and temperature. If any of these parameters falls outside predetermined levels a
warning message is sent to the Radar Distribution Unit indicating the nature of the fault.
It is strongly recommended that regular checks are made on a known good target for radar return
quality, range and bearing.
6.6 Loss of Control Signal
LOCAL MODE/CONTROL
If communication is lost between the Radar Distribution Unit and the Service Display, track extractor
or third party command and control system, the transceiver will continue to operate at the last known
state.
A COMM FAILURE alert would be raised and displayed at the RDU.
REMOTE MODE/CONTROL
If communication is lost between the RDU and the transceiver, the power to the transceiver is
removed briefly by the RDU to reset the equipment.
Corruption of control messages or poor azimuth data may cause a spurious lock-up of the transceiver
that can be cleared by this automatic reset.
