Where to install Radascan
The Radascan system is designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation at a suitable
location on the installation vessel.
Radascan sensor mounted on a rigid mounting surface,
Above seal level, clear of obstructions and with a clear
view in the direction of the targets
The Radascan sensor should be firmly bolted to a flat horizontal surface at the suitable location
The mounting surface must have the following characteristics:
• be rigid and able to support the sensor weight of 75Kg.
• be capable of receiving the 4 fixing bolts used to secure the sensor.
• be well above sea level to prevent the swamping or immersion of the sensor.
• afford an adequate view in the expected direction of retro-reflective targets.
• be clear of likely omissions from exhausts or other particulate sources to prevent the need
for overly frequent cleaning of the sensor
Typical installation for a platform supply vessel is above the wheelhouse looking over the back
deck area. Installation may benefit from the use of a custom fabricated mounting plate located
outside the rear guard-rail
