4.3.1 Connect Power and Network
1. Remove the protective cap from the Ethernet connector on the radar and attach the
RJ45 plug. Ensure that the weatherproof shroud on the Ethernet cable is sealed and
secure to the radar.
2. Making sure first that the power is off, attach the 24V DC plug to the radar connector.
3. Attach a suitable earth cable to the earthing point (use M5 bolt, spring washer and
plain washer supplied in bolt kit).
4. Ensure that the power and Ethernet cables are securely connected into a suitable
junction box that has a suitable 24V DC power supply installed.
Note: The radar typically draws approximately 1A. Ensure that the power supply
cabling is correctly terminated.
5. Ensure that the junction box has an Ethernet cable/fibre optic running to the
infrastructure network switch.
6. When power is applied, ensure that the radar begins rotating - you can easily hear this,
although it takes approximately 10 seconds for the radar to start rotating – in cold
conditions this could be longer
4.3.2 Care Point
Additional Protection:
If the radar is likely to be exposed to high pressure jet washing and/or washing with an added
soap solution you should add additional protection to the connector fittings once the cables
are attached. The application of a wax oil or non-corrosive silicone sealant to the connector
joints after final installation should be utilised. Failure to do so in this situation could cause
premature corrosion to the connectors, causing the radar to stop working due to incorrect
installation.
No other washing additives should be used to clean the radar except water and soap.
