Welcome to the RangeGuard

Installer’s Guide. This document explains how

and where to mount a RangeGuard system onto a vessel, how to install the
RangeGuard interface and how to configure the system parameters. For

Note that the installation of a RangeGuard system is application
specific; assistance from Guidance Marine may be required to
achieve optimal performance.

The RangeGuard system is subject to further development. Whilst we
endeavour to describe its functionality correctly, we do not guarantee
that this document exactly represents the version of the system that
you are installing or operating.
