Mooring Point Reflectors - Installation and Definition
Reflector types
Two main types of reflectors are used with the CyScan system, flat and cylindrical. These
are shown below:
Flat reflectors
Flat reflectors are generally attached
using steel clips to rigid structures such
as metal posts.
2m long flat reflectors can typically
be seen up to 300m in good
conditions. A short 1m
reflector will be
visible to
200m.
Cylindrical reflectors
Cylindrical reflectors can be hung
over the side of the mooring
point vessel.
The GCS cylindrical
reflectors can be seen
up to 200m in good
conditions. A shackle
at either end can be
used to secure them.
