Introduction
5
Welcome to the RadaScan (Dashboard) Installer’s Guide. It explains how to mount and install the RadaScan system onto a vessel. For instructions on how to use the system, please see the RadaScan (Dashboard) Operator’s Guide (Doc No. 94-0393-4).
Please read the Important Safety Notes on page 8 before beginning the installation.
The Installing the Sensor Hardware and Software section on page 11 describes where to mount the RadaScan sensor on the vessel, and how to connect it to the RadaScan Type 2 Marine Processor and the vessel’s DP system. It also explains how to upgrade the sensor software, if required.
The Installing the Type 2 Marine Processor section on page 29 gives relevant information for mounting and setting up the Marine Processor and explains how to upgrade the RadaScan Dashboard software, if required.
The Configuring the RadaScan Dashboard section on page 35 explains how to configure the system for your vessel.
The Installing Responders section on page 48 explains how to mount and use RadaScan Responders.
Welcome
!NOTE: Installation of a RadaScan system should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent engineer.

The RadaScan position reference system combines the accuracy of a laser-based system with the all-weather capabilities of radar. It provides precise positional data to DP (dynamic positioning) vessel control systems, which can be used to enable automated approach and station keeping relative to a structure or other vessel.
The RadaScan System consists of three main parts: The Sensor, the Dashboard and the Responder:
RadaScan SensorThe RadaScan Sensor is a rotating radar scanner mounted on the DP-equipped vessel. It emits a microwave beam and detects the reflections returned by any RadaScan Responders that are within range. It is connected to the vessel’s DP system and to the RadaScan Dashboard.
System Overview
RadaScan Dashboard SoftwareThe RadaScan Dashboard software runs on a marine-specification processor, usually mounted on the bridge near to the controls of the vessel’s DP system. It gives the DP operator control of the RadaScan Sensor and the data stream being fed to the DP system.
RadaScan Responder (Target)One or more responders are mounted on the target platform or vessel. Each responder returns a modulated radar reflection that carries its unique ID number back to the RadaScan Sensor.
The precise range and bearing of each responder is measured by the sensor. This is used to calculate the exact position of the RadaScan vessel relative to the target structure or vessel. The positional data is fed directly into the vessel’s DP system.
RadaScan Sensor Responder RadaScan Dashboard Software
7
Non-ionising RadiationThe RadaScan sensor emits non-ionising radiation with an output power of 3 Watts when transmitting.
This equipment should be treated with the same safety precautions as other marine radar devices.
ALWAYS keep a minimum safe distance of 1 metre from the dome when the unit is operational.
Risk of Electric ShockDisconnect the mains electricity supply before opening the connection panel or removing the radome cover.
Isolating the SensorFor PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT, a readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated external to the equipment.
For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

Important Safety Notes (continued)
Lifting the SensorThe RadaScan sensor unit weighs approximately 100kg.
It is recommended that lifting of the RadaScan sensor be conducted by someone with appropriate experience in lifting, adhering to the following procedure:
1. Locate one of the three bolts around the perimeter of the radome that are marked “SECURE LIFTING EYE HERE” (see Figure 1).
2. Remove the bolt.
3. Attach a lifting eye to the radome by lowering its threaded section into the empty hole and fitting the washer and nut from below (Figure 2).
4. Tighten the nut using a torque of 30Nm.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 to fit the other two lifting eyes.
6. Securely attach the sensor to suitable lifting equipment by passing straps through the lifting eyes or by the use of hooks.
7. Once the lifting operation is complete and the sensor is in a stable position, remove the three lifting eyes.
8. Replace the original three bolts into the radome and tighten to 30Nm.
Figure 1
Figure 2
These instructions apply only to sensors fitted with the latest radome (having the protruding rim as illustrated). Sensors fitted with the older type of radome should be lifted using the eye rings on top of the radome.

Installing the Sensor Hardware and Software
Mounting the Sensor
Applications and Vessel TypesThe sensor’s mounting position depends on the application for which it is used. If your particular application does not match the ones covered in this manual, please contact Guidance Marine and your DP supplier to ensure that the RadaScan and DP systems are configured correctly.
• Operating Area Astern (e.g. PSV) (page 14)
• Operating Area Forward (e.g. Shuttle Tanker) (page 15)
• Operating Area to Port or Starboard (e.g. Track and Follow) (page 16)
Generic Mounting GuidelinesThe following guidelines apply to all vessel types and applications. The Sensor should be mounted:
• With the connection panel facing away from the operating area.
• With an unobstructed view in the expected direction of the responder structure or vessel.
• At the same height above sea level as the responders that the vessel will be using.
• Well above sea-level to prevent swamping or immersion.
• Allowing for easy access to the connection panel and Sensor Information Display.
• On a different vertical level to any X-Band radar systems. (See Avoiding Other Sources of Radiation on page 13).
Mounting Plinths and BracketsThe sensor should be mounted on a flat, rigid, horizontal surface able to support 100kg and receive four M12 fixing bolts. This can be a custom-made plinth. (See Mounting Template on page 18).
Bearing OffsetsThe sensor’s orientation and position on the vessel must be set up in the Dashboard software. (See Bow and Starboard Offsets on page 45 and Bearing Offset on page 46).
2500mm
1850mm
Leave sufficient clearance around the sensor to allow access to the cable connection plate.
Ensure that there is a clear line of sight to the Information Display Screen. (See Sensor Information Display on page 26).
Leave sufficient vertical clearance to allow the radome to be removed.
12
Mounting the Sensor (continued)
Avoiding Other Sources of RadiationThere should be as much vertical separation as possible between the RadaScan Sensor and any X-Band radar or Artemis systems, to prevent the RadaScan signal from being jammed.
Wherever possible, the RadaScan Sensor should not be installed at the same vertical level as an X-Band radar or Artemis scanner.
If vertical separation of the two systems is impossible, they must be shielded from one another with a metal screen. The screen must be large enough to physically shield the RadaScan sensor from the whole width of the x-band/Artemis antenna. In some cases, the vessel’s metal superstructure may be used to provide part or all of the shielding between the two systems.
The RadaScan Sensor does not need to be shielded from radar-based systems mounted on other vessels or structures.

Your RadaScan sensor will have been shipped from Guidance Marine with software already installed. However, it may be necessary from time to time to upgrade the software with a newer version.
This can normally be done without the need to re-enter information about the sensor such as Antenna Type. However, in the unlikely event that the installation has become corrupted, a “Clean Install” is required which makes a fresh record of the information.
To Upgrade the Sensor Software and overwrite Sensor Parameters:
1. Copy the RadaScan.Installer.Remote.exe file from the USB memory stick on which it was supplied onto the hard disk of your Type 2 Marine Processor or other computer on the same local area network as the sensor.
2. Double-click on the RadaScan.Installer.Remote.exe file.

Use in Hazardous Environments• Series 2 responders and primary cell packs may be used in zones 1 or 2 with flammable
gases.
• Series 3 responders and primary cell packs may be used in zones 0, 1 or 2 with flammable gases.
• All Series 2 and 3 responders and primary cell packs may be used in the presence of flammable gases and vapours with apparatus groups IIB or IIA and with temperature classes T1 or T2 or T3 or T4.
• The equipment is certified for use in ambient temperatures in the applicable range shown above and should not be used outside this range.
Installation and Maintenance• Responders must be installed by suitably trained personnel in accordance
with the applicable code of practice (typically IEC EN 60079-14).
• Responders must be inspected regularly by suitably trained personnel in accordance with the applicable code of practice to ensure they are maintained in a satisfactory condition.
• Responders are not intended to be repaired by the user. They must only be repaired or serviced by Guidance Marine, or by an approved service representative of Guidance Marine, in accordance with the applicable code of practice.
• Responders do not require assembly or dismantling. They do not contain any customer-replaceable parts, and no user adjustment is required.
Responder Overview (continued)
Responder colours:Each Series 2 or 3 Responder uses one of four different modulation frequencies. These are characterised as colours: Red, Yellow, Green and Blue. The colour of a responder is clearly marked on the outside of its case, and is shown next to its ID number on the Reflections and Extended Information panes of the Dashboard.
This scheme makes it easier for the RadaScan system to separate the signal from one responder from the signal from a responder of a different colour. If you use more than one responder at once, then for best results make sure that you use a different colour for each responder.
Note that for a Series 1 Responder, the Dashboard displays the term “FSK” instead of a colour. A different modulation mechanism is used, combining the same modulation frequencies used by the Red and Blue Series 2 and 3 responders. For this reason system performance may be degraded if a Series 1 responder is located at a similar bearing to a Red or Blue Series 2 or 3 responder.
Electrostatic Hazard• Responders must not be installed where external conditions could cause an electrostatic build-up
on their outer casing.
• The Responder’s outer casing presents a static hazard and must only be cleaned using a damp cloth.
Corrosive Substances• Responders should be protected from solvents, or acidic gases or liquids that may affect the
integrity of the outer case.
Transport• Responders must be transported in a suitable transit case.
50
Positioning Responders
The location, range and orientation of the Responders in relation to the Sensor have a significant effect on the tracking performance of the RadaScan system, and hence on the quality of the position data sent to the DP system.
The RadaScan system is based on radar technology. Metallic structures reflect the microwave beam transmitted by the sensor, and can cause multipath interference, where ghost images are reported by the system. However, this unwanted phenomenon can be prevented by carefully positioning the responders according to the following guidelines:
Responders Should be Mounted:
99With a clear, unobstructed view towards the RadaScan-equipped vessel.
99At a height no lower than two metres below the vessel-mounted Sensor.
99At a height no higher than five metres above the vessel-mounted Sensor.
99On outside corners of the rig or platform to minimise the amount of metallic structure around them.
51
Good Location
9 Good angle of incidence.
9 Lower angle of elevation allows vessel to pick up responder on approach.
9 Longer range aids performance in high sea states.
9 Usually clear of obstructions and away from enclosed corners.
9 Provides adequate cover during vessel manœuvres.
R

Rig/Platform RadaScan Vessel
Poor Responder Location
Responders Should NOT be Mounted:

9Below an overhang.
9On lower service decks below a main-deck overhang.
9 Suspended from a lanyard or length of rope.
Mounting Responders
Loosen the nut to swivel the bracket in the required direction.
!Tighten the nut with a spanner to fix the bracket’s
position.
52
The responder can be used with or without a swivel bracket, as long as it is mounted with its longest side vertical, and its carrying-handle at the top.
To Mount the Responder:1. Hook the foot of the responder underneath the knob on the
bottom of the mounting plate. (See below).
2. Rotate the responder backwards until it is held in place by its magnet against the mounting plate.

The responder must always be used with its longest side vertical, and its carrying handle at the top.
Switch the unit off when not in use to preserve the battery.
! The responder is water resistant. However, do not submerge the unit in water.
To Switch the Responder ON:• Press the ON/OFF button at the top of the unit.
• For a rechargeable responder, the green light in the centre of the button indicates how much battery charge is remaining (assuming 24/7 operation):
Light solidly on Up to 22 days left
1 flash in 5 seconds Up to 10 days left
3 flashes in 5 seconds Up to 1 day left
• For a mains powered responder, the light should flash with an interval of 5 seconds.
• For a primary cell responder, the light indicates the state of the primary cell pack:
1 flash in 5 seconds PCP normal
3 flashes in 5 seconds PCP low
Under normal conditions, the primary cell responder will operate for up to one year before the batteries need replacing.
!When a rechargeable responder is switched on and the green light is not illuminated, recharge the battery.
!When a primary cell responder is switched on and the green light does not flash at all, replace the whole primary
cell. Alternatively, the batteries within the primary cell may be replaced, but this must only be done in an ATEX safe environment, using batteries supplied by Guidance Marine or authorised partners.
